Aloe vera originated in the Middle East and South Africa, and only after it was introduced to Guangdong in the Song Dynasty did it spread all over China, and it was cultivated in the garden. Aloe vera is used as medicine by cutting its leaves, collecting the juice, boiling it in a pot into paste, pouring it into a container, and condensing it into a reddish-brown translucent resin sample. Its taste is extremely bitter, its nature is cold and cool, and it has an offensive stench. It is mainly used for treating diseases such as liver fire, dizziness, constipation due to heat, amenorrhea in women, infantile convulsion, insect accumulation, hemorrhoids and flaccidity.
The medicinal value of aloe can be summarized as follows, but aloe is bitter and cool, so it should be used with caution for people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.
Enhance the body's resistance and immunity
The fundamental reason for the efficacy of aloe vera is the comprehensive effect of various components of aloe vera. The immune activation of aloe polysaccharide can improve the disease resistance of the body. The use of aloe in the treatment of various chronic diseases can enhance the curative effect and accelerate the recovery of the body.
concis
Incision of the leaves washed with hot water, direct application and compression of the wound with the incision, has the functions of stopping bleeding, relieving pain and promoting wound healing, and can also be used to treat insect bites, skin color, hemorrhoids, tinea pedis, etc.
Duodenal ulcer
Aloe vera, as a bitter stomach tonic and laxative, has been included in the pharmacopoeia of many countries, and we will not discuss it here. It has been proved that aloe vera is very effective in the treatment of gastric ulcer.
Gastric ulcer is a modern disease caused by fast pace, high tension, irregular lifestyle, and various psychological factors and flexible use of drugs. The main components of gastric juice are pepsin and hydrochloric acid, which are used to digest protein foods. The mucus component in gastric juice can form a protective film on the surface of gastric wall,
diabetes
The occurrence of diabetes is a disease caused by the lack of insulin or the obstruction of insulin. In recent years, overnutrition, insufficient exercise and high tension are the main causes of diabetes, and its high incidence has become a representative disease of modern people. Diabetes can be divided into two types: insulin-dependent and insulin-independent. The former is the lack of insulin secretion by islet β cells, which is related to heredity. Insulin needs to be used for life, which is common in children and youth. Non-dependent type is mostly caused by overeating, lack of exercise and obesity, mainly due to the decrease or dysfunction of insulin receptors on cell surface membranes.
obesity
Obesity is a topic that modern people are generally concerned about. It can be a symptom or a disease. Obesity not only affects beauty and personality, but more importantly, the result of obesity will lead to fatal diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes. Therefore, the problem of "losing weight" has become the focus of people's attention. First of all, it is necessary to find out whether it is obese or not. According to medicine, obesity can be called when the fat exceeds 15% of the standard weight. More than 10% is obesity tendency. You can calculate it according to a simple formula: standard weight = (height (cm)-100)*0.9 Apart from genetic and endocrine factors, the main cause of obesity is eating more and exercising less. The intake of energy exceeds the consumption of excess energy substances, which are converted into fat and stored in the body to form obesity. Taking aloe can reduce weight, mainly because aloe is rich in vitamins, chlorophyll and amino acids, but not sugar and neutral fat, which are high-calorie energy substances, so it is an ideal diet food. B, aloe contains cellulose and gel, which can inhibit the feeling of fasting and prevent overeating. C. Aloe vera can eliminate defecation, promote gastrointestinal activities, and regulate the normal digestion, absorption and excretion rate of the body. D, aloe can promote the metabolism of the whole body, especially the metabolism of fat, which can eliminate excessive fat. E, aloe has diuretic effect.
To sum up, taking aloe juice, aloe tea, raw leaves of aloe, dry powder of aloe and aloe dishes regularly can not only prevent and treat other diseases, beautify, but also lose weight, which is probably the reason why aloe can be recognized and liked by the public for losing weight.
Of course, in the process of losing weight, it should not be too hasty, but should be gradual. It is also necessary to eat less high-calorie food and do more exercise.
