1. Can aloe vera repair scars?

2. Aloe Vera Benefits

1. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory

Aloe vera tincture is a substance with strong antibacterial properties that can kill a variety of fungi, molds, bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, and inhibit and eliminate the development and reproduction of pathogens. Aloe vera's bradykininase combines with vasopressin to fight inflammation. In particular, aloe polysaccharides can enhance the body's resistance to disease and cure chronic diseases such as dermatitis, chronic nephritis, cystitis, bronchitis, etc.

2. Detoxification

Aloe vera itself is non-toxic, harmless, has no side effects, and does not produce antibodies. Ingredients such as aloetin and alomicin in aloe vera have the function of decomposing harmful substances in the body and can also eliminate toxins that invade the body from the outside. Aloe vera can be used to treat burn skin ulcers caused by radiation or nuclear radiation in the treatment of cancer. It not only has the effects of detoxification, anti-inflammation, and regeneration of new cells, but also can increase the white blood cells that have been reduced due to radiation therapy.

3. Promote wound healing

Aloe vera, trauma hormone and polyglycopeptide mannoside (Ke-2) have the effects of resisting viral infection and promoting wound healing and recovery. They have the functions of anti-inflammatory and bactericidal, absorbing heat and reducing swelling, softening the skin, and maintaining cell vitality. The combination of gelatin and callus acid also has wound healing activity. Therefore, it is an ideal medicine for treating trauma (hemorrhagic trauma and non-hemorrhagic trauma) without leaving scars.

4. Invigorate the stomach and promote bowel movement

The active ingredients in aloe vera, such as aloe-emodin and aloe-emodin, play a role in increasing appetite and relieving laxative effects. Taking aloe vera can strengthen stomach function and improve physical fitness. It can also restore the appetite of critically ill patients who have lost their appetite due to physical weakness. Aloe vera is the most effective medicine for treating constipation throughout history. Even in very severe constipation, taking aloe vera can relieve constipation within 8-12 hours. This is because the aloesin component increases the secretion of large intestinal fluid, increases the activity of lipase, and restores the disordered autonomic nervous function of the large intestine. Moreover, it does not have any side effects or drug dependence.

5. Analgesia and sedation

When your fingers are swollen and painful, or your toothache is unbearable, sticking aloe leaves on the affected area can eliminate the pain. For neuralgia, gout, muscle pain, etc., taking aloe vera internally and applying it externally also has an analgesic effect. Aloe vera can also prevent and treat hangovers, motion sickness, seasickness, etc.

6. Anti-insect and anti-corrosion

Aloe vera juice has good disinfection and antiseptic effects. Apply aloe vera juice on your skin in summer to prevent mosquitoes from biting. Colombians often apply aloe vera juice on their children's feet to prevent insect infestation. Spray aloe vera juice on doors, windows and indoors to keep flies away. The Dai people use aloe vera juice to prevent flies from entering the house.

7. Beauty and skin care

The aloin in aloe vera can act as a sunscreen for the skin. Other ingredients such as various sugars, amino acids, active enzymes, aloe-emodin, etc. have a good moisturizing effect on human skin, can accelerate skin metabolism, enhance skin elasticity, making it appear soft, smooth, and plump, and can also eliminate acne, freckles, and chapped skin.

8. Strengthens the heart and promotes blood circulation

Calcium isocitrate in aloe vera has the effects of strengthening the heart, promoting blood circulation, softening hardened arteries, lowering cholesterol levels, and dilating capillaries, thereby unblocking blood circulation, reducing cholesterol levels, alleviating the burden on the heart, maintaining normal blood pressure, and removing "toxins" from the blood.

9. Improve your physical fitness

Taking aloe vera and taking aloe vera baths can not only prevent and treat various diseases, but also improve your physical fitness, enhance your physical strength, and maintain energy. When a person is in a healthy state, his body fluids are slightly alkaline. Excessive fatigue or stressful life can make the body fluids acidic, making it easy to be infected by viruses. Regular use of aloe vera can keep the body fluids alkaline, maintain health and prevent colds.

3. Reminder

The mucus-like substances in aloe vera are important ingredients for preventing cell aging and treating chronic allergies. Mucin exists in the muscles and gastrointestinal mucosa of the human body, making the tissues elastic. If there is insufficient mucin, the muscles and mucosa will lose their elasticity and become stiff and aged. If the cells that make up the human body lack mucin, the cells will gradually weaken and lose the ability to defend against bacteria and viruses. In addition, mucin has the effect of strengthening the body and sperm.
