Shri Minoo parabia: Comprehensive review Dr.
Dhruti. Appreciable, We have two major species in Gujarat. Aloe barbadense, Aloe chinensis. Later is not
bitter and known as Mitho kuwar, grown in kachchh. Simple recipe for making
health drink. Scoop gel from leaves with the help of spoon. Add equal amount of preboiled
water. Add sugar. 900g/liter of water. Boil till sugar dissolves. Add one pack of Rasna sherbet
maker. Filter and bottle. Aloe is contraindicated for
those, who is suffering with bleeding tendency. I believe, it has blood thinning
property. Of course need research before making statement. Will be happy to
know from experts. Most of marketed drinks are 7 to 10%. Whereas this is 50%.

after falling or contusion its warm pulp mixed with turmeric can be used with

local application on small burns, sunburns, wound healer, scars, dry skin
conditions which are gen'ly quite known ,dhrutkumari is very useful in menstrual flow probs and

kumariasava..
Baroda Zehra Torabally: I have planted Aloe veras
in my garden which I bought in nuseries nearby and was scraping off the gel and
mixing it with honey and eating it everyday as a cure for constipation. It seemed to work in the beginning but I
noticed weight gain and harder stools. I
then found out that there are more than 100 species if Aloe Vera and it is
difficult to know the properties without proper knowledge. I stopped the home care and started taking
supplemented Aloe Vera capsules at night and its working. Any thoughts on this?
Dr. Meghdoot Satvekar: Aloe Vera, or Ghrita Kumari in Sanskrit ,
their are many species , Aloe vera Barbadenis is used in medicinal use . External use- The healing effect of aloe
results from its ability to prevent injury to epithelial tissues, and promote
healing of injured tissues. one of the main applications of aloe vera is to
soothe a variety of skin ailments such as mild cuts, insect stings, bruises,
poison ivy and eczema. It also has antibacterial and antifungal qualities, and
increases blood flow to wounded areas. In addition, aloe vera stimulates
fibroblasts, the skin cells responsible for wound healing and the manufacture
of collagen, the protein that controls the aging process of the skin and
wrinkling. Mild sunburn: Mix 70% aloe vera gel
and 30% bentonite clay. Apply paste on affected areas and wash it off after 15
minutes. Internal use - When taken internally,
aloe vera juice aids the digestion and absorption of nutrients, helps control
blood sugar, increases energy production, promotes cardiovascular health,
improves liver function, and boosts the immune system. Skin problems: Since aloe vera
purifies the body and aids liver function, it is beneficial for the skin when
taken internally. Take 1-2 teaspoons fresh aloe gel daily for young and healthy
skin. Pregnant
women and children under five should not take aloe vera internally.
Dr. J. T. Contractor: Dehydrated aloevera is
powdered,sprinkled as a preservative, if bottled mineral water to b added wth
this powder can b stored naturally instead using harmful chemicals
preservatives, also could b used for canned foods preservation
Vd. Manali Davra: Dandruff (seborrheic
dermatitis):- applying aloe twice daily
for 4-6 weeks improves dandruff. Ulcerative colitis:- some people with mild to moderate ulcerative
colitis who take aloe gel by mouth for 4 weeks have significantly reduced
symptoms. Pt. Should take gel under observation by physian bcz it leads to side
effects like abdominal pain, crams etc... Wound
healing:- aloe
works to improve wound healing. Some research shows that applying an aloe gel
product (Carrington Dermal Wound Gel) to surgical wounds might actually delay
wound healing. But other research using a different form of aloe cream applied
to hemorrhoid-related wounds shows that aloe might improve wound healing and
provide some pain relief.
Dr. Meghdoot Satvekar: Special Precautions
& Warnings: Pregnancy or
breast-feeding: Aloe -- either gel or latex -- is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken
by mouth. There
is a report that aloe was associated with miscarriage. It could also be a risk
for birth defects. Do not take aloe by mouth if you are pregnant or
breast-feeding. Children: Aloe is POSSIBLY
UNSAFE for children when taken by mouth. Children younger than 12 years

obstruction: Do not take aloe latex if you have any of these conditions. Aloe
latex is a bowel irritant. Remember, products made from whole aloe leaves will

you have hemorrhoids. It could make the condition worse. Remember, products
made from whole aloe leaves will contain some aloe latex. Kidney problems: High doses of aloe latex have been linked to kidney failure and other
