How is aloe with honey good for the stomach?

Agave and honey will help improve appetite and normalize digestion. Traditional healers offer many recipes for preparing medicinal mixtures from these ingredients. We will introduce you to some of them below.

Pass agave leaves (30 g) through a meat grinder and add a tablespoon of honey (tablespoon) to the resulting mixture. In this case, you should not separate the juice from the pulp. Take the product with a glass of water. Take a teaspoon of the composition every day. This product stimulates the digestion process.

Main ingredients and their beneficial properties

Homemade medicine includes three products: aloe, honey, Cahors. Each of them in itself has a positive effect on the human body and treats many diseases. Together they enhance each other's healing properties.

• Honey. Any variety will do, preferably light varieties (not buckwheat). It doesn't have to be liquid or fresh. Candied will also work. The product, carefully created by bees, contains more than 300 valuable components. Despite its sweetness, it contains practically no sucrose (sugar), but a lot of fructose and glucose. Due to this, diabetics are allowed to eat it. Honey contains 7 vitamins, enzymes, organic acids, 37 minerals, including potassium, iodine and even gold. The product has pronounced antibacterial properties. It is not surprising that honey is the first remedy for flu and colds. It relieves pain in grief, saves from coughing. Bee products are used for medicinal purposes to strengthen the immune system.
• Aloe. You can use leaves or juice, store-bought or homemade. Agave is in no way inferior to honey in terms of the range of valuable components: more than 250 substances provide its beneficial properties. Aloe leaves contain vitamins and minerals, amino acids, essential oils and polysaccharides. The juice from them promotes cell regeneration, strengthens the immune system, destroys viruses and pathogenic bacteria, and heals wounds.
• Cahors. Church wine can be ordinary (without aging) and vintage (aged in oak barrels). Aged Cahors is more expensive and tastes better, but this is not so important for medicinal tinctures. The medicinal properties of red wine, consumed in reasonable quantities, are beyond doubt. Cahors helps stabilize blood pressure and increase hemoglobin levels. Phenolic substances in dark grapes prevent heart attacks and the development of cardiovascular diseases, strengthen the walls of arteries, and cleanse them of cholesterol plaques. Red wine removes heavy metals and even radionuclides from the body. Centenarians who live to be 100 years or more do not deny themselves a glass of wine.

Only in some cases is alcohol added.

How to choose honey?

Only real, natural honey is suitable for medicinal purposes. Its artificial analogues are sold in stores, but do not provide any benefit to the body.

Fresh honey is always liquid during the period of its collection, it will remain so for a couple of months after summer, and then it will begin to actively crystallize, this is its natural feature. Only acacia honey is not candied all year round. Some tips for buying honey:

• You shouldn’t take candied honey in the summer, it’s last year’s honey. Although the product has a shelf life of 2 years, it is better to look for a fresh one.
• Too dark, uncharacteristic color is a sign that the product has been overheated. There is nothing healthy left in it, and it tastes like burnt sugar. If liquid and dark, almost black linden honey or herbs are sold in winter, this is a spoiled product.
• Real honey tastes sweet and has a slight tug on the throat; it should have floral notes.
• It is better to choose a product sold in glass rather than plastic.

Liquid or candied honey - both of them are equally useful and are suitable for making tincture.

How to choose a Cahors?

Cahors is a red fortified wine; in addition to fermented grape juice, alcohol must be added to it. This dessert wine with a lot of sugar is made from dark grapes, mixing varieties to make the drink rich in color and taste.

Ordinary Cahors (without aging) contains about 16 g/100 ml of sugar, vintage - 18-22 g/100 ml of sugar. The strength of both varieties is 16%. A few simple tips on how to choose Cahors:

1. A higher quality product is sold in glass, the bottle is transparent or green, but always with a label and excise stamp.
2. There should be no sediment at the bottom. This is a sign of spoilage in the wine. It is difficult to determine transparency in such a rich product, but visible turbidity or any inclusions in the wine are not allowed.
3. If you pour Cahors into a glass or glass and turn it a little, it will flow slowly from the walls. The wine is rich and a little thick, it forms “tears” on the glass, but this can only be checked at home.

You need to buy the product in large supermarkets or specialized stores; they directly enter into contracts with manufacturers. It is better not to order alcohol on the Internet.

What can replace Cahors?

It is not necessary to use only Cahors. Instead, you can take another fortified dessert wine, for example, red Muscat. For people with high stomach acidity, it is better to completely replace Cahors with stronger alcohol: vodka, cognac.

Where can I get aloe juice?

You can make aloe juice yourself or buy it. The main thing is to choose one that is intended for internal use, and not for cosmetic purposes. In pharmacies it comes in 50 ml bottles with added alcohol or in ampoules, but they are only 1 ml.

On the Internet it is easy to find juice or juice with pulp in 0.5 liter containers.

It is better to make a product of guaranteed quality yourself. To get aloe juice at home, you need to activate the beneficial substances of the plant:

1. Cut off the leaves before watering the succulent, so the concentration of beneficial components in them will be greater.
2. Rinse them from dust and blot with a paper napkin.
3. Wrap in paper (parchment, cloth).
4. Keep in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
5. Cut the leaves, squeeze out the juice through a bandage./>

The juice must be prepared before mixing the tincture; when fresh, it can be stored for no more than 2 days in the refrigerator.
