What is Aloe Vera?
Aloe vera is also known as medicinal aloe, while its common names are lily of the desert, burn plant and elephant’s gall. It belongs to the family of succulent plants in the genus ‘Aloe’. The origin of this burn plant is believed to be in Sudan and has been used for more than 6,000 years. The great virtues of this plant have been recognized by many civilizations, including the Egyptians, Spanish, Persians, Greeks, Italians, Africans, Japanese, and Indians. It grows best in warm and dry climates and is densely found in Indonesia (ALOE CHINENSIS BAKER), India, Africa, and other arid zones.
Uses
Aloe vera is a succulent plant with many amazing uses, and its benefits are typically obtained by breaking off a stalk to extract the gel-like substance within; it is then either applied topically to the skin and hair or ingested. The gel can also be combined with other natural ingredients to form part of your health or beauty routine.
Aloe vera powder is also added to lotions, hair sprays, creams, baby oil, nutritional supplements, and pet care products.
Aloe Vera Nutrition
For decades, the soothing nature of aloe vera has been known
and respected by the people who believe in naturopathy. The aloe vera plant has
compounds such as mannans, polysaccharides, lectins, and anthraquinones that
are extremely beneficial for human health. It has 18 amino acids that work in
association with other compounds of the human body to deliver numerous health
benefits. According to USDA, aloe juice is a good source of energy, iron,
sodium, and calcium.
Health Benefits of Aloe Vera
The common health benefits of aloe are discussed below.
Improves Digestion
The adaptogenic properties of aloe vera are beneficial for a
proper digestion. It ensures better nutrient absorption and also eliminates
harmful elements through smooth excretion. A healthy digestive process
positively affects your thoughts and actions, thus promoting overall health.
Dr. Meika Foster, University of Sydney, Australia, in her study reports that
aloe vera latex has amazing laxative effects. Thus, it cures irritable
bowel syndrome (IBS) and keeps constipation, piles, and other gastrointestinal
conditions from damaging your system.
Aloe vera has compounds called polysaccharides that have the
ability to cure a host of digestive disorders and ulcers. Ulcers are one of the
most prominent consequences of digestive problems that are effectively cured by
this plant extract. Many studies have proven that it cures issues like Crohn’s
disease, peptic ulcers, and other digestive tract disorders. If you suffer from
ulcers and consume aloe vera extract for at least 3 – 4 weeks, you will surely
notice positive results.
Boosts Immunity
Beverages made with aloe vera juice possess natural
detoxifying properties that effectively cleanse the digestive system and the
circulatory system. As the absorption level of nutrients accelerates, it
results in better blood circulation and also improves health. When the blood is
oxygen-rich, it automatically provides nutrients within the cells more
proficiently. These healthy cells ensure your body’s ability to ward off
infections, thereby strengthening your immune system. It has the capability to
neutralize harmful bacteria and its rejuvenating properties work within your
body to keep it fresh and active throughout the day.
Inhibits Cancerous Growth
Aloe vera contains some effective macrophages that produce
huge volumes of nitric oxide, which has antitumor potential. In naturopathy,
there are innumerable methods of cancer prevention and the aloe vera-based has
proven to be one of the most successful ones. Many studies have shown that
these antitumor and immunomodulatory properties are due to the presence of
polysaccharides in aloe vera. However, some experts say that, when used
alone, it may not be very effective in advanced cases, so a combination of herbs
like spirulina, cat’s claw, and therapies like intravenous vitamin C should
also be included. It is always advisable to start any kind of cancer
treatment after consulting a physician.
Heals Side Effects of Radiotherapy
During a cancer treatment, radiotherapy is inevitable in
most cases. Cancer patients often experience uncomfortable side effects due to
radiotherapy. According to a study cited in Radiation Oncology, aloe vera
application helps prevent the acute skin side effects in patients treated with
radiotherapy for breast cancer. [6] It also accelerates healing. If you drink
aloe juice in such conditions, it will also help you in healing the radiation
burns.
Skin Care
Aloe has been used for skin ailments since ancient times.
The pure inner gel extracted from the aloe leaf is the best natural remedy for
skin abrasions and it also helps diminish the symptoms of aging skin
conditions. Many skin care and personal care products, toiletries, and
cosmetics include aloe extracts. In fact, if you have its plant at home, simply
tear a small part of the leaf, take the gel and apply it in the raw form on
your face. This therapy will prove to be far better and more effective than
many expensive skin creams on the market. Most people prefer drinking its juice,
which also enhances skin health, as the properties of the plant work
internally. It also helps in curing stings, rashes, and psoriasis. Journal of
Dermatological Treatment says that the topical application of aloe vera gel
combined with tretinoin is extremely useful in the treatment of mild and
moderate acne vulgaris. Another study has also proved the ability of aloe
vera to cure suntan and sunburn.
Hair Care
Aloe vera has proven to be an excellent option for promoting
hair growth naturally. The hair products that contain it are essential to
retain voluminous and healthy hair. You can apply its gel to the entire scalp
and hair to treat hair loss as it has an enzyme that is beneficial for
stimulating hair growth. Aloe vera shampoo improves blood circulation and keeps
you away from stress and mental strain. In fact, it has anti-inflammatory
properties that effectively treat androgenetic alopecia or male pattern
baldness. If you use it regularly as a shampoo and conditioner, you are
sure to prevent premature hair loss.
