aloe oil
Also known as Vera Vera, Vera is a transliteration of its name, also known as American Aloe Vera. Fibrous roots, short stems and leaves are clustered at the top of the stem. The leaves are arranged in a spiral shape with thick fat juice. The leaves are 30-70cm long, 4-15cm wide and 2-5cm thick, with tapering tips and broad bases. The leaves are pink and green with white spots, which gradually disappear with the growth of the leaves, and there are spiny teeth around the leaves. Its stem is solitary, with two or three branches 60- 120 cm high. Racemes are scattered with drooping flowers.
Special surprise: it can be used in food, medicine and beauty products. Aloe juice, concentrated juice and crystal powder are mainly extracted, and some of them are also used for home potted viewing.
Medicinal efficacy of aloe
1 People's Republic of China (PRC) Pharmacopoeia (2000 edition) says so.
Sexual taste and meridian tropism: bitter and cold. Liver, stomach and large intestine meridians entered.
Indications: clearing liver and relaxing bowels. Used for constipation, malnutrition and convulsion; External treatment of wet tinea.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" says so.
Nature and taste: bitter, cold and nontoxic.
Indications: stuffy hot air, chest heat insulation, improving eyesight and calming the heart, infantile epilepsy and convulsion, treating five scabies, killing three worms and hemorrhoids, and relieving croton toxin.
3 "Chinese Materia Medica" said.
The health care function of Chinese Materia Medica, which concentrates herbs, on aloe is summarized as follows: (1) catharsis, that is, laxative; ⑵ Regulating human immunity; (3) Anti-swelling; ⑷ Protect the liver; 5] Anti-gastric injury; [6] antibacterial; Once the tissue damage is repaired; ⑻ Protective effect on skin. Pharmacological effects of aloe vera
1, bactericidal effect: Aloe tincture is a very antibacterial substance, which can kill fungi, molds, bacteria, viruses and other germs, and inhibit and eliminate the development and reproduction of pathogens. The antibacterial and bactericidal bacteria of aloe are diphtheria, tetanus toxoid, pneumonia, lactic acid bacteria, dysentery bacteria, Escherichia coli, black death bacteria, cholera bacteria, otitis media and cystitis.
2, anti-inflammatory effect: Aloe's slow grinding enzyme combined with vascular tension can be anti-inflammatory. In particular, aloe polysaccharide can enhance the body's resistance to diseases and cure chronic diseases such as dermatitis, chronic nephritis, cystitis and bronchitis.
3. Moisturizing beauty effect: Aloe polysaccharide and vitamins have good nutrition, moisturizing and whitening effects on human skin. Especially for young girls, acne is the most headache. Aloe vera has a good effect on eliminating acne.
Aloe vera and emodin belong to anthraquinone glycosides, which can make hair soft, shiny, relaxed and refreshing, and have the effect of dandruff removal. Therefore, aloe cosmetics such as aloe beauty cream, aloe skin cream and aloe hair dye cream occupy 80% of the European cosmetics market.
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 ab \ aloemann \ aloetin. 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.
12. Insect-proof and antiseptic function: Aloe juice has good disinfection and antiseptic function.
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.

First, the method of use
Aloe vera not only has a variety of medicinal effects, but also has many ways to use it, mainly for oral administration and external use.
1, oral
The easiest and quickest way to get the drug effect is to eat fresh leaves directly. You can also make fresh leaves into thin slices, sweet and sour stains, juice or fry them. Chewing raw aloe mesophyll can play a good role in conditioning and health care. It is advisable to eat15g of leaves every time. If raw chewing aloe leaves is not suitable, you can take fresh leaf juice. Adults take one spoonful each time, 2-3 times a day, and the dosage of children and the elderly can be reduced appropriately. Make tea or wine with dry leaves, make powder or granule medicine, make liquid juice, etc. Are all effective methods for oral administration.
2. External use
Aloe leaves are rich in mucilage. This liquid has the functions of preventing ulcer, promoting wound healing, stimulating cell growth and stopping bleeding. For external use, it can be directly applied with fresh leaves or medicated wine made of aloe. The external application method is relatively safe. Pay attention to choosing aloe leaves with high maturity, and the curative effect will be better.
Second, matters needing attention
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. Choose the variety of aloe, pay attention to its characteristics and usage, and prescribe the right medicine according to the cause. Proper use of aloe vera can achieve the best results. Don't overdo it or rush for success.
