Aloe vera gel: effect and application of the miracle plant

Aloe vera gel contains numerous active ingredients that have a positive effect on the health of your body. We will show you how medicine from nature works and how you can use it.

Aloe vera gel: effect of the miracle plant

• A particularly effective ingredient of the plant gel is the polysaccharide acemannan. Incidentally, the body can form this polysaccharide itself, but only until puberty. Adults need to ingest Acemannan through food.
• However, numerous other mono- and polysaccharides are also included, for example cellulose, glucose or pentosan.
• Mono- and polysaccharides have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal effects. They also stimulate the immune system and promote digestion.
• Another important active ingredient is the valine contained in the gel. It is an amino acid. In total, the plant's gel contains at least seven essential amino acids.
• Aloe vera gel contains numerous vitamins, especially vitamin E is present in high concentration.
• You will also find numerous enzymes in the aloe vera gel, which help the body with digestion and facilitate the absorption of sugars, proteins and fats. The enzymes amylase, bradykinase, carboxypeptidase, catalase, cellulase, lipase and peroxidase and phosphatase were found in the aloe vera gel.
• Minerals and trace elements are contained in large quantities in the gel. The plant contains iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, selenium, zinc as well as chromium, potassium, copper and sodium.

How to use nature's medicine

• You can use the various positive ingredients of the gel just as varied for your health. The effects of the mono- and polysaccharides help to heal smaller wounds and inflammations, including gum infections.
• Sunburn, pimples, neurodermatitis, psoriasis or herpes can also be treated with aloe vera gel.
• Not only the skin, but also the hair benefit from the healthy effects of the plant. We have created a separate article for you for this type of application.
• Valine helps with stress relief - incidentally also with physical stress relief, i.e. after injuries or operations, since valine prevents an increased protein breakdown.
