What Is Aloe Vera?
Aloe vera is a succulent found in many tropical regions, and it features thick, fleshy leaves that extend upwards. Aloe vera powder is used extensively throughout the cosmetic industry as a favorable humectant, an ingredient sought after to reduce the loss of moisture. Aloe vera powder is utilized in a wide range of personal-care formulations marketed to sooth the skin particularly after exposure to the sun such as lotions, cooling creams, and moisturizers.
The role of aloe vera
1. The effect of anti-inflammatory and sterilization
The bactericidal effect of aloe is the same as that of antibiotics, and it has the function that antibiotics do not have. It can remove the toxic metabolites produced by bacterial infection and the endotoxin left by the bacteria after the bacteria are killed. Studies have found that most of the anthraquinone compounds in aloe have the functions of sterilization, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, detoxification, and promotion of wound healing, and can effectively eliminate acne and acne. They are clinically used to treat various inflammations with remarkable curative effect; Tincture is a substance with strong antibacterial properties. It has antibacterial and sterilizing effects on bacteria, viruses, fungi, and molds. It can also effectively kill drug-resistant bacteria caused by the use of antibiotics; polysaccharides in aloe can effectively enhance the body's resistance, especially enhance anti-inflammatory and bactericidal capabilities, long-term use of aloe can treat dermatitis, chronic nephritis, cystitis, Chronic diseases such as bronchitis.
Aloe has been proved by clinical application to have obvious therapeutic effect on various inflammations and ulcers. The urus in aloe vera can cover the surface of inflammation and ulcers, regenerate damaged tissues, make new tissues grow around inflammation, and produce bactericidal power against bacteria and viruses in the oral cavity, thus effectively healing inflammation.
2. Protect the liver
Experiments have shown that aloe vera decoction can restore liver function, reduce triglycerides, and improve hepatic steatosis for alcoholic liver disease. The emodin and rhein in aloe can significantly increase the content of glycogen and RNA in liver cells and promote hepatic blood circulation through the inhibition of liver mitochondrial respiratory chain electron transfer and respiratory chain complexes, as well as succinate dehydrogenase and oxidase. , Improve the blood supply and oxygen supply function of the liver, reduce the damage of FR to the liver, and promote the recovery and regeneration of liver cells.
One of the most notable functions of aloe's pharmacological effects is the detoxification function. "Materia Medica Zaixin" records: "Aloe can cure hepatitis, calm liver wind, relieve upset, stop heart dryness, and relieve fire toxins." Theories of traditional Chinese medicine believe that the etiology of hepatitis is quite complicated, and most chronic hepatitis is related to dampness, heat and blood stasis. Aloe vera can clear away heat, cool the liver, help to remove blood stasis, let out toxins, and protect the liver. Therefore, treating hepatitis with aloe vera is in line with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to a certain extent. Therefore, aloe can promote the formation of liver cell DNA and promote the growth of liver cells; the polysaccharides contained in aloe have good detoxification and bactericidal effects, can supplement the detoxification of the liver, and promote liver blood circulation, help Restoration of liver function.
3. The role of regulating blood lipids
Aloe vera can effectively treat cardiovascular diseases. The superoxides such as SOD contained in aloe vera can eliminate the blood and blood vessel damage caused by lipid peroxidation; Purifies blood, softens blood vessels, lowers blood pressure and blood viscosity, promotes blood circulation, prevents arteriosclerosis and cerebral hemorrhage; calcium isocitrate has the functions of strengthening the heart, promoting blood circulation, softening arteries, lowering cholesterol, and dilating capillaries. Make blood circulate smoothly to the end of each capillary, reduce the burden on the heart, calm the heart, and promote normal blood pressure.
Modern scientific research proves that among many medicines, aloe vera is a herbal medicine that can lower blood pressure and cure the root cause. School of Public Health, West China University of Medical Sciences, used aloe vera oral liquid to test the results of rats, which proved that it has the effect of regulating blood lipids. The Hubei Provincial Health and Epidemic Prevention Station used aloe vera oral solution to give Kunming mice different doses of oral gavage. The experimental results showed that: the small intestine propulsion rate of the tested animals in each dose group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the tested animals could increase the defecation weight. . Therefore, it has the effect of improving intestinal function (laxative).
4. The effect of delaying aging
Oxidative damage induced by reactive oxygen species is one of the important causes of cell tissue damage, cancer and aging. Aloe-emodin and aloin, the main medicinal components of aloe, are anthraquinone compounds containing multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups. Electron transfer due to redox reactions. Studies have shown that aloe vera can increase the content of glutathione (GSH) in the whole blood of old mice, reduce the content of serum malondialdehyde (MDA), increase the level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the serum of old mice, and have anti-free radical damage. Anti-aging effect.
5. The role of immune regulation
Studies have shown that aloe vera stimulates the immune system. Aloe vera polysaccharides endow resistance to any lesion in the body, which can improve self-resistance and accelerate the treatment effect. For example, the good effect of aloe polysaccharides on cancer mainly comes into play by improving the function of the human immune system.
6. Regulate the role of endocrine
Aloe vera has the function of strengthening the liver, gallbladder, pancreas and other liver organs, especially in regulating insulin secretion, it has a significant promoting effect, and can be used to prevent or treat diabetes.
The Institute of Pharmacognosy of Tengtian Health University Hospital in Japan believes that aloe has a hypoglycemic effect on spontaneous diabetic mice and normal mice. They isolated two fractions from aloe vera leaves. The fraction isolated from the succulent layer of the mesophyll, when administered intraperitoneally or orally to mice, lowered blood glucose levels and maintained them at a low level for about 24 hours. When components of the leaf epidermis were administered to streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, hyperglycemia was significantly reduced. When tissue sections of the pancreas were taken and examined under an optical microscope, it was found that the degeneration and necrosis of insulin β-cells were relatively mild. The experimental results show that aloe vera can directly lower blood sugar and activate β-cells, so it can alleviate the condition of diabetes.
7. Regulate the role of the stomach
The stomach-invigorating and laxative effects of aloe are mainly due to the aloe-emodin glycosides, aloe vera, aloe vera tincture and other ingredients contained in aloe have the functions of invigorating the stomach and laxative, and play the role of increasing appetite and large intestine laxative. Aloe-emodin glycosides have the function of invigorating the stomach, releasing aloe-emodin in the intestinal tract, which can inhibit irritating diarrhea. Its main action site is in the large intestine, increasing the activity of lipase, accelerating the peristalsis of the intestinal tract, and can treat various constipation. It is used to treat hot knot constipation, hemorrhoids, etc., especially for the treatment of senile constipation; the water-soluble fiber contained in aloe vera meat is also helpful for laxative.
8. The role of detoxification and detoxification
The polysaccharides contained in aloe have the function of decomposing harmful substances in the body, and can also neutralize the toxins invaded from the outside, and can relieve drug poisoning or side effects caused by antibiotics and chemical drugs. Aloe vera has detoxification, anti-inflammation and regeneration of new cells for burn skin ulcers caused by radiation or nuclear radiation therapy, and increases white blood cells reduced by radiation therapy.
Aloe polysaccharides can stimulate the growth of fibroblasts. Injecting mice with aloe polysaccharides at a concentration of 10-25mg/kg can relieve the toxicity of curare and atropine.
