Aloe Vera Plant

ALOEVERA AT A GLANCE -Introduction
Aloe barbadensis Miller (also known as Aloe vera), a member of the family Liliacae, is cultivated for its thick fleshy leaves from which many substances are obtained. In the past, the yellow resinous latex that exudes from the leaves was used as a laxative or purgative (Cheney, 1970). Because of Aloe gel's reputation as a folk remedy for burns and wounds, some people keep one or more plants readily available at home. Starting more than 50 years ago, the gel in the parenchyma cells of the leaf was being processed and marketed as a drink product. Today, the industry is flourishing and the gel is being used in many products such as fresh gel, juice, and other formulations for health, medical, and cosmetic purposes (Blitz et al., 1963, Cera et al., 1980; Genet and van Schooten, 1992; Morton, 1961). 

As Aloe marketing increases, many more people are purchasing creams, ointments, juices, and even facial tissue and shampoo containing the gel of Aloe. Of the many Aloe-based products on the market, some contain Aloe as claimed, whereas others may not or may have insufficient amounts of Aloe than that shown on their labels. The expanding Aloe industry urgently needed a way to police itself by developing test procedures and a reliable database so that a product claiming to have Aloe could be tested and certified (Waller, 1992). This certification not only could reduce fraudulent claims, but also would build consumer confidence in Aloe products.

One problem in certifying various products was the lack of needed reliable data. With the development of an Aloe database, products' quality can be continually monitored and certification revoked if standards are not being met. The International Aloe Science Council (IASC), the certifying body of the Aloe industry, needs to know the content and levels of certain constituents in the raw Aloe materials and how these levels fluctuate with different harvest times in plants grown at various locations. A study was initiated in April 1991 with support from the IASC to develop certain baseline information that could be used by IASC as part of a certification program for Aloe products. A preliminary report covering the first 33 weeks of data was previously published (Wang and Strong, 1993). 

It is one of the oldest known medicinal plants. It is mentioned in Holy Vedas, Ramayana, Bible, Quran, and Ancient. Egyptian and Chinese History, Cleopatra queen of Egypt used  Aloevera for preservation of her beauty. Alexander the Great fought a battle for soccotra island, where Aloevera grows, in 333 BC for his wounded soldiers, Mahatma Gandhi described the nutritional value of Aloevera during his long fasting in 19^th Century.

Aloevera is a semitropical plant. There are around 300 species but only three have medicinal value. These three are:
1.  Aloevera Barbadensis
2.  Aloevera Ferox
3.  Aloevera Pari baker

The most potent is “Aloevera Barbadensis” its belong to Liliaceae family. According to different languages its manes are as below:

PLANT DESCRIPTION 

It is a coarse perennial plant with short stem and shallow root system. Leaves are fleshy, in roseltes, densely crowded with horny pickles on the margins,. Surface of the leaf is pale green with irregular white linings or pouches and flowers are brought fellow in colour. It flowers during Sept.- December. Aloevera leaves are used for medicinal purpose. The juice of Aloevera leaver is used as medicine and its called Aloevera Gel. 

COMPONENTS OF ALOEVERA

Aloevera contains at least 75 known ingredients which can divided into the following groups:

1. VITAMINS:  It is rich in all vitamins specially the anti-oxidant vitamin A, C & E, other are B1, B2, B6, B12, folic acid and choline. Vitamins in natural form are very fast absorbable and useful in compression of synthetics.

2.  MINERALS: Calcium, Potassium, Iron, Sodium, Magnesium, Maganese, Copper, Chromium and anti-oxidant Selenium. Although minerals and trace elements are only needed in very small quantity, they are essential for the proper functioning of various enzyme systems in different metabolic pathways. 

3.  ENZYMES: These are bio-chemicals, which catalyze the digestion and other metabolic reactions in the body. Aloevera contains phosphates, amylase, lipase, catalyze, creative, phosphokin, nuclestides, cellulose, alkaline phosphates proteolysis and Bradykinase.
Especially Bradykinase, helps to reduce excessive inflammation when applied to the skin topically and therefore reduce pain and any other abnormal sensation. Others helps in digest any dead tissues in wounds. Lipase and protease which break down foods and aid digestion are present. 

4.  SUGAR: These are derived from the mucilage layer of the plant which surrounds the inner gel and are known as mucopolysaccharides, which enhance the immune system and help to detoxify. Aloevera contains bath mono & polysaccharides, but the most important are the long chain sugars involving glucose and mannose. These sugars are ingested whole from the gut, not broken down like other sugars, and appear in the bloodstream in exactly the same form. This process in known as pinocytosis. Some of these polysaccharides are not absorbed but stick to certain cells lining the gut and from a barriers preventing absorption of unwanted material so helping to prevent a ‘leaking’ gut syndrome in topical preparation. The sugars are main moisturizers. 

5. LAXETIVES (Anthraquinones): There are twelve of these phenolic compounds which are found exclusively in the plant. The important one, Aloin & Emodin, act as laxative, painkillers, antibacterial and antiviral.

6. LIGNINS:  It is an inert substance but when included in topical preparations it help to penetrate ingredients into the skin.

7. SAPOONINS: These soapy substances form about 3% of the Aloevera Gel and are capable of cleansing & having antiseptic properties. These act powerfully as antimicrobials against bacteria, viruses, fungus and yeast. 

8. FATTY ACIDS:  In Aloevera four steroids are present i.e. cholesterol, campestrol, B sisosterol and lupeol. These four plant steroids are important anti-inflammatory agents.

9.  SALICYLIC ACID:  It is an aspirin like compound possessing anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.

10. AMINO ACIDS:  Aloevera contains 20 Amino Acids, out of 20, 7 are essential amino acids which our body cannot synthesis. These are Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, methionine, valenin, phenylalanine and thereonine.

USES & IMPORTANCE

A Unique plant with multi purpose and multi nutritional qualities, possessing multiple action and helps to prevent diseases, maintains and restore health and promotes healing. It contains Vitamins, Enzymes, Minerals Laxatives (Anthraquinones) Lignin’s, Saponins, Fatty, acids, salicylic Acid, amino acids, proteins and sugars. 

It provides a rich cocktail of nutritional elements whose combines action and balance produce a more powerful effect together, that would be expected from the addition on the individual components. This is because they work as a team, enhancing each other’s effects known as synergism. 

It also has “adaptogenic” properties, which means that different individuals take from it what they need. Therefore the benefits vary from person to person. 

Aloevera because of its nutritional qualities and antioxidant properties helps to prevent injury to the epithelial tissues and when they are damaged, it promotes healing. The antioxidant fight the “ Free Radicals” the unstable compounds produced by our metabolism and found in the environmental pollutants. They are thought to cause the aging and diseases Aloevera will clean all the capillaries and other tubular mechanisms in the whole body and do the Repair , Rejuvenation and Regeneration of cells, the basic unit of life Detoxification = Elimination + Regeneration + Assimilation.
