Aloe Vera Benefits

The Aloe Vera Plant

Aloe vera is a lily found in the desert and has been valued by many cultures for thousands of years. Cleopatra knew of its value for maintaining her beautiful skin. Aloe vera contains over 160 valuable ingredients, including vitamin A, C, E and B complex, enzymes,minerals, trace elements, plant protein and essential fatty acids.

Aloe vera juice has been used to treat many human ailments for about four thousand years.  It contains over two hundred ingredients, and seems to affect large number of biomedical actions within the your body.  Research has shown that Aloe vera may be one of the most important treatments used to fight disease.

The Aloe vera plant contains at least six antiseptic agents: lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamic acid, phenol, and sulphur.  These substances are all known antiseptics, explaining why Aloe has the ability to eliminate many internal and external infections.  Aloe is also a very effective pain killer because it contains lupeol, salicylic acid, and magnesium - all highly effective analgesics (pain killers).

Aloe vera  contains at least three anti-inflammatory acids: cholesterol, campesterol, and B-sitosterol. This helps to explain why Aloe is an effective treatment for burns, cuts, scrapes, and abrasions, as well as rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, and all kinds of ulcers - both internal and external.  The presence of these fatty acids may also help explain why some experts feel aloe is highly effective for many inflammatory conditions of the digestive system and other internal organs such as the small intestine, pancreas, liver, kidney, colon and stomach.  These fatty acids - particularily B-sitosterol, may explain how aloe juice is an effective treatment for allergic reactions and acid indigestion, and why, when used with a low fat diet, helps to lower harmful cholesterol levels.

If the synergistic relationship between the many elements found in this plant , then nothing does.  This synergistic relationship, helps explains why  through the ages many lay persons and physicians have stated that aloe vera has the ability to heal, alleviate, eliminate a large list of human diseases and disorders, and therefore truly deserving the name  "medicine plant."

Aloe vera should not be looked at as a miracle cure for disease.  We must remember however, that exercise, a proper diet, ( including mostly fruit, vegetables, and grain), plenty of pure water, and a healthy lifestyle as well, are all important in your being healthy and happy.  Remember this, only a functional and healthy immune system cures the body.
