What is Aloe Vera?
Often called the ‘Miracle Plant’ or the ‘Natural Healer’,
Aloe Vera is a plant of many surprises. It flourishes in warm and dry climates,
and many people mistake it for a cactus, but, in fact, it is a member of the
Lily family.
Ancient records show that the benefits of Aloe Vera have
been known for centuries. Its therapeutic advantages and healing properties
have survived more than 5,000 years.
Today the reputation of this remarkable plant continues to grow. It is used by
millions of people around the world for both external applications and internal
use, many of which are documented in Magazines & Newspapers.
What's in Aloe Vera ?
Studies have found that there are 75 ingredients contained
in the Aloe leaf. These ingredients have a variety of medical benefits. They
are divided into the following categories:
Ligin – This cellulose substance is found in the
gel has no known medical properties except it posses the property of
penetrating the human skin.
Saponins – These form soapy lathers when mixed and
agitated with water. They have been used in detergents, foaming agents and
contain antiseptic properties.
Anthraquinones – There are 12 of these contained in
the sap of Aloe Vera: Aloin, Isobarbaloin, Anthracene, Emodin, Ester of
Cinnamonic acid, Chrysophanic acid, Barbaloin, Anthranol, Aloetic acid, Aloe
Emodin, Ethereal oil and Resistannol.
These act as natural laxatives, painkillers and
analgesics, and they contain powerful antibacterial, antifungal and virucidal
properties.
Minerals – Aloe Vera contains the following
minerals:
- Calcium (essential for proper bone and teeth
density)
- Manganese (a component of enzymes necessary for
the activation of other enzymes)
- Sodium (ensures that the body fluids do not
become too acidic or too alkaline)
- Copper (enables iron to work as oxygen carriers
in the red blood cells)
- Magnesium (used by nerves and muscle membranes to
help conduct electrical impulses)
- Potassium (regulates the acidic or alkaline
levels of body fluid)
- Zinc (contributes to the metabolism of proteins,
carbohydrates and fats)
- Chromium (necessary for the proper function of
insulin, which in turn controls the sugar levels in the blood)
- Iron (controls the transportation of oxygen
around the body via the red blood cells)
Vitamins
– Aloe Vera
contains numerous vitamins:
- Vitamins
A, C, & E (crucial antioxidants that combat dangerous free radicals in
the body)
- Vitamin
B & Choline (concerned with the production of energy, amino acid
metabolism and developing muscle mass)
- Vitamin
B12 (responsible for the production of red blood cells)
- Folic
acid (helps develop new blood cells)
Amino
Acids – Amino
Acids are the building blocks of protein, which manufacture and repair
muscle tissue. The human body requires 22 amino acids and needs 8
essential ones. Aloe Vera provides 20 of 22 required amino acids and 7
of 8 essential ones.
Enzymes
– Some of the
most important enzymes in Aloe Vera are: Peroxidase, Aliiase, Catalase,
Lipase, Cellulase, Carboxypeptidase, Amylase and Alkaline Phosphatase.
Enzymes help to break down food and assist in digestion. Some enzymes help
break down fats while others break down starches and sugars.
Sugars
– Aloe Vera
contains both monosaccharides, such as glucose and fructose, and polysaccharides.
Polysaccharides are the most important types of sugars. They aid in proper
digestion, maintain cholesterol levels, improve liver functions and promote the
strengthening of bones.
Sterols
– Sterols are
important anti-inflammatory agents. The ones found in Aloe Vera are: Cholesterol,
Sitosterol, Campesterol and Lupeol. These sterols contain antiseptic and
analgesic properties. They also have pain killing properties similar to
aspirin.
As
Aloe Vera is comprised of approximately 99% water, all of these chemicals are
contained in the remaining 1% of the plant. Although this may seem like a small
percentage to contain so many ingredients, its helpfulness has been proven to
be significant. Dr. Atherton claims that this is due to synergistic actions. He
writes,
“Synergism
is defined as, ‘the working together of two or more drugs, muscles, etc., to
produce an effect greater then the sum of their individual effects.’”

P. (1997). The Essential Aloe Vera. Newport Pagnell: Mill Enterprises.
