Aloe vera is one of the most used medicinal plants in the world because of its many health benefits. It is normally used topically with cosmetic intentions or for treating skin conditions, but the medicinal plants can also be ingested to treat other conditions. Aloe vera juice has thus become a very popular alternative supplement, but before drinking it, it's important to know its properties and contraindications. In this OneHowTo article, we explain the benefits of aloe vera juice, and in which cases it is not advisable to drink it.

While the aloe vera plant used topically does not usually produce side effects, the case of aloe vera juice is quite different. This drink should not be consumed under certain conditions due to its high laxative effects that could cause diarrhoea and vomiting.

Aloe Vera juice is not recommended for:

  • Pregnant woman, as it may stimulate the production of contractions.
  • Breastfeeding women, as it can cause vomiting and diarrhea in the baby.
  • Patients with irritable bowel syndrome, colitis and Crohn's disease should not orally ingest this plant either as it may increase irritation and intestinal discomfort.
  • If you take steroids you should avoid it because it would increase the reduction of potassium levels.
  • Patients with liver or gallbladder problems should not consume this drink either.

You are advised to stop drinking aloe vera juice if you feel some side effects after having it, such as stomach pain, diarrhoea, nausea or vomiting.

Excessive consumption of aloe vera juice can cause gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhoea, vomiting or abdominal pain. For this reason, you are advised to drink a maximum of 2 glasses a day, and never consume this drink for more than 7 days in a row. Breaks in taking it are necessary to avoid the discomfort caused by its laxative effects.

Due to its laxative capacity, one of the benefits of aloe vera juice is the treatment of constipation by improving intestinal transit and encouraging its regularization. This juice is also great for cleansing the colon and reducing inflammation.

These properties mean that drinking this juice is associated with weight loss because those who drink it feel that it reduces inflammation of the abdominal area.
