Benefits of Aloe Vera
The succulent leaf of the Aloe Vera plant is one of nature’s most wonderful gifts. Recognized throughout history for a multitude of uses, the plant’s fullest capacities are only just now being widely developed for today’s health-conscious consumer.
Research shows that Aloe Vera has properties that are antibacterial, antifungal, antibiotic, analgesic, anesthetic, antiseptic, anti-viral, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory.
Aloe has a great penetrating ability and is easily absorbed through all layers of tissue. This makes it effective for collagen production, tissue regeneration, and wound healing including minor skin irritations, acne, burns, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, dandruff, lichens sclerosis, vulvodynia, and other conditions.
Desert Harvest Super-Strength Aloe Vera has been shown in clinical trials to effectively reduce bladder pain, urinary frequency, urgency, and urethral burning that are a part of many bladder disorders, but especially Interstitial Cystitis / Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) and non-bacterial prostatitis.
Aloe Vera contains acemannan, which is a polysaccharide chain of mannose molecules. Preliminary clinical trials in Europe show that mannose may also help treat or prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Research suggests mannose stops certain bacteria from sticking to the bladder walls. Scientists believe that the bacteria stick to the sugar instead. This helps the bacteria leave the body through urine. Fewer bacteria in the bladder lowers the risk of urinary tract infection.
The Aloe Vera plant is effective in these ways:
Anesthetic: barbalois, isobarbaloin, bradykinase, lupeol, salicylic acid, and magnesium.
Anti-inflammatory: polysaccharides and fatty acids: acemannan, campesterol, b-sitosterol, and other plant sterols.
Antiseptic: lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamic acid, phenols, and sulfur. Antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral benefits.
Cell Growth Stimulator: Aloe stimulates the birth of new, healthy tissue up to eight times the normal rate, as proven by independent research. Breaks down and digests dead tissue, including pus (acne), enhances normal cell proliferation, hastens to heal, is an antipruritic (stops itching), and moisturizes tissues.
Cleansing Antioxidant: Aloe detoxifies and normalizes your metabolism
Deep Penetrating: Aloe has the ability to reach the deepest tissue layers, as deep as seven layers. Most lotions, liquid substances, and water will penetrate only two layers of skin. Dilates capillaries and increases circulation.
