Benefits
Of Aloe
Aloe
vera is one of the most commonly used substances in health care around the
world. From skin care to inner health, aloe has proven effectiveness in a wide
range of health applications, from holistic to clinical. In fact, the ancient
Egyptians found aloe vera to be so effective they referred to it as the “plant
of immortality.” Over the last thousand years, the use and application of aloe
vera has been geared more towards tried and true medical purposes, making it a
widely used remedy and preventative product for many different conditions.
Aloe
vera is a succulent plant with wide, fleshly leaves that grow in offsets.
Sitting at roughly three feet tall at maximum, the aloe vera plant is small and
stemless with serrated leaves. The aloe vera plant is grown mainly in captivity
as there are no naturally occurring populations. The leaves of an aloe vera
plant house a thick, gummy clear gel. This gel, commonly seen in skin care and
other natural products, is the most popular part of the plant, although the
skin can be used as well in promoting good health.
Although
aloe vera has many positive qualities, it is most commonly seen as a remedy for
skin ailments. Aloe vera is best known as a great treatment for burns and
sunburns, either alone or as a component in burn creams. It is not uncommon for
people to keep aloe vera plants in the home simply for this purpose.
Additionally, aloe’s soothing properties make it an effective moisturizer,
keeping dry skin at bay in cooler, drier months. Seen as a productive part of a
beneficial skin routine, many women choose to apply aloe vera daily in order to
keep facial skin looking smooth and clear.
Aside
from these common applications, aloe can be used to treat acne and can fight
signs of aging, like wrinkles, age lines, and crows feet. Many people also
apply aloe to their stretch marks to reduce the severity and others have found
it useful in reducing the look and feel of scarring. Many companies include aloe
vera in face washes and other facial skin products, such as cleansing masks, in
order to promote youthful, clear skin. Many women have also found that aloe
vera makes an effective makeup base for its smooth finish. There is also
evidence that aloe vera can alleviate the symptoms of psoriasis, cold sores,
and bed sores.
While
most commonly applied topically, aloe vera can also be ingested orally. Aloe
vera can be taken to reduce symptoms from rheumatoid arthritis, constipation
and other digestive complications, high cholesterol and ulcerative colitis. Due
to its potent taste, many individuals choose to take aloe vera supplements or
to combine it into health shakes or smoothies. Like most supplements, aloe
should be taken sparingly and in the recommended dosages.
For
almost two thousand years, aloe vera has been used to treat a wide variety of
illnesses and afflictions from burns to stomach cramps. Today, aloe vera is
widely used in holistic and allopathic medicine to treat sunburn, acne, cold
sores, digestive problems, cholesterol, as well as to improve the overall look
and feel of skin. While many herbal remedies have proved to be old wives’
tales, aloe vera’s usefulness has perpetuated into the practice of modern
medicine, making it an ingredient in hundreds of products sold each year.
