ALOE VERA

Research studies highlight the tremendous healing powers of aloe

when used both internally and externally. Some of the benefits include:

as a pain and allergy inhibitor, for inflammation, fluid retention,

perspiration odours, itching, hemorrhaging and to close cuts for cell

regeneration and healing, to destroy parasites, harmful bacteria and

fungi in the intestinal tract, to relieve bowel tension and help

produce bowel movements, moisturise skin, increase blood flow, remove

toxins and dead tissue, penetrate skin to reach tendons, muscles,

joints and the lymph system, and promote the growth of new tissue. It

also has a normalising action on fluid levels and the acid/ alkaline

balance in the body. Research has shown that aloe vera can increase the

proliferation of lymphocytes and stimulate natural immunity through

killer cell activity. Aloe has a strong effect on the immune system, by

activating and stimulating macrophages, monocytes, antibodies and

T-cells, as well as increasing the number of anti-body forming Bcells

in the spleen.

One of the most important functions

of aloe is to aid the digestive system, as poor digestion can be

responsible for many diseases. Our food comprises proteins,

carbohydrates and fats that must undergo a process of digestion, which

consists of breaking down complex substances into simpler ones so they

can be absorbed and used by the body. Aloe is able to assist the body

by providing the active properties of a large range of amino acids,

monosaccharides, fatty acids and enzymes that act as catalysts in

breaking down complex foods so the body can assimilate the nutrients

more efficiently. Considerable in-vitro and in-vivo research has been

done with the concentration of mucopolysaccharides (MSPs) found in aloe

vera. MSPs are long-chained sugar molecules, which are found naturally

in every cell of the body, however, around the time of puberty, the

body stops producing them. When taken internally, they have been shown

to have immune stimulating effects. The MSPs of aloe vera interact with

the body's immune system, enhancing rather than over-riding this

system. MSPs interject themselves into the cell membranes of the body

resulting in much greater cell fluidity and permeability, allowing

toxins to flow out of the cells more freely and nutrients to flow in.

These nutrients include electrolytes and water, so the MSPs are able to

facilitate absorbtion in the gastro-intestinal tract. The overall

effect on the body is a rise in energy and cell metabolism activity

which leads to a feeling of wellbeing. MSPs also act to protect cells

from invasion by microbes such as viruses by setting up a protective

barrier, which forms a lining on the colon and keeps toxic wastes from

entering the body. MSPs will also lubricate the joints and relieve pain

by dilating capillaries, which increases the supply of oxygen and blood

to the area. Aloe vera's properties are extraordinary and have

been used to treat man's many ailments from A to Z. Its uses and

the conditions it may relieve include: abscesses, abrasions, acne,

allergies, AIDS, anemia, arterial insufficiency, arthritis,

athlete's foot, asthma, bad breath, baldness, blisters, bed

sores, bladder infections, blood pressure, bruises, bronchitis, burns,

bursitis, bunions, bed wetting, boils, bone fractures, candida, canker

sores, cancer, carbuncles, cataracts, cramps, chilblains, chemotherapy

colic, constipation, cystitis, conjunctivitis, colon cleanser,

complexion enhancer, chicken pox sores, lowers serum cholesterol,

convulsions, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, dandruff, dysentery,

depression, dry skin, dermatitis, denture sores, detoxifier, duodenal

gangrene, gingivitis, glaucoma, gynaecological diseases, gall ailments,

heat rash, headaches, hemorrhoids, heart burn, high blood pressure,

hang-overs, hives, heat exhaustion, insomnia, ingrown toenails,

indigestion, insect bites, inflamed joints, jaundice, kidney

infections, leprosy, laryngitis, lupus, liver ailments, leukaemia,

lacerations, multiple sclerosis, mouth ulcers, moles, migraines,

tonsillitis, tendonitis, trachoma, tuberculosis, tiredness, tropical

ear, ulcers, vaginitis, venereal sores, varicose veins, worms, worts,

wounds, X-ray burns, yeast infection and zoster (shingles).

Aloe

vera has six antiseptic agents (sulphur, lupeol, salicylic acid,

cinnamic acid, urea nitrogen and phenol) which act as a team to provide

antimicrobial activity thus eliminating many internal and external

infections. The pain relieving action is due to the effective

analgesics in salicylic acid, magnesium and lupeol. Fatty acids also

have a pain reducing, allergy and inflammation relieving effect, and

work to lower harmful cholesterol levels.
