The aloe plant can be found all over the world. It is known as a succulent. This means it stores water like a cactus. This water is stored in the fleshy part of its leaves. Because of this ability to retain water, it can survive long periods of drought and is best suited for hot, dry climates.
It can be dormant in winter and requires little or no moisture. It is believed to have originated in North Africa, but no longer grows naturally there. Instead, there are natural growing areas around the world that have dry and hot climates. These include Egypt, Morocco, Sudan and the Canary Islands. It is also grown in many places such as the United States, China, Australia, Mexico, Cuba and India. In these countries, like the United States, large agricultural production takes place to supply the cosmetic industry with aloe gel.
This gel is used for skin care, such as the treatment of burns, abrasions, psoriasis, etc., and skin rejuvenation. Aloe gel is produced when the skin of the green flesh of the leaves is broken. Aloe plant content also contains 75 or more biologically active ingredients that are beneficial to the human body and are therefore widely used in alternative medicine. These ingredients include amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. It contains amino acids, and only one amino acid is needed by the human body. The plant contains 19 of these 20 amino acids that the body needs.
Eight of them cannot be produced by the human body. It contains seven of these amino acids.
They are:
Isoleucine
Leucine
Lysine
Methionine
Phenylalanine
Threonine
Valine
Tryptophan
The human body requires a number of essential trace elements and minerals to function properly. Since the body cannot produce these minerals on its own, they must be supplied from the outside. The aloe plant contains several essential minerals that the body needs.
The minerals present in the plant are:
Calcium
Chromium
Copper
Iron
Magnesium
Manganese
Potassium
Phosphorus
Sodium
Zinc
Aloe juice can be made from the aloe plant. This juice can be taken internally to provide the body with these active ingredients. The plant can also be used to make medicines that can be taken internally and provide the same benefits. It should be noted that until 2002, aloe vera juice, made from the outer green leaf as its main ingredient, was sold as a laxative in the United States. It was withdrawn due to insufficient data on its safety.
The aloe plant is used both externally and internally. It is used in the form of gel, syrup, and tablets. As far as its healing power is concerned, it is still relatively unknown in the scientific community. However, it is widely used in alternative medicine as a means of treating many diseases. If you decide to use its healing power, please consult a reliable source.
