Aloe Vera is a succulent plant and is also grown as an ornamental plant in many homes. You've heard of many claims about its beneficial properties but wondered how to use the succulents that grow in your window sill pots.
Aloe Vera has a long association with herbal medicine. Aloe Vera contains numerous vitamins and minerals, enzymes, amino acids, natural sugars and agents which may be anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial. A leaf spike may be cut open and the gel applied directly to a cut or burn. For other uses, particularly for internal use, commercial gels and juices, which are processed under strict controls, can be found at most health food stores as well as many supermarkets.
Aloe Vera sap/gel helps sooth the skin injured by cuts, wounds and insect bites.
Aloe Vera gel is also used to sooth the skin in mild burns.
Internal intake of Aloe Vera has been linked with improved blood glucose levels in diabetics, and with lower blood lipids in hyperlipidemic patients, and also with acute hepatitis (liver disease).
It is also suggested that oral Aloe Vera gel may reduce symptoms and inflammation in patients with ulcerative colitis.
Aloe Vera extracts have antibacterial and antifungal activities. Aloe Vera extracts have been shown to inhibit the growth of fungi that cause tinea.
Aloe Vera juice is used for consumption and relief of digestive issues such as heartburn and irritable bowel syndrome.
For its anti-fungal properties, Aloe Vera is used as a fish tank water conditioner
Aloe Vera gel is used as an ingredient in commercially available lotion, yogurt, beverages and some desserts
It has soothing, moisturising and healing properties and it is common practice for cosmetic companies to add sap or other derivatives from Aloe Vera to products such as makeup, tissues, moisturizers, soaps, sunscreens, incense, razors and shampoos.
