Nopalea Juice, made from the prickly pear cactus, is an all-natural way to fight inflammation, joint pain, and everything ranging from hangovers to acne.

For thousands of years natives of the Sonoran desert have been using the prickly pear cactus for both its medicinal properties and its use as a food. People eat the pads of the cactus just like they would any other vegetable.

People grill it, boil it, bake it, and use it as a filling like they would meat, but also as a side dish much like a vegetable. It is used inside tacos and alongside eggs.

Since the time of the Aztecs, people have loved the prickly pear cactus. Now that the cactus is used to make Nopalea Juice, the popularity of the plant has skyrocketed.

New testimonials appear every day from people who claim that a regular regimen of drinking the juice has cured headaches and neck pain caused by swollen joints. It has been lauded for its ability to squash migraines and other sinus headaches. It has eliminated swelling and pain in hands, elbows, knees, shoulders, and finger joints.

People are rapidly replacing prescription painkillers with a dose of this all-natural healthy juice chock full of many vitamins and minerals, such as the b vitamins and potassium.

People who have never been able to sustain an exercise program because of painful swelling of the joints, say they can now get in shape and/or lose weight because they started drinking Nopalea Juice.

Men and women who have been suffering for years from lower back pain claim that they have found relief in something as simple as drinking the juice as part of their daily food and fluid intake.

Others with high blood sugar who have only found some relief from prescription drugs are finding help by drinking the juice.

Men and women who have suffered for years with chronic pain such as people who suffer from fibromyalgia have touted the benefits of drinking this juice. In addition, those who suffer from seasonal allergies have found their symptoms alleviated by this juice.

It is no surprise that the popularity of Nopalea Juice is quickly spreading around the world. It is just a surprise that the benefits of the prickly pear cactus have taken so long to hear about.

It is thought that native Spaniards exploring Central America first came across the plant and immediately recognizing its value, brought cuttings back to their native lands.

It is believed that the cactus now grows in various climates and countries around the world.

It reached a certain level of fame when renowned health expert, Dr. Oz, proclaimed the plant one of the seven natural wonders of the world on his television show. He has talked about the plants benefits in helping people with diabetes. He did a demonstration showing just how the high fibrous nature of the plant filtered the sugar and regulated the blood sugar levels. He also has mentioned the plant’s ability to fight the symptoms of a hangover.

It remains to be seen all the positive effects the prickly pear cactus will have on our body.