Stomatitis and periodontal disease
Inflammation of oral mucosa and gums is very painful and affects eating. Use 3-4 cm aloe leaves to remove thorns, clean them, grind them into mud, dilute them with water for 4 times, rinse them once every 2 hours, and stay in your mouth for a few seconds when rinsing them, the effect is better.
hypertension
This is a well-known disease. It may be primary or secondary. There are many reasons for hypertension, such as heredity, obesity, kidney disease, excessive fatigue, mental stress, and eating too much salt. What is worrying is that if we ignore it, it is likely to cause fatal diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage, heart disease and heart failure. Therefore, patients with hypertension should be prepared to take medicine for life.
Aloe vera is not a hypotensive drug, and it has no direct and rapid hypotensive effect, but it can soften blood vessels, increase the elasticity of blood vessels and reduce the content of cholesterol in blood? Patients with hypertension should not stop using antihypertensive drugs because they start taking aloe. It is best to cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan, not to mention the treatment itself is a long process, so they must insist on taking aloe and take the same method as before.
haemorrhoids
Varicose veins around the anus form venous tumors called hemorrhoids. The folk saying "ten men and nine hemorrhoids" shows that this disease is very common. Urination, standing upright or sitting for a long time can cause abdominal pressure to increase, and venous reflux around anus is blocked to form hemorrhoids. The main symptoms are pain and bleeding, and long-term bleeding can cause hemorrhagic anemia. Oral aloe powder or fresh leaf juice is very effective. You can also use dry powder and vaseline to make 50% ointment or aloe juice, and apply it around the cleaned anus.
Bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis
When asthma attacks, due to spasmodic contraction of bronchial smooth muscle. It makes the tibia of bronchial tube narrow and causes poor ventilation, which is characterized by chest tightness and tightness, cyanosis in lips and nails, which is very painful. Hormone and oxygen therapy are often used in clinic. But it is not the fundamental solution, because asthma is an allergic disease, and many allergens (such as fish, shrimp, pollen, dust, cold, chemical gases, drugs, excitement, etc.) that induce asthma are not easy to be straight, but can be soft-skinned, and the blood neon can be stolen, and the blood ash can be broken, and the low B is made of zinc. 鲋鲋 鲋 鲋? About? Is it awkward enough? Ч? Xiongman? People who have insomnia, swollen gums and bloody squid hands don't want to take Sha J instead. Chronic bronchitis is also a common disease, which is difficult to cure. Taking Aloe regularly not only enhances the body's immunity, but also has an effect on chronic bronchitis.
cancer
Whether or not to tell the patient the real situation of cancer is still controversial. This alone shows that cancer is really terrible. If the cure rate of cancer is high, it will not be a problem to tell the patient. Modern science is changing with each passing day, and there are many ways to treat cancer. Although they have certain effects, they are not ideal. Therefore, scientists continue to explore and find drugs and means to treat cancer.
Aloe contains anti-cancer ingredients. In the 1980s, Dr. Tomita of Japan experimentally proved that aloe can cure cancer, which was later confirmed by other scholars at home and abroad. According to the data from the laboratory of Saiwei Aloe Company and West China University of Medical Sciences, it is considered that the antioxidant substances in aloe can directly inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and decompose carcinogens to promote their excretion. Aloin A (glycoprotein with molecular weight 1.8 million) is a rare immune activating agent, which can enhance the activity level of natural killer cells in vivo, activate macrophage system and increase white blood cells, thus enhancing the immunity of the body. Aloe phytoagglutinin is another immune substance contained in aloe, which can induce cell division and activation related to immunity. Such as promoting the production of TNF (tumor necrosis factor). Specific killing of cancer cells. Therefore, aloe has the function of preventing and treating cancer. Many scholars at home and abroad believe that aloe is the most promising plant medicine for cancer treatment in 2 1 century!
The treatment of cancer is a long process, so it is necessary to establish confidence and insist on taking it. Aloe powder, fresh aloe juice or fresh leaves can be taken. People who usually eat more aloe dishes and have a family history of cancer should take aloe as soon as possible to prevent it.
gout
Gout is a disease caused by the increase of uric acid in the blood, and 99% of the patients are men. This disease can be treated with food therapy and weight control, and it also needs lifelong treatment, so we should not be careless. The reason why aloe is effective in treating gout is that aloe can promote the metabolism and decomposition of uric acid, alkalize body fluids and relieve pain. Dry powder can be taken orally, and gel can be applied to the painful part like neuralgia.
