INTRODUCTION

COMMON NAME       : Aloe vera, aloe, burn plant, elephant’s gall

BOTANICAL NAME   : Aloe barbadensis Miller

FAMILY                       :  Liliaceae 

                                        

Aloe vera is a succulent plant species that probably originated in northern Africa.

The species does not have any naturally occurring populations, although closely related aloes do occur in northern Africa.The species is frequently cited as being used in herbal medicine since the beginning of the first century AD. Extracts from A. vera are widely used in the cosmetics and alternative medicine industries, being marketed as variously having rejuvenating, healing, or soothing properties. There is, however, little scientific evidence of the effectiveness or safety of Aloe vera extracts for either cosmetic or medicinal purposes, and what positive evidence is available is frequently contradicted by other studies.

The plant is distributed throughout the India.
Aloe vera, known as Ghee-guar-ka-palhtha in India.
It has become completely naturalized, especially in the hot dry valley of northwestern Himalaya. It is planted as a hedge in house premises, runs wild in desert conditions and is also extensively cultivated due to its medicinal properties. The Aloe vera habitat needs direct sunrays and well-drained soil. When these plants are grown outdoors, they need the warmth of sunrays and protection from the cool weather because the plant consists of 95% water.

The semi-tropical plant, Aloe Vera, has a long and illustrious history dating from biblical times. It has been mentioned throughout recorded history and given a high ranking as an all-purpose herbal plant.

Aloe's thick, tapered, spiny leaves grow from a short stalk near ground level. It is not a cactus, but a member of the tree lily family, know as Aloe barbadensis. Aloe is related to other members of the Lily family such as the onion, garlic and turnip families. Aloe's relationship to the lily family is evident from the tubular yellow flowers produced annually in the spring that resemble those of the Easter lily.

There are over 250 species of aloe grown around the world. However, only two species are grown today commercially, with Aloe barbadensis Miller and Aloe aborescens being the most popular. The Aloe plant is grown in warm tropical areas and cannot survive freezing temperatures.

The leaves of the Aloe plant grow from the base in the rosette pattern. Mature plants can grow as tall as 2 and a half inches to 4 feet with the average being around 28 to 36 inches in length. Each plant usually has 12-16 leaves that, when mature, may weigh up to three pounds. The plants can be harvested every 6 to 8 weeks by removing 3 to 4 leaves per plant.

Aloe Vera has long been a popular houseplant. Often called the 'miracle plant' or the 'natural healer', Aloe Vera is a plant of many surprises. It flourishes in warm and dry climates, and to many people it looks like a cactus with fleshy thorny leaves. In fact it is a member of the Lily family, staying moist where other plants wither and die by closing its pores to prevent moisture loss.

The lower leaf of the plant is used for medicinal purpose.
If the lower leaf is sliced open, the gel obtained can be applied on the affected area of the skin.Leaves and seeds are the two edible parts of Aloe Vera.

Aloe Vera has been found described in writings in many different cultures and as far back as the Greek, Egyptians, and Roman eras. References have also been found in writings from the Indian and Chinese early cultures. Ancient records show that the benefits of Aloe Vera have been known for centuries, with its therapeutic advantages and healing properties surviving for over 4000 years.

The earliest record of Aloe Vera is on a Sumerian tablet dating from 2100 BC.

Its antiquity was first discovered in 1862 in an Egyptian papyrus dated 1550 BC. Egyptian Queens associated its use with their physical beauty.

It was used to great effect by Greek and Roman physicians. Researchers have found that both the ancient Chinese and Indian used Aloe Vera.

In the Philippines it is used with milk for kidney infections.

Aloes are referred to in the Bible, and legend suggests that Alexander the Great conquered the island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean to secure supplies of Aloes to treat the battle wounds of his soldiers.

Today in Japan Aloe Vera is commonly used as an ingredient in commercially available yogurt.
There are also many companies which produce Aloe Vera beverages.

People in Tamil Nadu, a state of India, often prepare a curry using Aloe Vera which is taken along with Indian bread (nan bread) or rice.

