For thousands of years, plants and other earth borne materials have been used for medicinal, spiritual, and recreational purposes. It hasn't been until recent times, with the scientific revolution, that scientists and other health enthusiasts have been able to truly explore the benefits of these plants at a molecular chemical level. One plant that has been getting a lot of attention in the health world is the Aloe Vera plant. This unique looking plant has been recently blown into the health and wellness spotlight, with some staggering results upon modern scientific review. A plethora of health benefits have been discovered from the plant, confirming what the ancients knew.
It is quickly becoming one of the most sought after supplements and numerous new health products have been incorporating Aloe into their products.
Today, Aloe Vera is used in the cosmetics and alternative medicine industries claiming various rejuvenating, healing, or soothing properties. As a young child I can remember going to my mother with a burn or insect bit and she would break one of the succulent branches off of one of the plants we had in the house and allow the goo-like healing powers soothe the pain. The mainstream use of Aloe Vera has been mostly topical until recently. New studies have found aloe is rich in vitamins and minerals and have since been incorporated in indigestible remedies. It's super high antioxidant count and mineral content is quite impressive. Aloe Vera contains vitamins A, C, E, folic acid, choline, B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B6. Aloe Vera is also one of the few plants that contains vitamin B12.
Some of the 20 minerals found in Aloe Vera juice includes calcium, magnesium, zinc, chromium, selenium, sodium, iron, potassium, copper, and manganese, all things our body needs but does not manufacture naturally. Of the 22 amino acids, 8 being essential to life, Aloe Vera has 20 of them, all 8 essential included. Aloe has also been found to be an adaptogen, greatly helping the body maintain homeostasis in times of crisis.
Another benefit of Aloe Vera juice is its ability to aid in digestive processes. The many enzymes it contains in its gelatinous stalk help coat the digestive tract. And a healthier digestive system yields a more efficient digestive system that will process food faster, eliminate harmful toxins, and in turn as a secondary effect, can aid in weight loss.
Aloe Vera Juice Benefits also includes the fact that Aloe indirectly can prevent disease through its alkaline properties. Diseased cells cannot survive in an alkaline environment. Most people are living and subsisting on mostly acidic foods, mainly due to harmful additives pumped into our ultra-processed foods. Aloe alkalizes the body, helping to balance overly acidic dietary habits.
A lesser studied topic states that Aloe Vera juice can maybe even aid in cardiovascular health, as when introduced to human blood it has been shown to catalyze the production of red blood cells, again this is a topic just beginning research, but noteworthy none the less.
The polysaccharides in Aloe Vera juice stimulate the white blood cells of your immune system that fight against viruses.
Aloe Vera juice is also an immune enhancer because of its high level of anti-oxidants, which help combat the unstable compounds known as free-radicals that can lead to a myriad of diseases such as cancer. Aloe is also an antipyretic which means it's used to reduce or prevent fever.
And as most already know, thankfully my mother too, the topical benefits of Aloe Vera Juice are many as well, and as result E is one of the primary compounds used in the cosmetic industry. Aside from its vulnerary properties for burns, abrasions, psoriasis and bug bites, It also acts as an analgesic, to help soothe pain of wounds. Another benefit, that now I remember my mother also utilized was rubbing products with the little green miracle plant on my sunburn - the immediate soothing effect feels like an absolute lifesaver.
Also Aloe Vera juice is also an antipruritic that is it relieves or prevents itching, and is an astringent: which causes the contraction of body tissues, typically used to reduce bleeding from minor abrasions.
In conclusion, inside and out, the benefits of Aloe Vera Juice is the epitome of a super plant. With numerous Health benefits, topical applications, plethora of vitamins and minerals and, on a personal note, fond memories of mom gently applying it to my flaming sunburnt skin.
