How Aloe works!

Aloe vera plant produces at least 6 antiseptic agents: Lupeol, Salicylic acid, Urea Nitrogen, Cinnamonic acid, Phenols, and Sulphur .Aloe vera drink provides relief to the people suffering from some impair digestion and stomach problems occurred due to smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, poor eating habits and due to stress. The aloe plant contains various substances which are beneficial and includes amino acids, minerals, vitamins and enzymes.
The main uses of aloe vera are, it provides energy and helps in supporting immune function, skin regeneration and digestion.

All of these substances are recognized as antiseptics because they kill or control mold, bacteria, fungus, and viruses. The plant has the ability to eliminate many internal and external infections.

The Lupeol and salicylic acid in the juice explains why it is a very effective pain-killer.
Aloe vera contains at least three anti-inflammatory fatty acids: cholesterol, Campesterol and B-sitosterol (plant sterols).This is highly effective treatment for burns, cuts, scrapes, abrasions, allergic reactions, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, acid indigestion, ulcers, plus many inflammatory conditions of the digestive system and other internal organs, including the stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, kidney, and pancreas.
B-sitosterol is another powerful anti-cholestromatic which helps to lower harmful cholesterol levels,and has many advantages and benefits for heart patients. If we add that aloe contains at least 23 polypeptids (immune stimulators), then we can understand why aloe juice helps control a broad spectrum of immune system diseases and disorders, includingHIV and AIDS.

The possible benefits from the use of aloe vera gel and juice include:
1. Helps sooth skin injured by burns, irritations, cuts and insect bites.
2. Helps to moisturize and soften the skin.
3. Helps to speed the healing of skin wounds, burns and other injuries.
4. Help (when taken internally)with constipation, diarrhea and other intestinal problems.
5. Speeds and improves the general healing when taken internally.
6.Relieves from itching and swelling of irritated skin.
7.Helps in killing fungus and bacteria.
8. Improve the effectiveness of sun screen products.

The polypeptids, plus the anti-tumor agents aloe emodin and aloe lectins, explains its ability to control cancer. If the SYNERGISTIC RELATIONSHIP between the elements found in the sap, gel, and throughout the entire plant does not explain why whole leaf aloe works, then NOTHING DOES!
All of which explains why "Across Time" lay persons and physicians a like, have proclaimed that aloe has the ability to heal, alleviate, eliminate, or even cure a monumental list of human diseases and disorders.
Therefore, it truly deserves the name, "MEDICINAL PLANT".
