How does aloe vera work?

Aloe vera contains over 150 nutritional ingredients (like amino acids, anthraquinones, enzymes, minerals, vitamins, lignins, monosaccharide, polysaccharides, salicylic acid, saponins, and sterols); all of them have beneficial effect on skin. For example, Anti-oxidants like minerals (zinc, magnesium, selenium), enzymes (catalase and superoxide dismutase), amino acids (cysteine, anthraquinones) and vitamins (B2, B6, E and C) make Aloe vera one of the most powerful skin repairing herbs. Aloe vera is 96-97% water, thus hydrates normal to oily skin without clogging the pores, however for dry skin additional moisturizing ingredient like olive oil or oats would be needed. Anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and skin repairing actions along with amino acids present in Aloe vera make it  a very good anti-ageing remedy. These amino acids help in replenish the collagen and elastin present in deeper layer of skin that depletes with age. One study reports that oral intake of aloe vera for 90 days improves wrinkles. Aloe vera helps in reducing http://dermatocare.blogspot.com/2012/04/why-do-i-get-these-dark-patches-and.html; at least one study reports that active ingredient aloin cause melanin aggregation leading to skin lightening. Application and intake of Aloe vera helps in reducing psoriasis lesions because of anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory action. These are the scientific basis behind using aloe vera in few of the skin disorders, but its action is not limited to skin.

Aloe Vera is a stemless or very short-stemmed succulent plant and stores water in its prickly and bitter leaves, which are thick and fleshy. It looks somewhat similar to a cactus plant. The leaves produce two substances – a) the translucent gel, which is more or less water with seVeral other nutrients mixed in and b) the sap – a yellow-coloured liquid stuck to the skin of the plant from the inside, which is also known as aloe latex. Although Aloe is about 99% water, the remaining 1% is extremely powerful and it is this 1% which makes it an ingredient in cosmetics, skin creams, ointments and other cool stuffs.Check this link to know more about Aloe Vera: https://anengineersutopia.wordpress.com/2016/04/10/the-plant-of-immortality/

Do you want to know how do you prepare it or what are the benefits?Here is one that I have. It is more easy to buy the whole plant so you have all the leafs and take one by one. Before having it I used to buy each leaf at the market. I am not pregnant, not even have allergies, I don’t know if the persons with those states can drink. Before you drink or eat the plant you should mantain them in water so that the iodine falls. You -must not- drink the iodine, it is dangerous for the eyes and more, neither the skin just what is inside. The iodine is yellow and then turns into red, and stains horribly the floor or clothes.What I do is leave them two days in water and change four times the water. To make it easier I cut it in parts. here is the extract of aloe vera completely cleaned and with honey you can use the inner skin of the plant to apply it on your skin to eliminate skin spots. This is the aloe vera with the herbs :) For me this way is tasty and more effective, like a tea. If you don’t use the whole leaf, the rest can be saved in the fridge.After drinking it I feel my hair and skin softer, it is like the skin gets hydrated from inside out (not superficially). It also helps the stomach to recover. I have read that it helps to avoid cancer or recover from cancer treatments.
