Aloe vera benefits (the miracle plant)

The Importance of Aloe Vera in Ancient Civilizations

A drawing of the cactus plant was found engraved on the walls of temples 4000 years ago BC, at the time of the ancient Egyptians, when they revered it and respected its presence among them, and the ancient Egyptians were

They consider that the cactus plant has the power of magic over the bodies so that it was considered among the royal plants reserved for the Pharaoh and his followers from among the people of fortune

The Arabs introduced the cactus plant and introduced it to the kingdoms that were conquered during the bright era of the Arab conquests in the east and west of the land

After that, Christian missionaries planted aloe vera in several places in the world, and it was cultivated for the first time in the Barbados Islands in the year 1595 AD

The American Indians in Central America and Mexico used the aloe vera plant on a large scale in the treatment of their various diseases, such as cough, arthritis, cataracts, stomach pain, infections of the digestive system, ulcers of the legs, varicose veins, gangrene, fungal infection with candida, and skin infections.

There is also a similar type of cactus known as Aloe Socotra, relative to the island of Socotra, next to Yemen, and it is a type that does not have a repulsive smell.

The aloe vera plant is characterized by being very patient with thirst

It is said that Alexander the Great invaded the island of Socotra to obtain the aloe vera crop that was growing there, where the soldiers collected the aloe vera plant to treat the wounded soldiers who were injured in the various war battles. And the cactus plant is very patient even after it is uprooted from the ground, and its texture or effect does not fade from the effect of that

People may have known through ancient times, since man became aware of the world, that the aloe vera plant heals the skin and its various diseases, but what many do not know is that the aloe vera plant can be taken in the form of a drink or juice, or even capsules intended for swallowing

And those who take it say about their experience in that that it renews the cells of the body from the inside, just as it does from the outside, and this is a reasonable and acceptable logic that can be adopted

Aloe vera treats cancer

It is said by Dr. - Julian Whitaker - one of the most important doctors in North America in the branches of alternative medicine, who has research and experiences with patients, and is published periodically in scientific journals interested in health and treatment

Where Dr. Whitaker says: "A 10-year-old boy was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor (Meningioma). The surgeons treating the sick child admitted that they could not remove the entire tumor, as it represents a serious risk to the child's safety. Unfortunately, the disease continued to grow and grow in the child's head, until it caused the child severe bulging eyes and excruciating pain, and the doctors decided that the case was hopeless, and the recovery rate was zero

And there was a friend of the child's family, who advised them that the child should drink concentrated aloe vera juice at the rate of a cup or 240 ml every day

After 3 months of consuming aloe vera juice regularly, the surprise that held the breath of all the doctors who were treating the child from his illness was that the tumor had completely disappeared, and the child had become healthy and healthy, but he still continued to drink aloe vera juice

One of the women who sent (a letter of thanks) to the one who prescribed the aloe vera plant as a treatment for her, said that she was expelled saying, "I was complaining of excruciating pain in all my body due to rheumatism, joint stiffness, with severe swelling in the legs and knees, and I could not walk at all except on a wheelchair

I went to many specialized doctors, and I found nothing but the traditional treatment of painkillers, which did not help me solve my health problem, and it continued for 8 years of psychological torment and pain until I thought that there might be bone cancer, and that was because of the severity of the pain

In the end, she found no choice but to go to the major clinics with a reputation for treating difficult cases, and she was diagnosed in that clinic as suffering from the rheumatoid disease in the joints, and she was given 18 injections of gold extract, which made her in a miserable state of health. Her lips were cracked, and various sores covered her body until it covered her mouth

She left her job and was unable to even hold a cup of tea in her hands, and her body was weak, and other health problems added to the effect of the treatment she was taking

Until fate willed and brought her together with a friend of the family, who was talking about the wonders of the aloe vera plant, and its healing abilities for some diseases. Immediately, she started taking aloe vera capsules, and it was a miracle of recovery, as her condition improved over the course of 6 months of treatment, the swelling began to subside from all over her body, and all the pains disappeared from her, and she started walking without help from anyone, and she regained all the days she had missed from the days of physical disability, To make up for those years she spent in torment and pain with illness

Aloe Vera benefits for the treatment of stomach ulcers

The Journal of the American Society for Alternative Medicine mentioned it in its April 1963 issue. In part (62) of a report issued by it entitled “Aloe vera plant and its effect in the treatment of stomach ulcers,” the report was prepared by Dr. Blitz Smith- that he used the aloe vera plant in the treatment of patients suffering from stomach and duodenal ulcers, and the number of patients was 18 patients

The result was that all patients were completely cured, except for one case only, which did not continue the treatment program, meaning that the success rate is 100% in the end

The results indicated that aloe vera juice completely covers the mucous membrane of the digestive system, thus preventing further erosion that previously led to ulcers. While traditional medicines for treating stomach ulcers work to reduce the amounts of hydrochloric acid produced by some specialized glands in the membrane lining the stomach and duodenum, which may later lead to a state of indigestion

The study also included a number of women between the ages of 23-25 years, and who were suffering from an intense presence of acne on their faces, and treatment with aloe vera plants might work if they were cured in a short period of one month of continuing treatment, and no trace of acne was left on their faces. after that

And in the issue issued by the newspaper (Dallas Time Herald) on July 12, 1988 AD. Dr. Terry Balas stated that when an AIDS patient takes a dose of aloe vera juice that has not been exposed to air, amounting to 20 ounces, which is equivalent to 600 grams of aloe vera juice per day, it helps the AIDS patient to return to the state of health he was in before his illness, and he can He goes about his usual work, where all the symptoms of his illness disappear, and he becomes a normal person again
