Aloe Vera, often called the Miracle Plant, the Silent Healer, the Burn Plant or even the Medicine Plant, goes by many names which have survived the 4000 or so years during which this amazing medicinal herb has benefited mankind.
Aloe Vera provides a rich cocktail of nutritional elements whose combined action and balance produce a more powerful effect together than would be expected from the individual components.
Its natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action combined with its nutritional constituents promote cell growth and therefore healing.
Dr Peter Atherton believes that it works primarily in the epithelial tissue and the immune system. This is supported by a considerable amount of anecdotal evidence but is now being backed up by clinical trials.
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 colitis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Other conditions resulting from a disordered immune system such as arthritis, asthma and ME (post viral fatigue syndrome) 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 that people always seek the advice of their doctor when a diagnosis is in doubt or where a condition does not improve.