Aloe vera cures skin ulcers.
1July, 976, a patient in Louisiana, Mott? Heila suffered from bilateral scleroderma for a long time. The severely hardened tissues on both sides of her feet went from her ankles to the lower ends of her knees. The condition worsened with extreme pain, and the ulcers at the lower parts of her feet almost went deep into the bones. Soon, scleroderma worsened, and Heila's doctor Abbott? Elvin? Clark is worried that Mr. Heila may commit suicide (which often happens in such extreme cases). But later, according to Clark, Mr. Heila was told to treat this kind of disease with aloe, and his condition began to improve.
1July, 976, Mott? Heila is hospitalized, using "Stable" brand aloe juice as mud dressing for eight hours a day, and it is recommended to take aloe juice orally during the rest of the day.
In late September, the patient said that the treatment effect was very good and he could start walking. 1February 9, only two places still retain cyan black, but their area has been greatly reduced; By September of 1977, only a little scar remained on the surface.
Dr Clark's evaluation of aloe vera is:
... before using aloe vera, I considered a lot of physical therapy, and there was no result; I have also used the methods provided by other dermatologists, and there is no result … I have also considered that this patient may be related to diabetes, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol and other accompanying diseases, but the effect is not great. Now, I say bluntly that only aloe vera can cure a large area of ulcers on the lower limbs.
Aloe vera cures colon ulcer.
1979 In May, a woman in Texas, Rusk, suffered from severe colon ulcer. Several doctors tried the usual methods to treat it, but it failed, and the colon ulcer began to deteriorate. Soon, her attending doctor had to consider using colostomy, a widely used and effective operation, but it was disfigured. Rusik is young and beautiful, and the consequences of disfigurement make her unbearable, and it is also accompanied by the danger of turning into cancer.
Rusk's consultant is Richard? Russell, he has used all kinds of acceptable methods, but they are all useless. Dr. Russell began to try some unfamiliar methods. He is a person who tries to combine innovation with practicality, not just relying on medical dogma. He constantly used aloe vera for hundreds of patients, initially for external use. Although there was no clinical data to prove that aloe vera could be used for external use at that time, he knew that stabilized aloe vera was sterile and could be used in prescriptions without any taboo.
"Rusk, this is the last attempt," the doctor told her. "If this method doesn't work, I have to remove your colon and replace it with a bag."
Dr Russell asked Rusk to contact me and take my advice. I recommend that she take four ounces 100% stabilized aloe juice orally every day, and connect it with oral medicine; She was also advised to use aloe juice as enema twice a day, and my method was completely adopted.
In just four days, Rusik's colitis improved obviously. Thirty days later, Dr. Russell reported to me that the patient had recovered to a great extent, and there was no need for colon opening surgery. There are basically no problems in the cases of using aloe at our suggestion. There are hundreds of cases here to prove that the application of aloe not only covers all fields of medicine, but also can be used in bacteriology, chemistry, cosmetic surgery and some new fields being developed.
Aloe vera for treating burn and cancer.
1953, Lushbaugh and Hale experimented on animals with aloe under the supervision of the Radiation Burn Center of the American Atomic Energy Commission. They experimented with ten rabbits. First, they were burned by radiation, and then they were treated with fresh aloe juice and aloe ointment. After a few months, their results are as follows:
When the ulcer caused by 28,000 equivalent rays is treated with aloe, it can be completely cured within two months, no matter in the deterioration or recovery stage; More than four months without treatment can't completely heal.
1959, e? P? Dr Pendergrass found that the juice extracted from aloe leaves was beneficial to the curative effect of radiation reaction. In clinical trials in various hospitals in the future, it was found that aloe ointment was faster than other drugs in treating burns by more than 50%.
In the same year, all kinds of test results were submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The answer of the Food and Drug Administration is: "… In view of this, the FDA recognizes that aloe ointment does have the function of regenerating skin tissue."
At this point, the application of aloe in the treatment of X-ray and radioactive lesions can achieve * * * knowledge. Radiation burn, especially nuclear leakage, is the focus of government and medical circles. Radiation burn has a short onset period and a long incubation period, and the most representative is canceration. So it is not surprising that it has become the focus of attention.
