Why
Aloe Vera Works
Aloe
vera works because the plant produces at least six antiseptic
agents: lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamic
acid, phenol, and sulfur. All of these substances are
recognized as antiseptics, because together they exhibit antimicrobial
activity. This explains why Aloe has the ability to eliminate
many internal and external infections. Lupeol, salicylic acid,
and magnesium are also highly effective analgesics, and this
explains why Aloe is an effective painkiller.
Aloe vera
contains at least three anti-inflammatory fatty acids (cholesterol,
campesterol, and B-sitosterol, all of which are plant sterols).
This explains why Aloe is such an effective treatment for
burns, cuts, scrapes, and abrasions, as well as a treatment
for rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, and ulcers of all
kinds, both internal and external. The presence of fatty acids
may explain why some have stated that Aloe is highly effective
for many inflammatory conditions of the digestive system and
many other internal organs, including the stomach, small intestine,
colon, liver, kidney, and pancreas. The presence of any one
of these fatty acids, especially B-sitosterol, explains why
it is often reported that Aloe juice is an effective treatment
of allergic reactions and acid indigestion, and why it helps,
in association with a low fat diet, to lower harmful cholesterol
levels.
If the
SYNERGISTIC RELATIONSHIP between
the elements found in the plant's sap, its gel, and throughout
the entire plant does not explain why Aloe works, then
NOTHING DOES! All of which explains why for ages
lay persons and physicians alike have proclaimed that Aloe
vera has the ability to heal, alleviate, eliminate, or even
cure a monumental list of human diseases and disorders, and
therefore truly deserves the name "Medicine Plant".
