ALOE VERA GEL CAN HELP RELIEVE BACK PAINS!

Few days ago I was applying natural treatments to soften  my thick natural  African hair since I no longer use chemical relaxer. 

If I don't soften the hair, it would be painful for me when the hair is being plaited. 

Apart from sheabutter and lime juuce I used, I also went to my mini-garden to pluck Aloe Vera to apply the gel.

.

Around that period I was having back aches. If it is serious back pains, you should go to see a doctor o. 

But this back ache or pain is one of those regulars that come and go.  

Short-term back pain can last a few days to a few weeks. It  is acute and if you take care of yourself  by avoiding unhealthy foods/drinks and taking rests when you should, it will go away and you can resume your active lifestyle.

 It is usually caused by heavy lifting or strenuous activities and certain inflammatory foods like refined sugared foods/drinks and other unhealthy foods/drinks.

Chronic back pain is long-term backpain-it usually lasts for at least three months  or longer, It would just refuse to go  away. It may be caused by serious injury  such as in an accident or underlying health conditions like kidney problems. 

For me, it is those short term   backaches  which can be very irritating because I don't like being slowed down in accomplishing the many activities that I tackle on most days - I need my body functioning optimally. 

So when I plucked the Aloe Vera leave and cut into two to extract the juice/gel to apply on my hair, a thought just occurred to me - why not lick a bit of the  gel for this irritating back pain?  So I did. Few hours later,  I noticed that the back pain had gone! 

Yesterday night as well, I noticed I was having sòme back aches after having spent the evening earlier carrying some heavy items in doing gardening work. 

So I went to the garden and  cut off a bit of the Aloe Vera and licked.  In about an hour I started having so much relief and  had a good time doing leisure reading for hours into early hours of this morning. 

So I got thinking about how the Aloe Vera leaf if turned upside down is so similar to the curvature of the spine on the human back.

 One of the clues to knowing if a plant part such as leaves or fruits would be good for nutritional or health-safety for a body organ is from the shape. 

I heard this many years ago and it has proven true to some extent. For example,  in addition to the many other benefits of edible leaves, most leaves have the shape of the eyes  - moreso, leaves absorb sunLIGHT - sunlight gives illumination during the day.   So in leave would no doubt be elements for the illumination of human and even animal bodies  - a function normally performed by the eyes.

So back to Aloe Vera and  the human spine - place the point you cut off from the plant at the upper part of your back with the inner part outwards and the tip downwards - uuummm...

So having noticed these I decided to read about it, if indeed Aloe Vera  was good for relieving back pains.

To my surprise, there has been extensive researches which to a large extent confirm this - but I can't  put all those details here.  Maybe I would still write extensively on it with specific details on the researches, researchers and where, how and when the researches were done.  

The  long and short of the researches is that the gel provides relief from body joint pains, due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

For example, researchers have found that Aloe vera has analgesic properties that can reduce neuropathic pain so aloe vera may reduce back pain as it reduces neuropathic pain too.

Since has been found to have  antioxidant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, people apply Aloe vera gel for muscle pain directly to relieve back pain when it is due to muscle injury or inflammation. 

Please remember that Aloe Vera gel  cannot be taken orally in large quantities has it may be toxic to some body organs like kidney and liver. I just licked a bit with the tip of my tongue - it's not even sweet. 

It is much better to consult your doctor or healthcare professionals on serious pains - the aim of this write-up is to enlighten people on simple home remedies that can allow your body function well.
