The origin of Aloe Vera, also known as Medicinal Aloe, is associated with Northern Africa, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde. It is a species of succulent plants that grow and rather thrive in arid climates. Aloe Vera extracts have been found useful in treating open wounds, skin burns, diabetes and elevated levels of blood lipids in humans. The presence of polysaccharide, mannan, anthraquinone and lectin compounds is attributed to the positive effects Aloe Vera has on the body.
Aloe Vera is a stem less succulent plant that can grow up to a height of sixty to one hundred centimeters with thick and fleshy leaves that are green to grey-green in color. Some varieties of this herb show white flecks on the upper and lower stem surfaces. The serrated leaf margins have prominent yet small white teeth that are essential for water preservation due to the harsh environment they thrive in.
When you cut an Aloe Vera leave, two different fluids are exuded. Both these fluids have different effects and properties.
1. The irritant: This fluid is the yellow/green sap that predominantly exudes through cuts in the green surface of the leaf. It consists of the latex like compound, aloin.
2. The healer: The other transparent fluid that emanates from the inner parts of the leaf wherever it is crushed or cut, is the paste that is soothing on the skin and promotes healing various burns and wounds.
In addition to that orally consuming this second fluid is not harmful to the body at all because it is this paste like substance that commercial industries utilize to produce edible products like Aloe yogurt, juices, beverages and a few desserts. It is also used for beauty products like skin creams, moisturizers, lotions and the like. In regard to the commercial beauty products, we can also look at the medicinal uses of Aloe Vera.
Consumption of Aloe Vera juice is recommended for people facing the irritating problems of heartburn and the Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It is now common for Aloe to be one of the mixed ingredients in decent proportion to cosmetic products such as make up, tissues, moisturizers, soaps, sunscreens, incense, razors and shampoos. Some other beneficial uses of Aloe Vera include the dilution of semen for the purpose of artificially fertilizing sheep, adding as food items as fresh food preservative and conserving water in small farms.
Aloe Vera has antibacterial and antifungal activities properties that effectively provide inhibition against the growth of tinea causing fungi. In regard to its antifungal properties people are known to have been using it as a fish tank water conditioner.
Aloe Vera supplementary products come in a number of categories as explained earlier. One of the biggest advantages of this herbal extract is that it works externally on the skin and it has many uses such as helping the skin get better either from a wound, injury or just help it look better and glow. In addition to that orally consuming it is very beneficial for the body.
