[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Aloe Arborescens is a plant from which a gel with multiple beneficial and healing properties is obtained. Its leaves are succulent, meaning they are rich in tissues known as aquifer parenchyma. These can fill with large amounts of water. The gel obtained is therefore rich in beneficial substances. Let’s discover together what they are.
There are many uses for the Aloe plant.
Aloe Arborescens: a plant with many virtues
Aloe Arborescens belongs to the family of Aloaceae and is distinguished from the more well-known Aloe Vera, which is also rich in beneficial properties but in lesser amounts due to its larger leaves. Many studies have shown that the leaves of Aloe Arborescens, being smaller, absorb a lesser amount of water within them. For this reason, the gel obtained from this plant has a higher concentration of active ingredients.
This plant appears bushy with branched leaves and can reach up to 4 meters in height. Aloe Arborescens originates from the desert areas of North Africa, but in Europe its healing virtues have been known since the 1500s. The gel obtained from this plant is a source of amino acids such as proline, tyrosine, and arginine, it is a source of vitamins A, B1, B2, B12, C, E, folic acid, and niacin, and is an excellent remineraliser as it is rich in calcium, sodium, iron, potassium, chromium, magnesium, copper, and zinc.
How to take Aloe Arborescens
The gel of Aloe Arborescens should be taken daily before meals. The amount depends on the concentration of aloe present in the gel. The higher the concentration, the lesser the amount that should be taken. Usually, the recommended dose is one tablespoon of aloe gel three times a day half an hour before the main meals. The gel of Aloe Arborescens is rich in natural mucilages that have antacid properties and facilitate digestion, eliminating heartburn and protecting the gastric mucosa. The active ingredients of Aloe Arborescens are also indicated to improve intestinal activity and to support the immune system.
This gel is also indicated for topical use to regenerate the skin, to soothe inflammation or sunburns, and to treat minor wounds. For several years, the juice from this plant has been increasingly used by people suffering from cancer (although there is no significant scientific evidence). Numerous benefits related to the immunomodulating and immunostimulating properties of the molecules present in the leaf have been reported. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