Correctly distinguish between the use of traditional Chinese medicine aloe (dry block) and fresh aloe, especially some inflammation, fresh aloe juice is much more effective than traditional Chinese medicine aloe.
Children with weak constitution should not take too much aloe vera, and allergic people will have red, swollen and rough skin.
Pregnant women and menstruating women are forbidden to take aloe vera. In ancient times, aloe was used as a gynecological medicine to treat amenorrhea and other symptoms. Because aloe can make the organs in female pelvic congestion and promote the movement of uterus. Therefore, pregnant women or menstrual women can easily cause abdominal pain, leading to bleeding and severe bleeding.
Aloe vera is not suitable for patients with hemorrhoid bleeding and nosebleeds.
The first time you eat aloe vera, you should have a skin test first. If there is no abnormality, you can use. Because some people are allergic to aloe vera, such as redness, tingling, pimples and abdominal pain. Severe abdomen will have a burning sensation. If you take it orally for the first time, if you have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, some are temporary. If this happens frequently, the drug should be suspended, reduced or heated. If allergic people want to eat, they can take a small amount for external use or oral administration, and then slowly increase it after the body adapts. American regulatory commission certification
1975 aloe vera has been certified by FDA as an over-the-counter drug for constipation. 1998, three kinds of aloe were certified. The FDA requires manufacturers to submit additional safety information before June 2 1, 1, 999, which may restrict the sale of aloe as an over-the-counter medicine for constipation.
Please go to /SrcShow.asp for details of the beauty function of aloe? Src_ID= 179 Beauty skin comes from aloe vera, which is whiter, more tender and smoother.
As early as BC14th century, Queen Neferti of Egypt used aloe vera to beautify her face, giving her delicate and fair skin and soft and smooth hair.
In ancient China, there were also records of aloe as a beauty product, such as Miscellanies of Lingnan: ... leaves are thick and sharp, but there are thorns on the edges, which will not blossom or bear fruit. Starting from the roots, they become more fragrant and their leaves are broken, which makes them beautiful ... Good people paint their hands with luster instead of oil, which is effective, also known as Luo, like a mountain. "
After World War II, the United States and many countries carried out systematic development and research, which expanded the functional fields of aloe. Besides medicine and food, it was also widely used in beauty cosmetics. Japanese, Korean and China Taiwan Province Province have also conducted research, utilization and development of new products.
In the late 1980s, aloe beauty craze rose in China. 1987, Shanghai Daily Chemicals Factory produced a series of beauty products, including nutrition cream, nutrition honey, sunscreen cream, facial cleanser, powder cake, lipstick, mask, sunscreen water, shampoo and conditioner. It occupies a large market in China and is well received by consumers.
Aloe juice is a natural extract, which contains a variety of moisturizing agents and nutritional functions beneficial to human body. According to scientific research, aloe contains hydrated products of polysaccharides, such as glucose, mannan syrup, a small amount of uronic acid and calcium. There are also a few trace elements needed by human body, such as hydrating protease, biological hormones, hormones, protein, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Therefore, aloe vera has the following functions and has excellent beauty effects. Nutrition and moisturizing effect
Amino acids and compound polysaccharides contained in aloe constitute natural moisturizing factor (NMF). This natural moisturizing factor can replenish some water lost from the skin, restore the function of collagen, prevent facial wrinkles and keep the skin smooth, moist and elastic.
Because aloe contains polysaccharides and monosaccharides, and there is a trace of magnesium lactate, aloe gel has natural wettability, which delays the dehydration speed of cosmetic creams and shampoos. The experiment shows that adding aloe gel to oil-in-water emulsion can delay the evaporation rate of water.
Aloe vera gel can enhance water penetration. It can penetrate into the skin surface, allowing water to enter the tissue directly. Aloe vera gel increases its penetration into the skin due to hydrolysis, blocking and increasing the solubility of compounds, so it can enhance its penetration into the skin. As a bite seal, polysaccharide and mucilage form a solid covering layer, which can prevent the evaporation of water on the skin surface.
After investigation, aloe vera gel can be used in various products. It has been pointed out that aloe gel can obviously be used to moisten products. Gels can coexist not only with anions, but also with nonionic and cationic systems.
Adding aloe vera gel to soap is a particularly meaningful idea. Its function is to make soap clean without drying the skin. Due to the mild nature of the gel, the prepared soap has no danger of irritation.
Aloe shaving cream is another application of polysaccharide in soap products. In the recommended formula 4, the gel is both a lubricant and a wetting agent. Because of its viscosity, aloe can almost act as a protective layer between skin and beard like silicon.