Aloe Vera is a plant that has historical references dating back over 5000, where it can be seen on the tombs of the pharaohs. Apparently it was an herbal remedy used in embalming mummies, both as a superb preservative but also as an excellent preventive agent against tuberculosis and other respiratory complications innate to that kind of work. Fast forward a thousand years and the Europeans began using it as an important ingredient in their herbal based medicines. The earliest recorded pharmacological usage was recorded in ancient Sumeria about 1750 B.C. where it was considered an excellent treatment for stomach irritations and nausea.

There is evidence of both Chinese and Egyptians using Aloe Vera to treat burns, wounds and to reduce fevers. American Indians called Aloe "The Wand of Heaven". They believed than anyone touched by Aloes' gel would be cured of their skin disorders. Also, the legend says that Cleopatra used Aloe Vera as part of her beauty regime.

Although many still consider Aloe Vera to be a folk remedy, it is important to remember that two-thirds of the world's population is treated with herbs and plant products that are not only

effective, but offer benefits that are equal or superior to the synthesized, chemically-derived remedies of the western world

Health Benefits Aloe vera

Helps digestion: Drinking Aloe vera juice naturally allows the body to cleanse the digestive system. It encourages the bowels to move and helps with elimination if a person is constipated. And if you have diarrhea, it will help slow it down.

Increases energy levels: Our diets include many substances which can cause fatigue and exhaustion. Taken regularly, Aloe vera juice ensures a greater feeling of well-being, allowing energy levels to increase and also helps maintain a healthy body weight.

Builds immunity: It is especially great for those who have chronic immune disorders like polysaccharides or fibromyalgia since the polysaccharides in Aloe vera juice stimulate macrophages, the white blood cells that fight viruses.

Detoxifies: Aloe vera juice is a great natural aid to detox. With our stressful lives, the pollution around us and the junk foods we eat, we all need to cleanse our systems from time to time. Drinking Aloe vera juice provides a fantastically rich cocktail of vitamins, minerals and trace elements to help our bodies deal with these stresses and strains every day.

Reduces inflammation: It improves joint flexibility and helps in the regeneration of body cells. It strengthens joint muscles, which therefore reduces pain and inflammation in weakened or aged joints.

DISTRIBUTION

Origin and geographic distribution:

Plants of the genus Aloe belong to the old world and are indigenous to Eastern and Southern Africa, the Canary Islands and Spain. The species spread to the Mediterranean basin and reached the West Indies, India, China and other countries in the 16th Century; and certain species are now cultivated for commercial purposes, especially in some of the West Indian islands of the north coast of South America. It is also cultivated throughout India.

There are approximately 360 species and sub-species in the succulent plant genus Aloe, distributed in tropical and sub-tropical Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and certain islands of the Indian Ocean, with the centres of diversity being South Africa (Transvaal) and the region of Eritrea, Ethiopia and Northern Somalia.. In East Africa, as defined by a review carried out by CITES (2003) there are nearly 200 taxa, many of which are naturally rare and confined to specific habitats. They grow best on rocky sites and hillsides in semi-arid lands and are drought tolerant.  Over 100 species are cultivated in the world with an overwhelming number of hybrids and cultivars.

Kenya has the greatest Aloe diversity amongst East African countries.  There are 57 species and sub species within the country. Close to 80 species of aloe are known to exist in Kenya, of which more than 80% of them are to be found in the rangelands. A lot of interest has been shown in aloes’ commercialisation in the semi-arid districts where they grow naturally in the wild. Their cultivation and industrialization in these areas would serve as a secure cash income in areas of uncertain food cultivation, improve environmental conservation and also increase household income as the plant is able to establish and survive under hostile conditions. Aloe is also popular garden and pot plant. 

In the United States, most of the aloe vera is grown in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, Florida and Southern California. Internationally, Aloe vera can be found in Mexico, the Pacific Rim countries, India, South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Australia and Africa.

The Aloe vera is a perennial, succulent plant with fleshy leaves. It is a native of North Africa. Now the plant is much more widespread and can be found growing throughout Europe and North America as well as South America, the Middle East, China, India, Pakistan and Australia.

