 What is Aloe Vera?

Often called the ‘Miracle Plant’ or the ‘Natural Healer’, Aloe Vera is a plant of many surprises. It flourishes in warm and dry climates, and many people mistake it for a cactus, but in fact, it is a member of the Lily family. Ancient records show that the benefits of Aloe Vera have been known for centuries. Its therapeutic advantages and healing properties have survived more than 5,000 years. Today the reputation of this remarkable plant continues to grow. It is used by millions of people around the world for both external applications and internal use, many of which are documented in Magazines & Newspapers.

History of Aloe Vera

Aloe, native to Africa, is also known as “lily of the desert”, the “plant of immortality”, and the “medicine plant”. The name was derived from the Arabic alloeh meaning “bitter” because of the bitter liquid found in the leaves. In 1500 B.C. Egyptians recorded use of the herbal plant in treating burns, infections and parasites.

There are over 500 species of aloe growing in climates worldwide. Ancient Greeks, Arabs and Spaniards have used the plant throughout the millennia. African hunters still rub the gel on their bodies to reduce perspiration and their scent.

The first extensive research since the 1930’s showed that the clear gel has a dramatic ability to heal wounds, ulcers and burns by putting a protective coating on the affected areas and speeding up the healing rate.

How does it work?

Polysaccharides help boost the immune system, lubricate joints and line the colon. Aloe Vera is especially rich in Acemannan. Acemannan is currently being studied for its ability to strengthen the bodies’ immune system through stimulating the body’s macrophages to produce interferon and interleukin, which stop viruses multiplying. Macrophages are the deep cleansers of the immune system that can destroy small particles such as toxic chemicals and tumours.
Compounds called anthraquinones are partially responsible for the anti-inflammatory and anaesthetising effects of Aloe Vera. These properties also make Aloe Vera useful for topical treatments to alleviate swellings, stings, sprains and sunburn.

Aloe Vera gel cleanses and detoxifies the digestive system and this has an influence on other bodily organs and systems. It contains magnesium lactate which appears to lower stomach acidity thus reversing the effects of indigestion and heartburn.

In fact Aloe Vera is an “amphoteric” as it can treat opposite conditions by either raising or lowering levels of hydrochloric acid as required. Low hydrochloric acid levels are common and contribute to allergies. Aloe Vera gel is therefore very effective for people suffering from stomach ulcers as it coats the stomach lining.
Aloe Vera helps restore balance in the digestive system in several ways:
- it acts as an alkalising agent,
- it reduces yeast overgrowth that can destroy the normal “friendly” bacteria in the gut,
- it penetrates the walls of the digestive system to remove harmful bacteria.

By restoring balance to the digestive system, restoring the beneficial “friendly” bacteria and reducing inflammation, the body is better able to absorb nutrients. This can have a huge impact on a person’s overall well-being and help fight many disorders not directly connected with the digestive system. Aloe Vera gel raises energy levels and promotes a sense of well-being. Digestive system disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Acid Indigestion, Colitis and Candida all benefit from Aloe Vera gel.
