The properties it contains are ones that cleanse the body and remove unwanted toxins and waste from it. However, there have been no clinical studies carried out which show what long term benefits Aloe Vera has to offer in relation to weight loss.

Dandelion – This works as a natural diuretic and so helps to release water that the body is retaining.