Aloe plants may be found in temperate zones as cultivated crops or ornamentals, but must be protected from freezing water. Various species range from tiny, stemless plants only and inch or two high, to climbing and trailing forms, tall clustering shrubs, and tree-like specimens, 30 to 60 feet high, with trunks as much as 10 feet in circumference, which may be found in remote districts of Southwest Africa and Natal.

ALOE VERA PLANT

Aloe is more or less succulent shrubby perennials, spiked, with or without organized white spots and may vary in both size and height with fleshy fibrous roots.  Leaves are arranged spirally in a rosette, very thick and fleshy and containing a colourless, yellow, brown or purple sap for which they are valued.  It is very cactus-like in its characteristics. This unique plant also belongs to a larger plant family called "Xeroids". Studies on the aloe leaf reveal that there are over 75 nutrients and 200 active compounds, including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids, and 12 vitamins in the plant.  The medicinal and nutritional possibilities for members of the aloe family are varied .

Aloes do best in a warm environment with an ample amount of strong light. They can do well with some direct sunlight part of the day. They do not tolerate freezing temperatures. They can grow quite large in a greenhouse and need only be re-potted when absolutely necessary. Cut the lower leaves for medicinal use as the plant grows from the center outward. Do not over water and you need only fertilize moderately during the warmer months. Good drainage is essential.

CHEMICAL INVESTIGATION

Aloe vera has marvelous medicinal properties.  Scientists have discovered over 150 nutritional ingredients in Aloe vera.  There seems to be no single magic ingredient. They all work together in a synergistic way to create healing and health giving benefits. The ten main areas of chemical constituents of Aloe vera include: amino acids, anthraquinones, enzymes, minerals, vitamins, lignins, monosaccharide, polysaccharides, salicylic acid, saponins, and sterols. 

The amino acids in Aloe vera are the building blocks of protein and influence our brain function.Humans require 22 amino acids and the body will make all of them except for eight essential amino acids which our body gets from the food/drinks that we take in. Every one of the essential amino acids are available in Aloe vera and they include isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, valine,and tryptophan. Some of the other non-essential amino acids found in Aloe vera include alanine, arginine, asparagine, cysteine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, proline, serine, tyrosine, glutamine, and aspartic acid.

Located in the sap of the leaves you will find twelve anthraquinones, a phenolic compound that has stimulating effects on the bowels and antibiotic properties. In small amounts the anthraquinones do not have a purgative effect.  They help with absorption from the gastro intestinal tract and have anti-microbial and pain killing effects.Too many anthraquinones can produce abdominal pain and diarrhea. The most important  anthraquinones are aloin and emodin. They are anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and analgesic.The anthraquinones in Aloe vera breakup residue, pus and lifeless cells, bring blood to the region and flush out material from the wounds and ulcers.

Enzymes act as biochemical catalysts that break down the proteins we eat into amino acids.  The enzymes turn the food we eat into fuel for every cell in our body, enabling the cells to function and work efficiently.“The main enzymes found in Aloe vera include Amylase (breaks down sugars and starches), Bradykinase (stimulates immune system, analgesic, anti-inflammatory), Catalase (prevents accumulation of water in the body), Cellulase (aids digestion - cellulose), Lipase (aids digestion - fats), Oxidase, Alkaline Phosphatase, Proteolytiase (hydrolyses proteins into their constituent elements), Creatine Phosphokinase (aids metabolism), and Carboxypeptidase.”

The key is the vitamins and minerals we take in. For instance if we lack in zinc and/or Vitamin B6, our body will not be able to break down or use protein.  Because of the healing properties of Aloe vera and its synergistic action, the body receives what it needs to work properly. Aloe vera, an anti-oxidant rich plant, contains vitamins such as A, C, and E plus the minerals, zinc, and selenium. Anti-oxidants help boost the immune system and combat free radicals in the body.

It also contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12 along with choline, calcium (teeth and bone formation, muscle contractions and heart health), magnesium(strengthens teeth and bones, maintains healthy muscles and nervous system, activates enzymes), zinc (speeds up wound healing, mental quickness assists with healthy teeth, bones, skin, immune system, and digestive aid), manganese (activates enzymes, builds healthy bones, nerves and tissues), chromium (assists with protein metabolism and balancing of blood sugars), selenium which all influence our brain performance.