Reduces Arthritis Pain
Aloe is noted for its amazing anti-inflammatory properties
that work instantly on the pain and swelling resulting from arthritis. Its
juice is also extremely effective in calming the swelling and inflammation that
are closely associated with arthritis. In fact, topical application, drinking
aloe juice or eating aloe vera, its pills or capsules all show positive results
in curing arthritis pain.
Other Benefits

Relieves Joint & Muscle Pain
The anti-inflammatory properties of aloe vera help it to
work efficiently on joint and muscle pains. Applying aloe gel topically eases
inflammation of the joints. Eating aloe vera, its capsules, or drinking its
juice can reduce inflammation throughout the body, thus proving to be
revitalizing. In some studies, it has been reported that people who regularly
consume aloe vera juice for at least two weeks experience a significant
improvement in inflammation issues. However, it works efficiently when your
diet contains less intake of red meat, sugar, milk, fried foods, and white
flour.
Heals Wounds
Aloe has been considered a natural healer ever since it was
discovered thousands of years ago. According to a study by Dr. Amar Surjushe,
Department of Dermatology, Grant Medical College and Sir J J Group of
Hospitals, Mumbai, India, “Alexander the Great and Christopher Columbus used it
to treat soldiers’ wounds”. If used externally, it is the best option for
dressing wounds. In fact, in many cases, it is seen that aloe vera works like
magic, even in the most serious of emergency room wound cases. The juice
instantly seals the wound by drawing the flow of blood to the wound, thus
enhancing the process of wound healing. In many studies, it has been proven
that aloe effectively treats third-degree burn victims and it restores the
burned skin faster. [11] It is also known that a large amount of aloe vera gel
can heal wounds of gunshots and tissue injuries.
Cures Menstrual Problems
The extract of aloe vera has shown to be an excellent
stimulant of the uterus and eating aloe vera or drinking its juice is very
beneficial during painful menstruation.
Alleviates Nausea
Nausea can occur due to a host of reasons, including
consuming contaminated food, having a virus or flu, or even due to chemotherapy
treatments. Oftentimes, feelings of nausea originate from disorders in the
stomach or in the digestive tract. Aloe vera juice is excellent for a sick
stomach and makes you feel better by bringing a calm feeling throughout the
body.

Reduces Blood Sugar Level
Eating aloe vera pills has beneficial effects on reducing
blood sugar levels. A study on the effects of aloe vera on diabetic patients,
published in Phytomedicine, suggests that its consumption helps lower blood
sugar and triglyceride levels.
Prevents Oxidative Stress
Aloe vera gel is rich in vitamins like vitamin B12, B1, B2,
B6, and vitamin A, E, C, niacin, and folic acid. These vitamins are required
for the proper functioning of the human body. The body’s defense system is thus
kept intact by regularly eating aloe vera capsules or drinking its juice.
Soothes Acid Reflux
Acid reflux is often wrongly known as a disease, while it is
actually just a symptom that involves heartburn and discomfort. Initially, you
can try the natural remedy of consuming aloe vera juice, which usually works
effectively and initiates proper functioning. However, you should try to avoid
eating fried and processed food to evade the problem altogether. A study
published in Elsevier’s Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine, aloe vera can
provide an effective treatment against gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Lowers Cholesterol
Improves Cardiovascular Function
Aloe vera extract accelerates the supply of blood and
purifies it at the same time. This blood accelerates the delivery of
oxygen to the organs in the body, thereby maximizing their functionality. A
2011 study shows that aloe vera gel can also prevent myocardial oxidative
stress.
Cures Gum Diseases
Preserves Food
A thin layer of aloe vera gel can act as a natural food
preservative. In an experiment, aloe preservative was able to keep grapes fresh
for more than 35 days. Furthermore, a 2014 study cited in Cambridge Core shows
that the pure aqueous extract of aloe vera can inhibit the growth of certain
microbes. This extract when coated on tomatoes helped delay ripening and
was effective in increasing its overall shelf-life.
Many scientists say that this benefit of aloe can bring a
new dimension to food safety regulations around the world. Further experiments
showed that dipping fruits and vegetables in aloe vera gel effectively
eliminated E.coli, retained freshness, and also extended their shelf life. The
FDA has also approved it as a natural food flavoring agent.
Boosts Blood Oxygenation
Blood oxygenation benefits the supply of CO2 (carbon
dioxide) to vital organs. In some studies, it has been reported that aloe vera
aids in blood oxygenation.
Delays Aging
Aloe vera has been a primary component of many skin products
that help in retaining youthfulness. The added support of aloe in any skin
cream enhances its function as a wrinkle fader and skin rejuvenator. The
anti-aging properties work on the skin and keep it fresh, supple, wrinkle-free,
and bright. The properties of aloe make it penetrate quickly within the various
layers of the skin, even to the muscles of the body.
