On a daily basis, humans are exposed to harmful substances and organisms in their various environments. However, there are natural solutions to these harmful substances and organisms in fruits and plants in our environments. This means, there are numerous plants and fruits that are beneficial for healthy living. One of such plants is Aloe Vera.
There are many researches on the capability of plants acting as healing agents and cures from harmful substances. These researches have shown that across the world, several millions of plants can naturally be used to prevent body from 'breakdown, treat diseases and improve the overall condition of health.
Aloe Vera - is one plant nature has blessed humanity with. Its extract can be used for different purposes. There are approximately 420 species of the genus Aloe, to which the Aloe Vera belongs. Aloe Vera has its botanical name as Aloe barbadensis miller, and belongs to the Liliaceae family. It is a perennial, xerophytic, and succulent green plant, with a triangular, fleshy leaves with serrated edges. More so, the geographic origin of Aloe Vera is believed to be in Sudan, North Africa, before it was later introduced in the Mediterranean region and most other warm areas of the world, Asia, Europe, and Americas.
The inner part of Aloe Vera is the clear 'aloe gel. Aloe atex - a milky fluid - comes from just under the plant's skin and is yellowish. With this, some aloe products are naturally made by crushing the leaves, so they contain both gel and latex. This plant can be cultivated for agricultural and medicinal uses, and can also serve the purpose of interior decoration, as it can successfully grow as a potted plant.
Astonishingly, over 70 active components that can save human lives have been scientifically found in this plant. They include: vital vitamins and minerals for proper growth and function of all the body's systems; antioxidant ' vitamins A, C and E - plus vitamin B12, folic acid and choline; saccharides; amino acids; anthraquinones; enzymes; minerals such as calcium, copper, selenium, chromium, manganese, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc; lignin, saponins and salicylic acids are also resent in Aloe Vera.
Still on the components, 20 of the 22 human-required amino acids and eight of the essential amino acids are present in Aloe Vera; 12 anthraquinones or compounds known as laxatives are included: aloin and emodin, which act as analgesics, antibacterials and antivirals are present; eight enzymes, including aliiases, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, bradykinase, carboxypeptidase, catalase, cellulase, lipase and peroxidase, are found; four fatty acids, which include cholesterol, campesterol, beta- sisosterol and lupeol - all providing anti-inflammatory results, are included.
Not done with the sufficient components of Aloe Vera yet. The hormones called auxins and gibberellins are also present in this plant. Aloe Vera has anti-inflammatory properties for healing wounds. It provides sugars, such as monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) and polysaccharides. Nature has embedded lots of beneficial components in this lovely jelly-plant. Other health benefits of Aloe Vera include:
Helps with digestion
Due to its anti-inflammatory and laxative components, Aloe Vera has the ability to help with digestion. Aloe Vera's juice helps digestion, normalises acid/alkaline and pH balance, lessens yeast formation, and encourages digestive bacteria and regularizes bowel processing.
Moisturises hair and scalp
Naturally, it prevents dry hair or an itchy scalp, and its vitamins and minerals keep the hair strong and healthy. Aloe Vera's antibacterial and antifungal properties help combat dandruff, and the gel's enzymes can rid the scalp of dead cells and promote the regeneration of skin tissue around the hair follicles.
Heal cold sores
Antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties in Aloe Vera help accelerate healing and reduce pain associated with cold sores or any sores on the mouth. The amino acids and vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6 and vitamin C are also extremely helpful to life- saving. For example, Vitamin B6 acts as a natural pain treatment and creates antibodies that our immune system uses to protect us.
Treats constipation
The presence of anthraquinones in the latex of Aloe Vera create a potent laxative that increases intestinal water content, stimulates mucus secretion and increases intestinal peristalsis, which are contractions that break down food and mix the chyme.
Boosts the immune system Aloe Vera enables the cells to function properly by breaking down the proteins that we eat into amino acids and turn the enzymes into fuel for every cell in the body. The bradykinase in Aloe Vera stimulates the immune system and kills infections. Zinc component in Aloe Vera makes it effective in combating zinc deficiency.
Treats Diabetes
Aloe Vera is able to alleviate the chronic hyperglycemia and perturbed lipid profile that are common among people with diabetes, and are major risk factors for cardiovascular complications. This adds natural diabetes cure to the list of Aloe Vera benefits.
Treats burns
More so, Aloe Vera gel has a protective effect against radiation damage to the skin. By 1959, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of Aloe Vera ointment as an over-the-counter medication for healing burns on the skin. When Aloe Vera gel is used on burns, it prevents UV-induced suppression for faster healing of the area affected.
Reduces inflammation and provides antioxidants Aloe Vera provides an amazing number of vitamins and minerals that help reduce inflammation - the root of most diseases - and fight free radicals in the body. Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E play a critical role in maintaining- healthy vision, protect the body from cardiovascular disease, fights inflammation, and help to slow the aging of cells.
