Aloe Vera has been used medicinally for 5,000 years. It has been called the "miracle
plant", the "medicine plant" and the "wand of heaven". Aloe Vera is a natural detoxifier, it boosts the immune system, increases beneficial intestinal flora, soothes and repairs damaged and inflamed tissue both internally and externally. It has often been seen as a "cure-all" because it has so many uses.

The first recorded evidence of the healing properties of Aloe Vera are found on ancient Egyptian texts dating from around 1500 BC. The Egyptians referred to aloe vera as "the Plant of Immortality".

Arab traders were probably responsible for the spread of Aloe Vera into Persia, India and the Far East.

Aristotle was reputed to have persuaded his student Alexander the Great to seize the island of Socorra for the Aloe Vera that grew there. The Aloe could survive unplanted for many years so could be carried as an emergency treatment for wounds suffered by Alexander's troops.

In the first century AD the Greek physician Dioscorides wrote in his Materia Medica that Aloe Vera extract could be used to treat wounds, stomach complaints, constipation, hemorrhoids, headaches, all mouth problems, hair loss, insect bites, kidney ailments and skin irritations.

In Africa Aloe Vera was used for stomach aches and to prevent infection from insect bites.

The Chinese used Aloe Vera for treating eczema during the Sung dynasty.

In India during the fourth century BC people believed that Aloe Vera grew in the Garden of Eden. They called it "the silent healer" and used it to heal skin conditions and inflammation.

In the early Christian era Aloe Vera could be found in all advanced medical texts.

Eventually Aloe Vera was introduced into the Americas. In Mexico the juice was used to treat skin complaints and wounds. In Central and South America people used the juice as an insect repellant. Aloe Vera was sold in the street markets of Latin America as an aphrodisiac.

Jesuit priests were encouraged to take Aloe Vera with them when going to the New World to spread the bible. Settlers in North America were using Aloe Vera to heal wounds and burns. The indigenous Seminole people believed that the plant had powerful rejuvenating properties and that a "Fountain of Youth" sprang from a pool within a cluster of Aloes. As the popularity of Aloe Vera increased during the 18th century so trade wars occurred between the British, Spanish and Dutch to establish Aloe plantations in the New World.

During the late 18th and early 19th centuries many wealthy collectors of exotic plants added Aloe Vera to their collections and many discoveries about its properties were made during this period. At one time Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, housed the finest collection of Aloes in England.

By the late 19th century synthetic laboratory drugs were taking precedence over botanical compounds. There was a naive optimism that scientific advance would lead to ever more effective drugs that would eventually "conquer" all disease and herbal remedies such as Aloe Vera fell from favor.

Although research was carried out by the United States into the burn-healing properties of Aloe Vera during the 1930s to find a cure for radiation burns it was only in the 1960s that improved techniques allowed proper stabilization of the Aloe Vera. Stabilization of the Aloe Vera juice allowed it to be stored for long periods and therefore commercial production became viable. Public interest was rekindled.

Previous methods of extraction concentrated only on the Aloe Vera gel found in the middle of the leaf. They did not use the whole leaf because it was difficult to prevent contamination with Aloe Latex. Aloe Latex is a yellow extract from the inner leaf of the plant that acts as a laxative and can cause severe cramps and diarrhea. The very latest processing methods now allow the whole Aloe Vera leaf to be processed without Aloe Latex contamination. This is a hugely important step forward as the juice can now contain the healing power of all parts of the plant rather than just the inner gel. The polysaccharide count (MPS) in whole leaf juice can reach much higher values
using these latest processing methods.

Aloe Vera is a succulent plant of the lily family native to the Cape of Good Hope and growing wild in much of Africa and Madagascar.

Commercial growers cultivate it in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Japan and the USA.

It produces a ring of dagger shaped fleshy leaves that grow up from the base of the plant.

Each leaf can grow up to nearly 2kg in weight.  It is from the leaf that the soothing Aloe Vera juice is extracted.

The Aloe Vera plant is drought resistant and grows mainly in subtropical desert-like savannas.

When the leaves are cut the plant can close off its cells to retain fluid. The plant suffers no damage and simply reseals itself.

Aloe Vera can grow to 20 meters in height but usually grows only to about 1.5 meters. Each plant has about 15 leaves and blooms intermittently. It produces erect spikes of drooping yellow, orange or red tubular flowers on a woody stem.

AloeVera - "Medicine Plant" Scientists have identified nearly 100 active ingredients within the Aloe Vera plant of which 75 have been found to be active healing compounds. It is the  synergy of the chemical constituents that makes the plant such an effective healer.

This explains the significant benefits of juice extracted from the whole leaf compared to juice extracted solely from the aloe gel. Whole leaf aloe juice provides all the active ingredients found in the leaf of the plant, and it is the way that all these compounds work together that provides the benefit. Aloe Vera juice contains a class of long-chain sugars called polysaccharides (or MPS). Polysaccharides are normally found in all cells of your body. However your body stops producing MPS around the age of 10, after which your body relies completely on outside sources for these vital compounds. Aloe Vera is an extremely rich source of polysaccharides.

Polysaccharides help boost the immune system, lubricate joints and line the colon. Aloe Vera is especially rich in acemannan. This is a polysaccharide that research has proven to stimulate the body's macrophages to produce interferon and interleukin, which stop viruses multiplying. Macrophages are the deep cleansers of the immune system that can destroy small particles such as toxic chemicals and tumors.

