Constipation

Aloe Vera Arborescens can help relieve constipation — but with caution.


How it works:

Aloe Vera Arborescens contains anthraquinones (such as aloin), which have a natural laxative effect.

  • These compounds stimulate intestinal peristalsis (the movements of the gut)

  • Increase fluid secretion in the intestines, which helps ease bowel movements


Traditional uses:

  • Used in natural medicine, especially as juice or extract, to relieve occasional constipation

  • Also present in homemade formulas with honey and alcohol, such as the recipe by Father Romano Zago


Precautions and Warnings:

Risk Details
Strong effect May cause cramps or diarrhea if taken in high doses
Short-term use only Should be used for only a few days at a time
Contraindications Not recommended for pregnant/breastfeeding women, children, or people with intestinal diseases (like colitis or IBS)
Drug interactions May interact with diuretics, cardiac medications (e.g. digoxin), and other laxatives

Recommendations for Use:

  • If you'd like to try Aloe Vera Arborescens for constipation:

    • Start with small amounts — e.g., 1 teaspoon of diluted juice on an empty stomach

    • Monitor your body's response

    • Do not use chronically — if constipation is frequent, it's best to consult a doctor or nutritionist to find the underlying cause