Additional minerals found in Aloe vera include copper (important for red blood cells, skin and hair pigment), iron (involved in oxygen transportation and making of hemoglobin in red blood cells), potassium (helps with fluid balance), phosphorus (helps build bones and teeth, assists with metabolism and body pH), and sodium (regulates body liquids, helps with nerve and muscle performance, and helps deliver nutrients into body cells).Aloe vera also contains the trace minerals of rhodium and iridium used in cancer and tumor research experiments.

Another component of Aloe vera consists of the lignins, a major structural material of cellulose content, that allows for penetrative properties.   Aloe vera can soak into the skin up to seven layers deep. Lignins penetrate the toughened areas of the skin being beneficial for skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis.

Major chemical constituents

Aloe contains as its major and active principles hydroxylanthrone derivatives,mainly of the aloe-emodin-anthrone 10-C-glucoside type. The major constituent is known as barbaloin

(aloin) (15–40%). It also contains hydroxyaloin (about 3%). Barbaloin (aloin) is in fact a mixture of aloin.

USES OF ALOE VERA

MEDICINAL USE

Aloe vera has been used externally to treat various skin conditions such as cuts, treat first and second degree burns, and eczema. It is alleged that sap from Aloe vera eases pain and reduces inflammation. It has antiseptic and antibiotic properties which make it highly valuable in treating cuts and abrasions.

Aloe vera gel is useful for dry skin conditions, especially eczema around the eyes and sensitive facial skin. Aloe vera juice may help some people with ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease.

Aloe has been marketed as a remedy for coughs, wounds, ulcers, gastritis, diabetes, cancer, headaches, arthritis, immune-system deficiencies, and many other conditions when taken internally. However, the general internal use is as a laxative.

The lower leaf of the plant is used for medicinal purpose. If the lower leaf is sliced open, the gel obtained can be applied on the affected area of the skin. As a medicine it is used as:

Protector of human immune system : The whole leaf extract galvanizes the cells of immune system. The phagocytes increase their scavenging activities, thus cleansing the body and kicking off a whole cascade of protective actions which strengthen immunity.

It is known that famous Egypt Queen Cleopatra made herself massaged with aloe vera to keep her skin fresh.

Improves digestive system

Aloe juice helps in digestive disorders. Constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome etc are cured by the flushing action. The deposits of toxins and unwanted substances in our diet which keep accumulating in intestines prevent the absorption of essential nutrients causing nutritional deficiency, lethargy, constipation, lower back ache. Aloe juice helps flush out these residues boosting the digestion and giving a greater feeling of well-being.

In arthritis: Being a stimulant to the immune system, a powerful anti-inflammatory, an analgesic and able to speed up cell growth, it repairs arthritis damaged tissue. While conventional allopathic treatment only relieves pain, Aloe helps in repair process by regenerating cells and detoxifying the affected area.

1In stress: Aloe Vera juice is just the thing to get our machinery smoothly and effectively going.

2In cancer: Aloe juice enables the body to heal itself from cancer and the damage done by radio and chemotherapy which destroy healthy immune cells crucial to the recovery.

3In diabetes: It lowers glucose and tri-glyceride levels in diabetic patients. Effects can be seen from the second week of the treatment. to lower the glucose level of a person with diabetes. However, Aloe Vera is yet to be proven as an treatment for the disease though it is to some extent administered for type2 diabetes. Despite many research findings prove the efficiency of Aloe Vera for hypoglycemia treatment; it is still necessary to perform more experiments to establish the plant’s effectiveness. It may help to lower down the glucose level which is the main cause associated with the disease.

Sometimes administration of Aloe Vera may result in sudden hypoglycemic condition in patients and more so if taken along with allopathic treatment. It always advisable to consult your medical practitioner before taking Aloe Vera as a solo drug in this era of personalizes medicine.

