Aloe belongs to Liliaceae and is an evergreen succulent plant. Scientific research has proved that it contains more than 100 components. Such as aloenin, aloe emodin, aloesin, aloe polysaccharide and aloe saponin, and also contains amino acids, organic acids, cellulose, active substances, enzymes and trace elements. But also found 60~70 kinds of nutrients (polysaccharides and amino acids), more than 20 kinds of organic acids, more than 20 kinds of minerals, more than 30 kinds of alkanes and 10 kinds of enzymes. In addition, the moisture content of fresh aloe leaves is 99%~99.5%.
A lot of data at home and abroad show that aloe has magical health care, beauty, physiological and pharmacological functions (see Aloe Therapy 100 Cases 1997 published by Shanghai Popular Science Publishing House for details).
1. Health care and beauty function: Taking aloe for both internal and external use has a very good magical effect on health and beauty, which can keep the skin beautiful, delicate, moist and shiny, and also protect against the sun. It is a natural advanced beauty product without any side effects.

4. Stomach-invigorating and antidiarrheal effects: Aloin, emodin and other effective components in aloe can stimulate appetite and relieve diarrhea in large intestine. Taking Aloe Vera can enhance gastrointestinal function, enhance physical fitness, and restore the appetite of critically ill patients who have lost their appetite due to physical weakness. Healthy people who take aloe for a long time and insist on aloe bath can not only prevent and treat various diseases, but also improve their physique, enhance their physical strength and maintain their vitality.
Healthy body fluids are weakly alkaline. Overworked or stressful life will make body fluids acidic and susceptible to viruses. Commonly used aloe will keep the body fluid alkaline, keep healthy and avoid catching a cold.
Aloe vera is the most effective medicine for constipation at all times and in all countries. Even if it is very serious constipation, it can be relieved within 8- 12 hours after taking aloe, because the aloin component increases the secretion of large intestine fluid, increases the activity of lipase, and restores the disordered autonomic nervous function of large intestine without side effects and drug dependence.
5. Heart-strengthening and blood-activating effects: Calcium isocitrate in aloe has the functions of heart-strengthening and blood-activating, softening and hardening arteries, reducing cholesterol content and dilating capillaries, thus making blood circulation smooth, reducing cholesterol value, reducing heart burden, keeping blood pressure normal and removing "toxins" in blood.
6. Immunity and regeneration: Aloin A, trauma hormone and polysaccharide peptide mannan (Ke-2) have the functions of resisting virus infection, promoting wound healing and recovery, diminishing inflammation and sterilization, absorbing heat and reducing swelling, softening skin and maintaining cell vitality. Gel polysaccharide combined with guaiacic acid also has wound healing activity, and is an ideal drug for treating trauma (hemorrhagic trauma and non-hemorrhagic trauma) without leaving scars.
7. Immune and antitumor effects: Viscous polysaccharides in aloe (acetylated glucomannan, mannan, acetylated mannan, aloe mannan, aloe cutin, alomycin, etc. ) has the effects of improving immunity, inhibiting and destroying abnormal cell growth, thus achieving the purpose of anti-cancer. Dr. Tomita, a Japanese expert in aloe research, pointed out in the article "Anti-cancer Research of Aloe" (published in 1966) that aloe mannan, aloe cutin, alomycin and other components in aloe can prevent cancer cell activity. Dr Yunan Suzuki, a Japanese aloe research expert, put forward the excellent curative effect of animal experiments in his paper "Anti-tumor Activity of Aloin -A". "Aloe antigen", a high molecular substance in aloe, has agglutination to red blood cells and contains substances that can react with cell membranes. Aloe anticancer element -A has strong physiological activity. Animal experiments have proved that it has anti-cancer effect, which can improve human anti-cancer immunity, increase NK- cells and kill abnormal cells-cancer cells in organisms.
Another theory of aloe in treating cancer is "self-healing power", which has proved that aloe can enhance the self-healing power of human body.
8. Detoxification: Aloe vera itself is non-toxic and harmless without side effects, and will not produce antibodies. Aloin alomicin and other components in aloe can decompose harmful substances in organisms and exclude toxins invaded by external organisms.
Radiation or nuclear radiation can treat burn skin ulcers caused by cancer. Aloe vera can not only detoxify, diminish inflammation and regenerate new cells, but also increase the number of white blood cells reduced by radiotherapy.
9. Anti-aging effect: Mucin (protein) in aloe is mainly composed of polysaccharides such as arboran A Baloe mannan. Mucin is an important component to prevent cell aging and treat chronic allergies.
Mucin exists in muscles and gastrointestinal mucosa of human body, which makes tissues elastic. If mucin is insufficient, muscles and mucous membranes will lose their elasticity and become stiff and aging. If mucin is insufficient, the cells that make up the human body will gradually weaken and lose the ability to defend against germs and viruses. In addition, mucin has the function of strengthening the body and strengthening the essence.
10. Analgesic and sedative effects: When finger pain and toothache are unbearable, sticking aloe leaves on the affected area can eliminate pain, neuralgia, gout, muscle soreness and so on. Oral administration plus external use of aloe vera also has analgesic effect. Aloe can also prevent and treat hangover, carsickness and seasickness.
1 1. Sunscreen function: natural anthraquinone glycoside or anthracene derivative in aloe can absorb ultraviolet rays and prevent skin redness and brown spots.

In summer, when the skin is coated with aloe juice, mosquitoes will not bite. Colombians often apply aloe juice to children's feet to prevent pests.
Aloe juice is sprayed on doors, windows and indoors to prevent flies from entering. Dai people use aloe juice to prevent flies from entering the room.
13. Deodorization effect: Aloe has the function of preventing foot, mouth, armpit and other body odor. A long time ago, people used aloe to get rid of body odor. When African Congolese hunt, they will put aloe juice on their bodies to avoid being smelled by animals.
The peculiar efficacy of aloe has aroused widespread concern in the scientific community, especially in the medical field. In particular, western developed countries, represented by the United States, have invested a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources in the research, development and application of aloe, forming an "aloe fever". Aloe vera has developed very rapidly, with remarkable utilization of development results and huge economic benefits. Its research results are not only used in medical treatment, beauty and food health care, but also used in dyes, metallurgy, textiles, pesticides and animal husbandry. -Aloe vera
To use aloe to treat diseases, we must first identify whether it is a medicinal aloe species, and avoid using agave, Raytheon or aloe species with ornamental value for disease prevention and treatment.
