Soothing Aloe
Vera
Aloe Vera has long been a popular houseplant. It is a
succulent plant, a member of the lily and onion family.
Aloe Vera has been found described in writings
in many different cultures and as far back as the Greek,
Egyptians, and Roman eras. References have also been found in
writings from the Indian and Chinese early cultures.
I remember my Mother grabbing a piece off her
aloe Vera plant and applying its gel to a burn or minor wound.
The aloe Vera gel comes from the inner portion of the
leaves.
For pharmaceutical use as a laxative, the aloe
juice is taken from the tubules just beneath the outer skin of
the leaves. It’s a bitter yellow and dried to become aloe
granules that are dark brown in color. This is from being
exposed to the sun
Aloe gel has been used for topical treatment
for minor wounds and burns and skin irritations for centuries.
Made into a beverage and taken internally, it has been used to
help many other conditions.
Some of them are constipation, ulcers,
diabetes, headaches, arthritis, and coughs. Taking aloe
internally does have side effects, which can include pain,
electrolyte imbalances, and diarrhea.
There have been scientific studies made to
determine whether aloe gel can influence wound healing if taken
internally. There isn’t enough evidence to determine if it does
promote healing from the inside out, but enough testing has
been done to know that it does if applied externally help with
treating the above mentioned conditions. It has been determined
that it can also help with treating minor vaginal
irritations.
Some key points to remember about aloe Vera
are:
-
Internal use of aloe gel has not been successfully
proven to be effective against any disease.
-
Aloe latex, another derivative of the aloe Vera plant
has been approved by the FDA in use in over the counter
laxatives.
- Aloe skin care products have not been scientifically
proven to be effective as per their claims.
Aloe Vera has been given wonderful names such
as the Burn Plant, Medicine Plant, Plant of Life and Wand of
Heaven plant. Cleopatra was said to have used aloe-vera in
their regular daily beauty routines. Aloe supplies were said to
have been used by Alexander the Great to treat his wounded
soldiers.
Aloe Vera is best used when used fresh from the
plant. It doesn’t store well but can be bought as a preserved
product. Aloe Vera can be used topically as well as taken
internally, although as mentioned there is no concrete
scientific proof of healing form the inside out. It has been
used for mouth sores, what we call stomach sores, or cold
sores.
Aloe Vera has been especially helpful of
patients with severe and various skin diseases. It acts as a
rejuvenating action. It acts as a moisturizer and hydrates the
skin. After being absorbed into the skin, it stimulates the
fibroblasts cells and causes them to regenerate themselves
faster. It’s the cells that that produce the collagen and
elastin so the skin will get smoother and look younger.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is said to affect as
many as 12 million people just in Britain alone. Symptoms
include:
-
Swollen abdomen
-
Unpleasant tastes in mouth
-
Diarrhea alternating between diarrhea and constipation
-
A diminished appetite
-
Stomach pains that occur low in the abdomen and
frequently.
-
Gas and belching along with a rumbling in the gut in
the bowel area.
-
General feeling of depression and lethargy.
- Heartburn
Because Aloe Vera is natural, it works gently
within the intestinal tract to help break down food residues
that have become impacted and help clean out the bowel. When
the bowel is cleaned out, it greatly reduces bloating,
discomfort, and helps ease stress, which only leads to more
attacks of irritable bowel syndrome. The sufferer of Irritable
Bowel Syndrome must also begin watching his or her diet, as
there are some foods that are triggers for an attack. We should
stress that professional help should be obtained at the
earliest onset of abdominal problems and pains.
