The aloe gel works on an internal level in the treatment of peptic ulcers (related to digestion) and of the irritable bowel syndrome. This syndrome explains nearly half of all gastroenterology appointments and is to a large extent caused by the poor intake of vegetable fibres that caracterises western diet as well as by psychosomatic factors.
Together with Borututu, an excellent organic drainer (which re-establishes liver and kidney functions), this product aims at taking advantage of the characteristics of each of the plants that constitute it, but also of their synergic energy, which enhances its effects, thus widening its range of action:
- Peptic ulcers (a),
- Irritable bowel syndrome,
- Constipation (it is not a laxative),
- Hepatic disorders:
- Poor functioning of the gallbladder
- Fatty liver syndrome
- High cholesterol
* - Disorders in the functioning of the kidneys.
(a) Peptic - relating to pepsin (the main enzyme in the constitution of gastric juice)
About irritable bowel syndrome
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or spastic colon, is a functional bowel disorder characterized by abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits which are not associated with any abnormalities seen on routine clinical testing. It is fairly common and makes up 20–50% of visits to gastroenterologists. Lower abdominal pain, and bloating associated with alteration of bowel habits and abdominal discomfort relieved with defecation are the most frequent symptoms. The abdominal pain type is usually described in a patient as either diarrhea-predominant (IBS-D), constipation-predominant (IBS-C) or IBS with alternating stool pattern (IBS-A). In some individuals, IBS may have an acute onset and develop after an infectious illness characterised by two or more of the following: fever, vomiting, acute diarrhea, positive stool culture. This post-infective syndrome has consequently been termed "post-infectious IBS" (IBS-PI) and is acute onset Rome II criteria positive. This condition is more homogenous, being mostly IBS-D and is drawing much clinical investigation.
Chronic functional abdominal pain (CFAP) is quite similar to, but less common than IBS. CFAP can be diagnosed if there is no change in bowel habits.
Because of the name, IBS can be confused with inflammatory bowel disease
