We believe staying healthy requires money but you need the right ingredients. Ayurveda uses organic herbs, plants, and spices that offer holistic solutions and are affordable. One such herb is aloe vera, or ghritkumari. Acharya Balkrishnaji, co-founder of Patanjali Ayurved, speaks about aloe vera and its usage. Also learn about Patanjali aloe vera products.
The Ayurvedic Importance of Aloe Vera or Ghritkumari
Aloe vera, or ghritkumari, is a vital invigorating herb in Ayurveda. It has soothing and cooling properties that calm the skin and treat burns, acne, and UV damage. It boosts moisture, refreshes the skin, provides glow, and repairs skin cells.
Consume aloe vera to address digestive issues like body heat, inflamed stomach lining, acidity, indigestion, and constipation. It improves digestion and immunity, promotes nutrient absorption, and helps with menstrual troubles. A
charya Balkrishnaji suggests, “The method for extracting the pulp from ghritkumari is extremely simple. First, trim the edges of the leaf; once the sides are cut away, you can easily slice through the middle with a knife — the flesh is very soft and tender — and scoop it out. If you have even 10 or 20 plants at home, you can break off a small piece to use daily without the rest of the leaf going to waste.”
Now learn the various ways to use aloe vera or ghritkumari for its benefits, along with the right Patanjali products.