Compounds called anthraquinones are partially responsible for the anti-inflammatory and anaesthetizing effects of Aloe Vera. These properties also make Aloe Vera useful for topical treatments to alleviate swellings, stings, sprains and sunburn.

Aloe Vera juice cleanses and detoxifies the digestive system and this has an influence on other bodily organs and systems. It contains magnesium lactate which appears to lower stomach acidity thus reversing the effects of indigestion and heartburn.

In fact aloe vera is an "amphoteric" as it can treat opposite conditions by either raising or lowering levels of hydrochloric acid as required. Low hydrochloric acid levels are common and contribute to allergies.

Aloe Vera juice is also very effective for people suffering from stomach ulcers as it coats the stomach lining.

Aloe Vera helps restore balance in the digestive system in several ways: it acts as an alkalizing agent, it reduces yeast overgrowth that can destroy the normal "friendly" bacteria in the gut, it penetrates the walls of the digestive system to remove harmful bacteria.

By restoring balance to the digestive system, restoring the beneficial "friendly" bacteria and reducing inflammation the body is better able to absorb nutrients. This can have a huge impact on a person's overall well-being and help fight many disorders not directly connected with the digestive system. Aloe Vera juice raises energy levels and promotes a sense of well-being.

Digestive system disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Acid Indigestion, Colitis and Candida all benefit from Aloe Vera juice.

Aloe Vera – Research
Russian research has shown benefits to conditions other than those for which Aloe Vera is most well known. These include improvements in bone tuberculosis and broken bones, inflammatory gynecological conditions, paralysis caused by polio; ear, nose and throat conditions, and bronchial asthma. They have also found that Aloe Vera can help slow the aging process.

Both Russia and the United States have carried out extensive research into the use of Aloe Vera for all types of burns. They found that compounds within Aloe Vera can help the burn heal, and can also have a cleansing and antibacterial effect. Research has also been carried out into whether Aloe Vera can play a role in the treatment of cancer. Aloe Vera appears to cause the release of tumor necrosis factor Alpha that blocks the blood supply to cancerous growths. A study in Japan showed that drinking Aloe Vera juice regularly may be effective in preventing the onset of lung cancer in smokers.

Aloe Vera Plant Research

Diabetes and heart disease improvement with Aloe Vera Increasing numbers of studies have proven significant anti-diabetic activity of Aloe Vera.  A study conducted at the Mahidol University of Bangkok, Thailand and published in the journal of Phyto medicine in 1996, 72 patients with high fasting blood sugar and typical diabetic curve of glucose tolerance who had never been treated with hypoglycemic drugs were selected to participate in the study.  The placebo controlled double blind study was conducted to evaluate the effects of oral aloe vera supplementation on blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides.  The treatment group received 15 milliliters of aloe vera twice daily for 42 days.  Blood samples were taken weekly for measurement of fasting blood glucose levels and every two weeks for triglyceride and cholesterol analyses. Before the study the patients in the control and treatment groups showed no variances in blood markers.  After treatment with Aloe Vera the blood sugar in the treatment group had been reduced 43%, blood triglycerides were reduced by 44% and there was no change in cholesterol.  No change was seen in the control group that did not receive Aloe Vera, no adverse side effects were reported due to the consumption of the Aloe Vera and there was no difference in weight or appetite in the treatment group.

A second study was conducted at the same institution with the treatment of Aloe Vera given to patients who were not responding to glibenclamide an anti-diabetic medication used to lower blood sugar levels.  Results were a 48% reduction in blood sugar levels and a 52% reduction in triglycerides and no change in cholesterol. A study conducted by Agarwal had similar findings with supplementation of Aloe Vera.  In this study 5,000 patients with athermanous heart disease were studied over a five year period.  Out of the 5,000 patients, 3,167 were diabetic, 2,572 had a history of smoking and 2,151 had evidence of hypertension.  Consumption of alcohol and tobacco was restricted and patients were instructed to take 100 grams of Aloe Vera and 20 grams of Husk of Isabgol for fiber, mixed with wheat four and prepared in bread to be consumed at lunch and dinner for a five year period of the study.  During the beginning stages of the study all patients continued to take their same medications that they were on prior to the study. Patients experienced positive improvements as early as the second week after receiving the treatment of Aloe Vera.  After three months patients began to see chest pain associated with heart disease disappear, as well as improvement in their electrocardiogram results even after treadmill tests.  None of the patients suffered fresh heart attacks during the study.  After three months the lipid profile of patients also improved.  Serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels of 93% of the patients returned to normal and out of the 3,167 diabetic patients 94% of their blood sugar levels returned to normal.  Of the 2,990 diabetic patients responding to the treatment all the oral hyperglycemic medications had to be withdrawn by the end of two months treatment with Aloe Vera.  All patients that were taking beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and diuretics for hypertension and angina control had their medications reduced to half the dose that they were taking prior to the study.  Hypertension patients did not show improvement in blood pressure levels.  At the conclusion of the study all patients remained on diet control alone.  Argwall concluded that Aloe Vera had a definite role in the prevention and management of atherosclerotic heart disease and in controlling the blood sugar level in diabetic patients.
