From Andrew- Is Aloe Vera fabulous for your skin?
Aloe VeraWell Andrew, that’s a really good question, though the answer depends upon who you ask. There are many naturopathic healers who are very enthusiastic about its use to treat many conditions including sunburns, psoriasis, osteoarthritis, high-cholesterol, with a cure for scars. It can be present in literally hundreds of skin products that happen to be widely available, usually such as lotions and sunblocks. The ancient Egyptians were using Aloe Vera since 4,000 BC where that it was known as the “plant of immortality”.
Medical doctors have a different opinion for the matter. If you had been to ask them about purposes of Aloe, the response would most likely be, “there isn’t enough scientific evidence showing it’s a fair treatment for anything”. Given the larger number of products available and anecdotal evidence seemingly supporting its use, I’m one medical expert that finds it problematical to argue Aloe doesn’t have all, but let’s think about the evidence.

There are two substances the Aloe Vera plant produces that happen to be used as medicines- gel and latex. The gel will be the clear, jelly-like stuff perfectly found on the center in the plant’s leaves. Surrounding the gel, under the plant’s skin, can be a yellow material referred to as latex. There are some medicines which might be made from your entire crushed leaf which contain both gel and latex, but generally latex is taken orally plus the gel is mostly used topically. Although some claim taking gel orally has benefits.
