Aloe vera, according to those in the know about herbal remedies, is good for healing a great many things, both external and internal. The Nutrition Naturally Blog extols the use of aloe vera in the treatment of ulcerative colitis:
The beneficial health property of aloe vera gel, especially the anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, makes it a good ulcerative colitis treatment when taken internally.

Aloe vera has a growing group of avid fans. In fact, it even has its very own blog, and the information there agrees with that from the Nutrition Naturally Blog. The Aloe Vera Blog has this to say:
My sister had suffered from IBS for years before trying an Aloe Vera nutritional supplement to help with her digestive health and seems to have benefited from it.

As you rightly say, drinking aloe vera can be great for ulcerative colitis because of it’s anti-inflammatory properties. But as aloe is an immunomodulator, it is very beneficial with other disorders of the immune system too.

Ulcerative Colitis is a universal disease. And, a man, I can attest to the painful fact that it hits us men as much as women. I’m glad to see that this blog helps people to understand the benefits of aloe vera juice for those who suffer from Ulcerative Colitis. (Also great for IBS) – David
