Chlorophyll is sometimes referred to as Nature’s Green Magic. It’s also known as the blood of plant life, because it is the life force of plants. Chlorophyll contains many nutrients which are assimulated by the human body easily. In fact, the molecular structure of Chlorophyll is quite similar to the molecular structure of human hemoglobin – our red blood cells.

Chlorophyll has an extremely long list of uses. It can be used for simple nutrition and digestion, to cleanse and heal, to purify the body’s organs, and to create healthy intestines.

Here are a few examples of Chlorophyll’s power…

– It helps control and regulate calcium levels in the body. This is particularly useful for menstruating women, because up to 40% more calcium is present in menstrual blood, and you could become calcium deficient very quickly during your period.

– Chlorophyll helps with blood sugar problems, regulating blood sugar levels in your body which is good for general health and wellness, and could help with weight loss initiatives.

– Chlorophyll increases iron levels in your blood, which is especially useful for pregnant or nursing women.

– Excellent as a general cleanser or for use in a cleansing diet. The Chlorophyll fluids are said to clean cell stuctures and help build new cell life.

– Bacterias that cause diseases find it hard to live in the presence of Chlorophyll, so growth and development of toxic bacterias can be inhibited or stopped.

– Chlorophyll counteracts toxins and inhibits the actions of cancer causing elements.

– It helps purify the liver to get rid of toxic deposits built up from drug usage, chemicals in foods, artificial flavorings and other potentially harmful things from our daily lives that get stored there.

– It accellerates tissue and cell growth or re-growth activity which helps the body heal faster.

– It helps get your bowels moving, and acts as a detergent and deoderizer for your intestines, bowel and body.

– It helps kill toxic and disease causing bacteria in your colon, helps rebuild damaged bowel tissue and helps eliminate mucus from the bowel too.

– It helps reduce and eliminate bad breath.

Again this is just a small sampling of all the wonderful qualities and health benefits this herb provides.

I’ve personally used Chlorophyll for years as a general daily vitamin. I first began taking it during menstruation only, because it’s so high in calcium and I sometimes became anemic during that time.

I’ve also used it over the years for constipation relief. Taking one gel capsule with the powdered herb inside tends to resolve the constipation problems within just a few hours.

And when dieting – particularly with a very low carb diet – Chlorophyll works wonderfully for getting rid of bad breath and body odors.

Aloe Very is possible the most popular and well known herbs in today’s society. It grows as a large, cactus-like plant – in fact many people think it actually is a cactus, when in fact it’s actually part of the lili family’s succulent “aloes”.

Most people already know that aloe vera is wonderful for pain, particularly the kind you get from burns. Whether cooking burns or sun burns, aloe is often used to take away the pain. It’s known as a contact healer though, because it not only takes away the pain, it stimulates healing on the affected area as well.

Aloe can be used for sore nipples by nursing mothers, and the juice can be used as an eye drop too. Used as such, it can help improve the eye’s circulation and sight.

Another little known use of aloe vera is to relieve itching from chicken pox, poison ivy, and poison oak. And drinking aloe vera juice for several days can expel pinworms too.

Aloe vera is wonderful for many kinds of skin problems too. Since it helps remove dead skin and promotes the growth of healthy living cells, it not only helps wounds and burns heal faster but it can help your skin improve in general too.

Because it has such great results for both skin and hair care, it’s common to find aloe vera in many types of beauty and cosmetic products. One of the reasons aloe vera is so useful as a healing herb though, is because it can penetrate all three layers of your skin. This can create wonderful results when aloe vera is used with other all natural ingredients that won’t harm your body.

Unfortunately aloe vera is often mixed with harmful chemicals, colorings and additives that can be harmful to your body. And since the aloe vera penetrates your skin so well, it helps carry those toxins deeper into your body as well.

This is one of the reasons aloe vera suntan lotions tend to sting. These popular products often contain alcohol and perfumes added to the aloe vera, so when you apply them to a sunburn, the pain isn’t often taken away as you’d expect. Instead it stings or hurts when it goes on, then it doesn’t really feel any better later. It also doesn’t seem to heal as fast as you’d expect it to.

Using pure, 100% aloe vera juice or gel however, almost always relieves the pain as soon as you put it on, and the healing happens much faster too.

So be sure to read product labels, and understand what you might be putting into your body when buying aloe vera products. My recommendation would be to stick with 100% natural and pure if at all possible.
