Aloe vera
Season 2, Episode 30
We are firmly in the new year of 2025 and today the boys have another special guest Sue Hughes.
Sue is a specialist in the plant based wonder treatment successfully used all around the world Aloe vera.
Aloe vera is a succulent plant of the Genus Aloe.
It is widely distributed, and is considered an invasive species in many world regions. An evergreen perennial, it originates from the Arabian Peninsula, but also grows wild in tropical, semi-tropical, and arid climates around the world.
It is cultivated for commercial products, mainly as a topical treatment used over centuries. The species is considered attractive for decorative purposes, and is often found indoors as a potted plant. The leaves of Aloe vera contain significant amounts of the polysaccharide gel acemannan, which can be used for topical purposes. Aloe skin contains aloin which is toxic. Products made from Aloe vera usually only use the gel and NOT the skin.
There are many products containing aloe vera's acemannan, including skin lotions, cosmetics, ointments and gels for minor burns, skin abrasions, insect bites, and windburn and now a drink which can be consumed.
Oral ingestion of aloe vera extracts which include the skin can be dangerous, because it causes reactions which are not yet fully understood. It is especially dangerous for pregnant women. Some people have allergic reactions, even when the aloe vera is applied only to the skin.
The genus name Aloe is derived from the Arabic word Alloeh, meaning "bitter and shiny substance" or from Hebrew ahalim, plural of Ahal. The specific epithet vera comes from verus meaning "true" in Latin.
