Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is known as the silent healer. It's a powerhouse and a workhorse that makes everything run better. The plant is a hydrating source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Aloe vera is a succulent, which is a natural talent for handling hot climates. It can survive in the desert. Aloe vera is a hardy plant that is full of sap and vigor, as it has an excellent ability to store water in its thick leaves. It is resistant and does not rot easily. These are all characteristic properties of a plant full of life force.

Understanding Aloe Vera – Perhaps the Best-Known Medicinal Plant

Aloe vera consists of approximately 99% water. The solid part of the plant contains more than 75 different bioactive compounds, including:

💧Vitamins. Among them are A, C, and E, which are strong antioxidants, as well as several B vitamins, B12, and folic acid.

💧Enzymes. Build new proteins and perform important functions in cells.

💧Amino acids. Aloe vera contains between 18 and 20 of the 22 essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.

💧Minerals. Including magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, chromium, calcium, sodium, potassium, iron, and selenium. Minerals play an essential role in various enzyme systems, and several are antioxidants.

💧 Phenols. Important antioxidants that neutralize damaging free radicals.

💧 Sugars. For example, polysaccharides, which have moisturizing, regenerating, and cell-renewing effects.

💧Salicylic acid. Has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and promotes wound healing.

💧Saponins. Natural soap-like substances that make up about 31% of aloe vera gel and have cleansing and antiseptic properties.

Moisturizes and rejuvenates in skincare

Aloe vera stimulates fibroblasts, which are the cells that produce collagen and elastin fibers in connective tissue. This makes the skin softer, more elastic, and counteracts wrinkles. Aloe vera's regenerating properties rebuild both the skin and hair. Aloe vera also has a good effect on the scalp and can reduce the formation of dandruff.

Aloe vera's active leaf gel effectively regulates the skin's moisture balance by both hydrating the skin and acting as a moisturizer. The plant has a calming effect and soothes both redness and irritated skin.

Nature's Incredible Water Carrier

Nature uses water as a means of transport to move things from A to B. That is why the human body consists of approximately 60% water. Aloe vera’s high water content of 99% is essential for the plant to move its nutrients around and survive during droughts. The plant’s survival depends on the bioactive compounds that are transported via the water.

Aloe vera forms a moisturizing and soothing base for rosemary, calendula, chamomile, and horsetail, among others. When aloe vera is mixed with the essential oils of medicinal herbs, aloe vera increases the transfer of vital energies from the oils to the living cell.

Aloe Vera in your everyday life

Aloe vera can be used both internally and externally. It has a cooling, soothing, and regenerating effect on damaged skin.
You can break off a leaf from an aloe vera plant and apply the clear leaf gel directly to, for example, sunburned skin, insect bites, or small cuts.
Aloe vera is also available as a drink and juice and can be added to smoothies.
