Benefits of plant leaves

The benefits of aloe are easy to explain if you know the composition of the pulp of its leaves.

The plant contains about 200 biologically active substances, each of which has certain benefits.

Aloe contains:

• vitamins A, E, C;
• B vitamins;
• amino acids;
• polysaccharides;
• anthraquinone glycosides;
• resins;
• phytoncides;
• gelonins;
• enzymes, etc.

Aloe is known for its wound healing properties . In addition, the juice of the plant accelerates the process of restoration of the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum. Aloe also has anti-burn, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It has a detrimental effect on:

• fungi;
• staphylococci;
• streptococci;
• causative agents of dysentery and diphtheria.

In small doses, aloe juice improves appetite and digestion, in large doses it acts as a laxative. Indications for the use of plant juice are also colds, diseases of the mucous membranes, stomatitis and even tuberculosis.

We discuss the beneficial and medicinal properties of aloe in more detail in a separate material.

Pharmaceutical product

Pharmacy aloe is often confused with agave, which is grown at home. The difference between these plants is small, but still there. Agave is a type of pharmaceutical aloe (aloe vera). The main difference between these plants is their appearance. Aloe vera has long, pointed leaves that grow from the root upward. Agave grows in the form of a small tree with a trunk on which pointed leaves are located.

The leaves of indoor agave are much thinner and smaller than those of pharmaceutical aloe, so they contain little useful juice. But both agave and pharmaceutical aloe have almost the same beneficial properties.

For oral administration, it is aloe vera that is used, not agave.

pharmachologic effect

Pharmacological action - general tonic, adaptogenic.

Aloe juice enhances bile secretion, the secretion of digestive glands, has a laxative effect and bactericidal activity against pathogens (internally), anti-inflammatory, wound-healing effect (externally).

Aloe syrup with iron contains easily digestible iron for the formation of hemoglobin and normal hematopoiesis, replenishes the lack of iron in the body associated with poor absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, blood loss, malnutrition, increased need for iron (pregnancy, active growth in children and adolescents).

Aloe liniment accelerates epithelization, increases skin tolerance to X-ray irradiation, has an analgesic effect, reduces burning sensation and tightness. In experiments on rabbits, it was found that when used prophylactically, it reduces the reaction and significantly shortens the healing time of radiation damage to the skin.

Aloe coated tablets are used as a biogenic stimulant.

Contraindications and possible harm of traditional medicine

Since aloe juice is hypoallergenic, there are no contraindications to the external use of this flower. It must be used internally with care:

• This is especially true for pregnant women, women during lactation, people with unidentified diagnoses (we talked about whether the use of aloe during pregnancy is allowed here).
• You should not consume the juice of the plant during exacerbation of chronic diseases, serious illnesses and disorders of the nervous system (increased excitability, epilepsy).
• There is also no need to give high concentrations of plant juice to children under three years of age (more information on the use of aloe for children can be found in a separate publication).

Improper use of aloe at home can lead to side effects such as:

• dispersion;
• heartburn;
• discomfort and pain in the abdomen;
• loose stools;
• increased menstruation.

Less commonly, you may notice an increase in temperature and blood pressure, and a decrease in blood sugar levels.
