Personalized advice based on the virtues of Aloe vera, the queen of healing plants! Aloe vera is known for its dermatological, nutritional, and digestive properties.
Aloe, or in Latin Aloe vera, belongs to the Liliaceae family (like garlic, chives, onions, asparagus, tulips, lilies) and is part of the monocotyledon class. It is commonly called Aloe or Desert Lily.
Aloe vera is a tree-like plant measuring 60 to 80 cm in height, with shallow roots and a very short, woody stem.
It is composed of the cuticle (epidermal layer), a cellulosic dermis (where a reddish-brown sap circulates), and finally at the center a thick pulp, which is the precious juice used for its beneficial properties.
For at least 5,000 years, at different times and in very distant regions of the world, humans have used Aloe to prevent or treat many ailments.
Numerous archaeological and historical proofs attest to its widespread and identical medicinal uses in all major civilizations without exception.
It was only after 1968, thanks to the research of a Texan pharmacist in the United States, Bill Coats, on the stabilization of fresh Aloe vera pulp, that this plant began to experience the worldwide success it enjoys today.
Without the development of such a process, large-scale commercialisation would not have been possible.
Its dermatological action—rebalancing the skin’s pH, exfoliating dead epidermal cells, deeply hydrating and nourishing the skin, stimulating the multiplication of dermal fibroblast cells—makes Aloe vera pulp a true skin “regenerator.”
It also has astringent, softening, and protective properties, making it one of the most remarkable natural beauty products available. Because of its hemostatic, anesthetic, bactericidal, healing, and anti-inflammatory actions—essential for treating both traumatic skin conditions (wounds, burns, irritations) and non-traumatic ones (dermatoses in general)—
Aloe vera pulp provides vital nutrients (amino acids, minerals and trace elements, vitamins, etc.) in small quantities but with very high qualitative value.
This qualitative richness promotes good organic rebalancing and strengthens the biological system, making it more resistant to various aggressions (microbial, stress-related, etc.) to which it is constantly exposed.
Aloe vera improves food digestion (thanks to its many enzymes), reduces intestinal putrefaction, has a mild appetite-stimulating effect, and provides a toning action on the intestines—helping regulate slow intestinal transit, but without being a laxative.
The range of products is extensive: on the one hand, there are beverages (in gel form) containing more than 90% Aloe vera gel. These drinks should be consumed daily and regularly over an extended period.
There is also a complete range of highly effective body, hair, and facial hydration products.
Our animal friends have not been forgotten either.
