A to Z, Why Aloe Vera and Why It Works

It works because the Aloe vera plant produces at least six antiseptic agents: lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamic acid, phenol, and sulfur. All of these substances are recognized as antiseptics, because together they exhibit antimicrobial activity. This explains why Aloe has the ability to eliminate many internal and external infections. Lupeol, salicylic acid and magnesium are also highly effective analgesics, and this explains why Aloe is an effective pain killer.

Aloe vera contains at least three anti-inflammatory fatty acids (cholesterol, campesterol and B-sitosterol, all of which are plant sterols), and this explains why Aloe is such an effective treatment for burns, cuts, scrapes, and abrasions, as well as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, and ulcers of all kinds, both internal and external. The presence of fatty acids may explain why some have stated that Aloe is highly effective for many inflammatory conditions of the digestive system and many other internal organs, including the stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, kidney, and pancreas. The presence of any one of these fatty acids, especially B-sitosterol, explains why it is often reported that Aloe juice is an effective treatment of allergic reactions and acid indigestion, and why it helps, in association with a low fat diet, to lower harmful cholesterol levels.
If the SYNERGISTIC RELATIONSHIP between the elements found in the plant’s sap, its gel and throughout the entire plant does not explain why Aloe works, then NOTHING DOES! All of which explains why across time, lay persons and physicians alike have proclaimed that Aloe vera has the ability to heal, alleviate, eliminate or cure, a monumental list of human diseases and disorders, and therefore truly deserves the name Medicine Plant.

Five Unique Benefits to The Human Body:

1.   Penetration – Aloe has the ability to reach the deepest body tissues, some seven layers deep.
2.   Antiseptic – Aloe has six antiseptic agents: lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamic acid, phenol and sulfur. Kills bacteria, viruses and fungus.
3.   Stimulates cell growth – Aloe stimulates the birth of new, healthy tissue.
4.   Settles nerves
5.   Cleanses – Aloe detoxifies and normalizes your metabolism.

Most Lotions, Liquid Substances & Water Will Penetrate Only Two Layers. Aloe Penetrates All Seven!

Stimulates new cell growth six to eight times, as proven by Dr. Ivan E. Danhof.

Aloe Vera, Miracle Healing Plant

The use of Aloe vera will be the most important single step forward in the treatment of diseases in the history of mankind.
H. Reginald McDaniel, M.D.

Hundreds of scientific papers describe the activities of Aloe vera gel taken internally or applied
externally to skin and hair. These include:

  •  A natural cleanser
  •  Penetrates tissue 
  • Anesthetizes tissue, relieving pain associated with joints & sore muscles 
  • Bactericidal in high concentration with infectious bacteria – acts as strong antibiotic, destroying bacteria even when diluted 
  • Virucidal when in direct contact for long periods 
  • Fungicidal 
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Antipruritic – stops itching
  • Nutritional – provides vitamins, minerals, sugars
  • Dilates capillaries, increases circulation to area
  • Breaks down and digests dead tissue, including pus (acne)
  • Enhances normal cell proliferation. Hastens healing
  • Moisturizes tissues
  • Antipyretic – reduces heat of sores
