Nature's Synergistic Marvel
Aloe Vera is often called Nature's Miracle Plant - but that's hardly an exaggeration, given the remarkable healing properties of the gel from its succulent leaves.
Traditional healers from many cultures have known of Aloe Vera for centuries and continue to use it for relief for a wide variety of ailments - from burns to headaches.
Historical documents record its usage by Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Algerians, Moroccans, Tunisians, Arabians, Indians and Chinese. The earliest written reference to its almost magical curative power is in the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus, dating from 1500 B.C.
Today Aloe Vera is widely used across the world, from Mexico to Malaysia and has been subjected to extensive testing by Russian medical researchers.
Drinking Aloe Vera is excellent for all internal uses. The tonic is believed to purify the blood, remove toxins from the body and help boost the immune system. It can also be used to soak bandages and dressings.
Articles have been written pertaining to the help that Aloe Vera has provided for a number of ailments.
For over 2000 years Aloe Vera has been known as 'the medicine plant'.
It was known to the ancient Egyptians and the Greeks. Alexander the Great's soldiers used the Aloe Vera to relieve skin discomforts during campaigns in heavy armour.
The United States Government became interested in Aloe Vera gel when they learned that the Japanese, exposed to A-bomb radiation who used the gel, were cured more rapidly than others.
Since then, reports in Medical Journals have shown the application of Aloe Vera gel can assist in the treatment of ulcerated conditions eczema, poison ivy and burns.
Hundreds of scientific papers have been written describing the activities of Aloe Vera juice when taken internally and gel when applied externally to skin and hair. Certain characteristics of Aloe Vera are described.
- It is a natural cleanser.
- It penetrates tissue.
- It anaesthetises the tissue in the area to which it is applied, relieving pain deep beneath the surface, including pain associated with joints and sore muscles.
- It is bactericidal when it is maintained in high concentration for several hours in direct contact with infectious bacteria. It does not act as a strong antibiotic which may destroy bacteria although highly diluted.
- It is viruscidal when in direct contact in high concentration for long periods of time.
- It is fungicidal under the same conditions.
- It reduces bleeding time.
- It is antipyretic - reduces the fever or heat of sores.
- It is anti-inflammatory. Its action is similar to that of a steroid.
- It is antipruritic -stops itching.
- It 1s nutritional, providing a wide range of vitamins, minerals and sugars.
- It dilates capillaries, increasing blood supply in the area to which it is applied.
- It breaks down and digests dead tissue including pus through the action of proteolytic enzymes hastening the degenerative phase of healing.
- Itenhances normal cell proliferation (epithelisation hastening the regenerative phase of healing).
- It moisturises the tissue to which it is applied.
- Safety: Each property described above can be reproduced by one or more drugs but such drugs must usually be taken by prescription with caution and only in very limited dosage. Aloe Vera gel on the other hand produces these effects when it is in high concentration and in direct contact with the tissue but, unlike most drugs, is extremely safe.
