Vera (aloe barbadensis) has become one of the most recognized
herbs in modern times, yet its history is long and its usages wide
ranging. Its familiar shape of prickly-edged, fleshy leaves filled
with juice and gel appears on products ranging from cosmetics to
food products.
When Aloe Vera is mentioned, most people immediately relate its healing properties to burns. And yet, Aloe Vera is one of the most versatile plants on the face of the earth. The History of Aloe It is believed to have originated in the Cape Verde islands but by early historical records, it appeared in Egypt, Arabia, and India. Ancient Assyrians employed Aloe Vera as an internal drink. The beauty of Egyptian Queen Nefertiti was attributed to the use of aloe, while Egyptians, Chaldeans and Hebrews valued the juice of the aloe as a precious and holy medicine. In fact, in the Bible, aloe is mentioned 5 times; Numbers 24:6, John 19:39, Proverbs 7:17, Psalm 45:8 and Song of Solomon 4:13-14. The Nature of Aloe Few natural substances contain so many beneficial nutrients. Just some of them are polysaccharides, tannins, steroids, organic acids, magnesium lactate, anthraglycosides, resins, antibiotic principles, mannins, enzymes, protein, amino acids, "wound healing" hormones, biogenic stimulators, saponins, vitamins, trace elements, and minerals. Another constituent has been isolated from the gel of the aloe; it is a complex carbohydrate with both immune-stimulating and antiviral properties. This substance is a powerful protector and healer. Whole Leaf Aloe Is Best Tests have shown that the active ingredients of potentially greatest benefit are the largest molecules (polysaccharides), found in higher percentages in the whole leaf aloe. Most health practitioners are unaware that the sap and rind portions of the aloe leaf contain significant and extremely useful healing components, such as analgesics, anti-inflammatory compounds, minerals, and beneficial fatty acids. Aloe & Your Digestive System Recently Aloe Vera has undergone another surge of popularity because of its benefits to the digestive system. A number of studies have demonstrated that Aloe Vera, when consumed in juice form, has the ability to improve the function of the digestive system in a number for ways. Aloe Vera's effect on gastric pH levels has stimulated worldwide research into its usefulness in treating peptic ulcers. Some physicians have found that aloe relieves the symptoms of peptic ulcers because of its buffering, alkalizing activity. Japan currently imports more than $50 million of the "miracle plant" per year. It is used to treat people with ulcers and digestive problems. Aloe & The Immune System The current interest in Aloe Vera research is to determine its
value in improving nutrition for HIV positive and AIDS treatment.
Studies have shown that nutritional supplements, essential fatty
acid capsules, and Aloe Vera juice has caused remission,
regression, or a complete halt of the progression of the disease.
