I went to bed with a low grade fever and woke up with a sore throat and achy body and still running a low grade fever. I suppose I need to go to the doctor to be tested for strep throat, but in the mean time, I need to treat my symptoms at home. My throat was sore this morning and I woke up wanting some of my aloe juice. I drank one 4 oz serving and it soothed my throat so more I drank two more 4 oz servings. Drinking the aloe juice soothed my sore throat so well that even now at least 2 hours later I have not had more juice but I still have had no sore throat. I thought 'man I gotta google that.'
This is what I found. We all know aloe is some great stuff. It has so many nutrients and healing properties, and vitamins, all with no harmful side effects with regular use. I think I could write another 20 blogs on just aloe alone.
This web site says that you can drink or gargle with aloe to sooth a sore throat. It gives a recipe for aloe gargle that you can use to sooth a sore throat. It says if you put a lid on this mouth wash it will keep up to 4 months unrefrigerated. Woo Hoo.
Here it is!
1. 1/4 cup witch hazel extract.
2. 1/4 cup aloe vera gel
3. 1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin
4. 1 tablespoon lemon juice or organic apple cyder vinegar
5. 10 drops tea tree oil
Shake well
When purchasing aloe juice or products just be sure to check the label and make sure it is 95% aloe, and avoid purchasing those with less than 80% pure aloe vera content. I am so excited to have a chance to read this and you can bet I will be blogging more about the benefits of aloe!
