Aloe vera or Aloevera is one of the potent herbs to cure various diseases. These plants have used the Samaritans around 1875 BC.
Ancient Egyptians had known efficacy of Aloe vera as a medicine about 1500 years BC. Thanks to Khasiatnya, the ancient Egyptians called it the plant of immortality.
Peracik a traditional medicine called Greek Dioscordes, said that aloe vera can cure various diseases. For example ulcers, skin bruising, cracking, blisters, hair loss, hemorrhoids, and sore throat.
In his report, Fujio L. Panggabean, a researcher and observer of medicinal plants, says that the efficacy of aloe vera plant not because it has enough nutrition for the human body. The results of other studies on Aloe vera showed that carbohydrate is the largest component of the water, which donated a number of calories as a source of energy.

Health Food
According to one observer of health food (supplement), Dr. Freddy Wilmana, MFPM, Sp.FK, from about 200 types of aloe plants, which both used to treat a type of Aloevera Barbadensis miller. Aloe vera contains 72 types of substances needed by the body.
Among the 72 substances the body needs, there are 18 different amino acids, carbohydrates, fats, water, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, hormones, and the substance class of drugs. Include antibiotics, antiseptic, antibacterial, anticancer, antiviral, antifungal, anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, antipembengkakan, antiparkinson, antiaterosklerosis, and antiviral resistant to antibiotics.
Given that the complete contents, according to Dr. Aloe vera. Freddy was not just useful health care, but also overcome various diseases. "For example, aloe vera is also able to lower blood sugar in diabetes that do not depend on insulin. In ten days the blood sugar to normal, "he said.

Containing Antioxidants
According to Drs. Freddy, some mineral elements contained in the Aloe vera is also functioning as forming a natural antioxidant. For example vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc.
"Even the results of research conducted from the United States scientists say that in barbadensis miller Aloevera there are some substances that can function as antioxidants," he said. Antioxidants are useful to prevent premature aging, heart attacks, and some degenerative diseases.
Aloe vera is to stimulate the growth of new cells in the skin. Aloe vera in the mucus contained lignin substances that penetrate and soak into the skin. This will keep mucus fluid loss from the skin surface. Result, the skin does not dry quickly and look youthful.
In addition to hemorrhoids, aloe vera can overcome swelling in the knee joints, cough, and wounds. Aloe vera also helps cope with constipation or difficult bowel movements because mucus is bitter and contain laktasit, so that is a good laxative.
So far, according to Dr. Freddy, studies have not found the side effects of using aloe vera. If there is a problem, it was just a reaction to those who have never consume aloe vera. "But, so far from my patients that taking supplements based Aloe vera, a reaction that arises is because the drugs work against the disease," he said.
However, keep in mind, according to Dr. Freddy, the nature of the aloe vera plant is almost similar to the apples when discharged directly bitten brown. It could be a sign of Aloe vera has been oxidized, so that it contains several substances that damage.
"It's not all elements of damage, but who would only get the dregs? Therefore, you should consume aloe vera herbs, whether already formulated or processed, in order to better feel the benefits, "he continued.
