Age

To many people aloe vera is simply a folk
remedy, used for the quick relief of minor cuts and burns, while to
others it's a decorative houseplant. To some, it’s the
largest wonder in “natural” ingredients. |

Aloe vera is this and more: it is the basis of
a multi-million dollar industry of nutrition and health
supplements, facial, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical creams. Not only
that, it has captured the interest of scientists and medical
researchers throughout the world who are working to discover and
identify the source of the healing properties of the soothing gel
and translucent juice stored inside its leaves. |

Crucial discoveries in recent years have
brought scientists even closer to identifying the source of the
healing properties within the soothing gel and translucent juice
stored inside the aloe vera plant’s leaves. Studies have
revealed that one of several active ingredients is a complex
carbohydrate called acemannan. Such new information has opened the
doors for potential new applications and uses of aloe’s
healing abilities in the treatment of cancers, tumors, ulcers,
wounds, inflammatory diseases, and, most significantly, infectious
diseases such as HIV and AIDS.

In more traditional uses, physicians use aloe vera-based creams
to heal serious thermal injuries, such as burns and frostbite.
Dentists employ aloe vera gels to reduce swelling and inflammation
of the gums. Dermatologists rely on aloe vera products to help
clear acne, and optometrists find the products helpful in soothing
eye inflammations. Professional sports trainers treat their
athletes’ muscle aches and sprains, skin abrasions, and
blisters with aloe vera. Cosmetics companies in corporate aloe vera
into, skin care and cosmetic products, not only for the beneficial
effects aloe vera is said to have on the skin and hair but also for
the marketing appeal the words “made with aloe” now
have for the consumer. Drinking aloe vera with honey is said to
have the therapeutic effects on arthritis, ulcers, diabetes, and
other health conditions. The wide range of applications, and the
beneficial effects of its use, continue to increase the popularity
of this ancient plant. |
