The Aloe Vera topical gel of Land Art

For thousands of years, the aloe vera plant has been recognized for its many health benefits. The earliest written records of aloe vera date back to 2100 BC in Mesopotamia. Its traditional use was also well known among many civilizations, including Greece, Egypt, China, India, South Africa, and Japan. Today, this plant is increasingly studied to better understand its properties and why it is so effective.

The aloe vera plant

There are several species of aloe vera, but Aloe barbadensis Miller is the most recognized. It grows mainly in arid regions of Africa, Asia, Europe, India, and the Americas. Aloe vera is composed of three layers.

• The first is the clear inner gel, which contains 99% water and is rich in polysaccharides, amino acids, vitamins, lipids, and sterols.
• The second layer is the latex, which contains substances with powerful laxative effects.
• The third layer is the outer rind, which protects the plant from dehydration and helps produce its proteins and carbohydrates.

This plant contains 75 potentially active compounds, grouped into eight families:

1. Vitamins: It contains vitamins A, C, and E, which are antioxidants. It also provides vitamin B12, folic acid (B9), and choline.
2. Enzymes: It contains eight enzymes, the most well known being bradykinase, which helps reduce inflammation. The other enzymes assist in breaking down sugars and fats.
3. Minerals: It provides several minerals, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper, selenium, and zinc.
4. Sugars: It contains simple sugars (monosaccharides) as well as polysaccharides, primarily glucomannans. These polysaccharides are believed to offer multiple health benefits.
5. Anthraquinones (aloins): These compounds have strong laxative effects.
6. Fatty acids: They have anti-inflammatory properties.
7. Hormones: They help reduce inflammation and accelerate wound healing.
8. Other components: Aloe vera also contains various other compounds, including 20 amino acids and salicylic acid, which has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

External benefits

Thanks to its many active components, aloe vera offers numerous health benefits. Studies suggest four potential benefits for external use:

• Speeds wound healing: It stimulates the repair of external tissues and mucous membranes.

• Anti-inflammatory: Several natural components of aloe vera contribute to this effect.

• Hydrating and anti-aging effects: It reduces skin dryness and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.

• Helps protect against sun damage

Because of these properties, aloe vera is beneficial for various skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, minor burns, sunburns, abrasions, dandruff, hair concerns, and signs of skin aging.
