Africa was the original motherland of Aloe Vera according to the earliest etymology. Yet, it was named as Aloe in Latin. Another name, "ALLCH" was derived from the Arabic; it means "bitter" in taste.

Aloe Vera is a kind of fleshy herbal plant. It is edible raw or cooked. It is used internally or externally. Hence, it is famous for its multi functions worldwide.Historically, people had extensively used Aloe Vera as an herbal medical plant in 1500 B.C. (Before Christ). After the Second World War, Aloe Vera has functioned effectively in healing wounds, inflammations, burns and etc. It then drew more attention from the human being.For the past three or four decades, the remedial effect of Aloe Vera has been prevailed throughout Africa, Europe, America, Asia and etc. The fact that Aloe Vera has been extensively used in many areas "provokes" the advocates of more medical health research into Aloe Vera to be studied in a more proactive manner. Some studies pointed out that it helps treat the radiation burns, frostbites, cuts, dermatitis, and ulcers. It also facilitates the re-generation of cells, and speeds up the recovery process of cell tissues.Therefore, the growing of Aloe Vera and the development of its products for daily use, cosmetics, and medical applications look forward to greater contribution for the betterment of human health conditions.

The Construction of Aloe Vera Leaves

Yellow SapWhen the leave of Aloe Vera is sliced, a kind of liquid flowing out from the cutting edge is called yellow sap. Yellow sap consists of the following important ingredients: anthraquinones, anthra-ketone, phenol species, and quinine and aloenin species. It is able to balance the secretion of gastric juice and functions very well in anti-bacterial and anti-septic.

Gel Aloe Vera Gel is hidden inside the central parenchymal tissue. It forms part of the Aloe Vera leaves. Peel the upper and bottom of the leaves, gel is right between. To adapt a better dry living environment, Aloe Vera Gel is able to store huge amount of water to meet the demand of other plants. In spite of containing substantial amount of nutrient substances including amino acid, organic acid, salicylic, salicylate, gibberellin, kallikrein kinase, minerals, polysaccharides, and etc, they empower themselves to function respectively. As a result of the said team functioning, Aloe Vera has embraced itself with such collective synergy. Aloe Vera Gel has a moderate function on the body mechanism as it enhances incrementally and maintains as well as facilitates the physiological activities of cells, its organisation and human body.

The Unique Ingredients of Aloe Vera
The quality function of Aloe Vera lies in its synergistic combination of various ingredients. Medical studies have pointed out that Aloe Vera is capable of helping the human body internally and externally in terms of anti-inflammatory and anti-septic functions. Furthermore, it has the functions of moisture, softening or malacia, and smoothing. It then facilitates the fibrocyte and the growth of cell epidermis and maintains the skin becomes healthy and shining. The unique ingredients of Aloe Vera are illustrated in the following chart.

The Internal Usage of Aloe Vera

Enhancing Immunity Our immune system is like a group of soldiers. Once they are attacked, they will fight against the enemies until they are defeated.
Aloe Vera through the actions of stimulation and lymphocytosis will perform its function on our immune system by removing the harmful bacteria and facilitating the recovery of wounds. On top of that, the various activated ingredients such as poly-saccharin, amino acids contained in Aloe Vera is able to speed up the formation of cell tissues. The infected wound with bacteria can be effectively under control due to the rapid growth of immune cells.Therefore, Aloe Vera indirectly curbs the attack and the breeding of microorganism and toxins on our body. This will certainly have a positive impact on the rate of healing the wounds.
Facilitating the Function of Urinary SystemAloe Vera has the capability of killing bacteria and the function of synthesising the toxins released by the bacteria. So, Aloe Vera is able to contribute to the small case of inflammatory urinary system by effectively killing the bacteria. It can also contribute to diuresis without stimulating and burdening the kidney. It thus eliminates the toxic substances from the side effect of inflammation.

Facilitate the Function of Endocrine SystemThe mono- and poly-saccharin contained in Aloe Vera can facilitate the metabolism of fats and proteins. It then activates the hypodermis. The cells are then able to eliminate the redundant fats and wastes so as to achieve the effect of losing the body weight.
The healthcare professionals, through their research studies, reported generally that Aloe Vera could facilitate metabolism and increase immunity, and that it could gradually restore the normal function of pancreas. Thus, the balanced secretion of insulin helps curb the small intestine from over intaking the glucose so as to maintain the balancing value of blood sugar in our body.
Help the Function of Digestion and Facilitating the Intaking of Nutrition
Aloe Vera consists of various nutrients such as minerals, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, and so forth. These nutrients help our body to adjust its physical mechanism, digestive function, and nutrition intaking.
Minerals and enzymes help increase the power of penetrating the nutrients into the cells and muscles, and strengthen the reaction of our nervous system as well as maintain the balance of our pH value. The aliment that minerals and amino acids provide, however, helps to do a good job in repairing or restoring the damaged cells. At the same time, intaking of sufficient nutrients helps increase our immunity, balance the secretion of our hormones, decrease the oxidation of cells and the phenomenon of aging.
Facilitate Blood Circulation and MetabolismAloe Vera Juice contains lignin, which is able to penetrate into the internal part of cell tissues, and helps the cell to increase its capability of intaking the nutrients and saponins. Hence, this helps speed up the metabolism of our cells and adjust the physical mechanism of our body. Aloe Vera also helps facilitate our blood circulation, and helps in angiectasis, and helps increase the flowing of blood stream inside our skin. Hence, this helps increase the elasticity and smooth flowing of blood. So, Aloe Vera helps reduce and alleviate the partial pain as a result of angiectasis or vasoconstrictor.
