Aloe Vera Nature’s Miracle
Aloe Vera, the “lily of the desert”, has been used for centuries as a natural cure-all for ailments inside and outside of the body. It was first given its name Aloe Vera by noted Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus (Carl von Linné) in 1720.
It is a member of the lily family and most experts believe it originated in Africa before mankind spread it throughout the world. It is a succulent semi tropical plant with thick fleshy lance shaped leaves that have serrate edges.
Aloe thrives best in arid desert like conditions but it grows well in any climate provided the temperature remains above freezing. Since it is a hardy plant with interesting flowers and medicinal qualities, it is a very popular ornamental plant, earning a place in many people’s kitchen windows and gardens. It is also cultivated on a large scale in order to supply the burgeoning cosmetic and natural health care industries which utilise the plant’s natural healing qualities in a wide variety of creams, gels, drinks, balms, sprays and lotions.
Aloe Vera has long been regarded for its remarkable cleansing properties. The ancient Sumerians used the latex resin of the plant as a bodily cleanser and people today use the fibre rich gel for the same purpose. When ingested the gel works on your intestinal wall helping repair the damaged cell tissues as well as push out many of the built up toxins that form over years. Using Aloe gel as a natural colon cleanser is as effective as getting an enema and far less complicated.
The ancient Egyptians also reportedly used it in the embalming process as well as a skin care product. The Chinese have been using it for over a thousand years to treat everything from sinuses to skin diseases.
Aloe first came to the attention of the Europeans during the height of the Roman era. Dioscorides, the Greek master of pharmacology, was one of the first Westerners to describe it in detail and list its numerous benefits as a laxative and a soothing balm for bruises. It became a mainstay as a healing balm and purgative during the middle ages aided by an obscure passage in the New Testament (“And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.” – John: 19-39). Upon discovery of the New World, Aloe found its way to South America through Spanish missionaries who planted it their gardens.
The onset of the industrial revolution and the subsequent arrival of synthesized chemical remedies diminished Aloe Vera’s role as a medicinal plant. While it was still employed as a home remedy by many, the scientific community downplayed its medicinal importance.
During the mid twentieth century, Aloe experienced a revival of sorts as people once again began to favour traditional health remedies to assist with various conditions and ailments. The medical community also began to re-examine the plant and a plethora of medical reports were released citing Aloe Vera’s ability to heal everything from periodontal disease to hair loss.
Aloe Vera Benefits and Uses
While the medical community still maintains strict neutrality on Aloe Vera’s potential as a medical cure-all, the cosmetic and natural health industry is convinced of the little green plant’s benefits. Aloe Vera juice, gel and additives are sold in health food stores around the world and many cosmetic products list Aloe as a contributing ingredient. As a plant, Aloe Vera remains extremely popular and can be found in most garden centres.
Many people keep an Aloe plant in their kitchen to help sooth burns, cuts and scrapes. For minor burns the inner gel of the Aloe leaf works as a wonderful soothing balm. Besides containing salicylic acid, which acts a soothing agent, the Aloe gel also has properties that help protect and heal damaged skin. This benefit of the Aloe gel alone is probably enough to keep the plant around the home.
In addition to soothing skin and aiding in repairing the digestive system studies have found Aloe beneficial in boosting the immune systems of patients suffering from cancer and Aids. It has also been linked to helping with foot fungus and preventing hair loss. While many of these benefits have yet to proven scientifically, it is clear we have just begun to scratch the surface on everything this plant is capable of.
Health conscious people find supplementing their diets with natural Aloe Vera gel very beneficial. The inner gel of the Aloe Vera plant is rich in vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that help promote a healthy immune system and may possibly repair damaged cells.
People who take Aloe on a regular basis point to the high amount of mucilaginous polysaccharides found within the plant as a good supplement to their diet. Mucilaginous polysaccharides are long chain sugar compounds that our cells utilize to help repair themselves. We stop making these sugars after adolescence and depend upon outside sources to aid in damaged cell repair.
We are discovering new ways to utilize the plant everyday and Aloe Vera has become the de-facto additive in many natural skin care products and herbal remedies. Aloe Vera gel and Aloe Vera juice is prepared, packaged and sold at most natural food stores and the business of Aloe has boomed as people continue to look for natural ways to take care of themselves. While buying the gel and juice from a store is a good option, many experienced Aloe users suggest you grow the plant yourself in order to know exactly what you are putting into your body.