Gels have been used in many products to relieve burns. In addition to the so-called callus, it can also keep moist on the injured skin, which is the basic condition for the formation of callus. An extremely simple product that has proved to be effective is a spray composed of lidocaine hydrochloride and aloe gel to relieve burns. It is a basic product. In people's minds, it is a natural product, not a medicine.
These are just a few aloe gel products that can be used. In any system that needs mild humidification, aloe gel can be used alone or together with other raw materials. Therefore, aloe vera gel is an ideal natural moisturizing factor in various cosmetics. Sunscreen function
Solar rays include infrared rays (>: 770 nm), visible light (400 ~ 770 nm) and ultraviolet rays (
In recent years, scientific research in dermatology has found that UVA ultraviolet rays account for 98% of the total energy of ultraviolet rays reaching human body, and its penetrating power to glass, clothes, water and human skin is far stronger than UVB ultraviolet rays. Although it has a slow effect on human skin, it will cause serious damage over time. UVA can induce photosensitivity and phototoxicity. In severe cases, it can also induce skin cancer. UVA is considered to be one of the main causes of skin aging.
Recent studies have pointed out that when people's skin is irradiated by ultraviolet rays, the main cause of sunburn is that ultraviolet rays will reduce and damage the immune function of the skin, which will reduce the resistance of the skin to foreign microorganisms and toxins, thus causing diseases and, in severe cases, forming tumors. Dr Faith strickland of the University of Texas Cancer Center pointed out that aloe vera gel is not only a sunscreen, but also can prevent ultraviolet rays from damaging the immune system, restore damaged immune function, cure sunburn and prevent the formation of skin cancer. It has achieved amazing results not only in the laboratory, but also in clinical trials, using aloe gel to treat sunburn. Experiments show that aloe polysaccharide can enhance and regulate immune function. Therefore, there is no doubt that aloe vera gel with sufficient concentration can play a role in sun protection in cosmetics, and can treat sunburn and prevent cancer.
Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, burn, scald, cut and other wound healing effects.
Aloe vera gel is coated on the wound to form a thin layer, which can prevent the invasion of external microorganisms. Can keep dry wounds moist, and the growth factor in the gel can directly stimulate the regeneration and repair of fibroblasts. Aloe vera gel can enhance the tensile strength of sore surface, promote the treatment of sore surface and promote healing. Taylor, a professor of pharmacology at Purdue University in the United States, proved that a peptide called kinin can produce a substance similar to burn pain, and aloe vera gel can inhibit the effect of kinin, that is, aloe vera gel can alleviate and eliminate pain. The anti-inflammatory, analgesic and wound healing effects of aloe vera gel have also been confirmed by all people who have used it. According to a survey of 5,000 readers in American Journal of Prevention, 97% of readers rated aloe as the most useful and popular herb, which can relieve pain and cure sores. Professor Taylor's article says that aloe ranks first among seven kinds of healthy herbs.
Aloe gel is an ideal carrier. For example, when hydrocortisone is applied to the skin, 99% of the epidermis that cannot penetrate into the skin is wasted. When the medicine is put into aloe gel for the first time, the gel can well penetrate into the skin, bring the medicine into the skin and enhance the therapeutic effect of the medicine. Therefore, aloe vera gel is also the best carrier to transport various drugs. immunomodulator
A normal immune system in an organism is a sign of health. Aloe vera gel contains a variety of active ingredients, which are dissolved in polar water of gel and cooperate with each other to form a powerful regulatory effect on external immune function. Acetylmannan, a polysaccharide extracted from aloe gel by Carrington laboratory in the United States, has been approved by FDA as a drug for treating AIDS, which has shocked the aloe industry. In fact, acetyl mannan plays the role of immunomodulator, inhibiting the invasion and reproduction of microorganisms and viruses to organisms. Some researchers isolated aloe glycoprotein Aloin A from aloe, which has strong anti-tumor activity. Aloe vera is used to treat diabetes. Long-term use of anti-aging effects. , has been reported. In recent years, "International Aloe Science Association" proposed that aloe can be used as a functional food other than food, medicine and cosmetics, and can be taken regularly and quantitatively.
In a word, aloe is not omnipotent, but it undoubtedly plays a role in regulating the immune system and really plays a role in health care, beauty and treatment. Therefore, people naturally apply it to cosmetics, health foods and medicines, and it is the best choice to play its due role.
It's important to see this. A lot of aloe vera will certainly be useful to you.