4In hepatitis: Extract of aloe juice has been shown to have beneficial effects on liver and alleviate symptoms considerably in chronic hepatitis patients.

5In heart disease: Addition of isabgol and Aloe Vera juice to the diet of patients of angina pectoris, results in marked reduction of serum cholesterol and tri-glycerides and increase in level of HDL.

6In AIDS: A daily dose of min. 1200mg. of active ingredients of aloe vera showed substantial improvement in AIDS symptoms. Says Dr. Pulse, Aloe is to an AIDS patient as insulin is to a diabetic.

7In Piles: Aloes have been found useful in piles, mixed in small quantities with sulphur. It is applied by natives externally in the form of lep -paste- in pleurisy A sweetmeat, halwa,is prepared from the pulp of the leaves and given in cases of piles, and apparently with very good effect

7In wound and skin disease: Aloe vera gel is excellent for easing first degree burns, relieves inflammation and accelerates healing. Aloe vera gel has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral effects and helps heal minor wounds. It lessens painful effects of shingles, reduces symptoms of psoriasis and eases heartburns and ulcers.

9Ayurvedic Medicine: Aloe is used as important Ayurvedic medicines. It is used in

10Jaundice - A few drops of aloe juice is installed in the nostrils to control jaundice.

Liver disorders - Aloe juice with turmeric powder should be taken twice a day.

11Difficult urination - Continuous diluted aloe juice should be taken time to time to alleviate this condition.

12In wounds - Boil aloe leaves and takes the fleshy part of the inside of the leaves to use as a poultice over wounds.

As a cosmetic - Aloe is one of the best known moisturizers and used in creams and shampoos.

Also used as organic manure in agro field.

Aloe Vera is the species of the succulent plant and has thick fleshy stems with spiny leaves. The fleshy stem contains the Aloe Vera juice which is used for various purposes since the beginning of the first century as an excellent home remedy. The juice and the gel are used in every medicinal, cosmetic, heath treatment and also in your regular diet.

The aloe Vera juice and the gel are powerhouses of antioxidants, antibiotics, work as stimulator of cell growth and and have scar and pain inhibitor properties. They are rich in the following vitamins and minerals.

1.	Calcium
2.	Sodium
3.	Iron
4.	Potassium
5.	Manganese
6.	Zinc
7.	Folic acid
8.	Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, E
9.	Amino acids

Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe Vera Gel is the colourless mucilaginous gel obtained from the parenchymatous cells in the fresh leaves of Aloe vera (L) Burm.

Aloe vera gel has earned a reputation as a miracle drug. It is effective in burn treatment, because of its anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. Its healing properties may be due to rehydrating, insulating and protective activities resulting from the high water content. The major constituents are polysaccharides (mainly acemannan), lectins, sterols and enzymes, and the effect is assumed to be a synergy between the polysaccharide base and various components. In addition, acemannan has shown immune stimulating, anticancer and antiviral effects. The use of the gel has been approved in the United States for treatment of leukaemia in cats, of fibrosarcoma in dogs, for wound healing in humans and to prevent dry socket (‘alveolar osteitis’) in humans.

CULTIVATION TECHNIQUES

Growth and development

Aloe species follow the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). CAM plants can fix CO₂ at night and photosynthesize with closed stomata during the day, thus minimizing water loss. This, plus their succulent leaves and stems, and the presence of a thick cuticle, makes them well adapted to dry conditions. Birds are the most important pollinators of Aloe but in Africa honeybees also play a role. In Africa Aloe vera flowers and fruits normally, but elsewhere fruit formation is rare. Failure to set fruit is presumed to be caused by pollen sterility and self-incompatibility

ECOLOGY

Aloe vera grows in a wide range of climatic conditions. It prefers sandy or loamy, well-drained soils and can grow in nutritionally poor soil, but thrives on rich soils. It is tolerant of salinity. Established plants will survive drought quite well even though the root system is relatively shallow. Aloe vera is not very frost-hardy, but will survive a temperature of –3°C with only slight injury. It should be planted in full sun or light shade. During the winter months in the subtropics, the plant becomes dormant and utilizes very little moisture.
