As a kind of medicine with cold and bitter taste, aloe has the effect of purging liver and cooling liver. Although many people find that aloe vera is effective in treating constipation, it should be noted that aloe vera is more effective in treating constipation caused by heat accumulation (that is, getting angry), while constipation caused by intestinal dryness (that is, habitual constipation) will only hurt body fluids more and more, thus aggravating the degree of constipation. Therefore, patients with heat constipation can eat aloe to relieve constipation, but for constipation caused by other reasons, aloe is not suitable for treatment because of dialectical analysis.

In addition, constipation can not take aloe vera for a long time. Chinese medicine experts pointed out that aloe contains an anthraquinone substance, which is an irritating laxative. If eaten for a long time, it is easy to produce dependence and even lead to melanosis of the large intestine. For some consumers who want to treat constipation by eating aloe, if they eat a lot, they may even aggravate the symptoms of constipation.

Experts said that the results of pharmaceutical research show that aloe vera does have the function of clearing away heat and toxic materials, especially in beauty and other aspects. But aloe is a bitter and cold medicine. People with different constitutions will have different effects when using aloe. For example, people with weak constitution or allergic constitution should use it with caution, and pregnant women should ban aloe vera to treat constipation.
