Aloe Vera is recommended by specialists, doctors and naturopaths throughout the world. Aloe Vera’s nutrients, natural antiseptics and anti-inflammatory properties soothe skin whilst moisturising at the cell level.Aloe Vera is able hydrate, heal and encourage skin renewal.
Modern research on Aloe Vera began in 1935 when CE Collins M.D began treating burns, caused by unsophisticated X-ray techniques, with Aloe Vera. They discovered that the wounds healed more quickly and left less scar tissue when fresh aloe Vera gel was applied than when other treatments were used. Other medical researchers found that aloe Vera also worked to reduce pain, itching, scarring and to fight infection.
Applied to wounds, aloe Vera is a mild anaesthetic, relieving itching, swelling, and pain: it is antibacterial and antifungal, increases blood flow to wounded areas, and stimulates fibroblasts, the skin cells responsible for wound healing.
Aloe Vera has been recognised for its ability to soothe burns. In a study in the Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand, 27 patients with moderate burn wounds were treated with a gauze coated in either aloe gel or Vaseline™ (petroleum jelly). The burns healed more quickly in the aloe group, with an average healing time of 12 days compared to 18 days for the group using Vaseline.
Aloe Vera speeds up the healing process of burns, stimulates the growth of healthy skin cells, & limits the body’s production of scar tissue.
According to Elizabeth Burdick, MS., a microbiologist and skin therapist who treats burn patients in California, scar tissue is thick like cactus and is produced by basal cells that are found in the last layer of the derma.“When the skin is burned or traumatised the body sends a message to the basal cell to help protect it. Within 24hours the basal cells travel up to the epidermal layer and produce a scab. Underneath the scab, keratinised tissue forms, which is thick scar tissue created to protect the body from trauma.”According to Burdick, aloe interferes with the process of scar formation. “We don’t know exactly what the mechanism is, but somehow the aloe vera causes skin cells to regenerate so rapidly that the body does not send the message to the basal cells. The new epidermal skin cells begin closing off the injured area. While the body will still produce a scab-like covering, it doesn’t have a thick, rough texture to it. Underneath the scab is healthy skin tissue, not Keratinised tissue or scar tissue.

Aloe Vera was used to treat
patients who suffered radiation burns from the Hiroshima & Nagasaki
bombings. American medical teams who examined these patients noted
accelerated tissue regeneration and healing and the reduction of pain
and scarring.
Aloe Vera
penetrates rapidly and deeply, infusing the damaged, irritated skin
with desperately needed essential moisture. It is able to reduce
redness and pain as well as hydrate, heal and protect extremely dry and
sensitive skin. It is cooling, soothing and moisturising, and it
stimulates the growth of new cells and tissue with natural steroids,
enzymes and amino acids. Aloe Vera also contains a potent blocker which
provides the skin with the components to rejuvenate itself at the cell
level.
