Properties of high quality Aloe Vera

Why does it work?

It works by providing a rich cocktail of micro-nutritional elements whose combined action and balance produce a more powerful effect together than would be expected from the addition of the individual components. This is because they work as a team, enhancing each other's effect - known as synergism. It also has adaptogenic properties which means that different individuals take from it what they need, therefore the benefits vary from person to person.

Where does it work?

Aloe Vera, because of its nutritional and immune modulating properties, helps firstly to prevent injury to epithelial tissues, and when they are damaged, it promotes healing. Antioxidants fight the destructive 'free radicals', the unstable compounds produced by our metabolism and found in environmental pollutants. They are thought to cause various ailments, including some cancers, as well as contributing towards the ageing process. A long chain sugar in aloe vera acts on the immune system to help regulate its activity.

An epithelium is an anatomical term defined as follows: "a layer of cells that covers the body or lines a cavity that connects with it". Our largest epithelium is our skin but also included are the lining of the gut, the bronchial tubes and the genital tract. No wonder Aloe works just as well on damaged skin as it does, say, on an inflamed bowel or in asthma.

How does it work? - properties and activities

Its natural anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial action, combined within its nutritional constituents, promote cell growth, and therefore healing. However, it is not only helpful for people with problems; most people taking it report a greater sense of well being - they just feel 'better' or they report feeling calmer and less anxious. This could be due to aloe's effect on their immune system which, you may say, becomes balanced or fine-tuned, and therefore, more efficient at defending the body from attack.

Stabilised Aloe Vera Gel (when taken as a drink or applied externally to the skin and hair) has the following benefits:

	It is a natural cleanser due to the presence of saponins. It penetrates tissue due to its lignin content.
	It anaesthetises the tissue in the area to which it is applied, relieving pain deep beneath the surface, including pain associated with joints and sore muscles.
	It is bactericidal when held in high concentration for several hours in direct contact with bacteria, whereas antibiotics kill bacteria when highly diluted.
	It is viruscidal and fungicidal when in direct contact in high concentration for a long period of time.
	It is anti-inflammatory. It acts like a steroid, but with no side effects.
	It is anti-pruritic - reducing itching and burning. It is a natural moisturiser, taking moisture to all layers of the skin. It stimulates cell replication.
	The proteolytic enzymes break down dead tissue - cleansing a wound (topical products).
	It helps to increase blood flow in the skin by capillary dilation.
	It is health giving to the skin and body by providing a wide range of vitamins, minerals, sugars, enzymes and amino acids, essential and secondary.
	Safety - each of the above benefits can be achieved with one or more drugs. Usually these are expensive and have numerous side effects. Aloe Vera can produce benefits in high concentration with virtually no side effects.

Aloe Vera is not a panacea for all ills and there is no magic about it. lt works only in the two areas mentioned previously - epithelial tissue and the immune system. This is largely backed up by anecdotal evidence, as many thousands of people over the centuries have reported benefit for various skin complaints such as eczema, psoriasis, ulcers, burns, acne even stings and bites.

They have found relief for bowel disorders such as diverticulosis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Other conditions resulting from a disordered immune system such as arthritis, asthma and ME (post viral fatigue syndrome) and LE (lupus) have improved after a regular ingestion of Aloe Vera Gel.

Aloe Vera therefore has a complementary role to play in the management of various conditions. It is very important, however, that people should always seek the advice of their doctor, when diagnosis is in doubt, or where a condition does not improve. Self diagnosis can be extremely dangerous as many serious conditions can mimic more simple ones.
