Aloe Vera
Aloe vera also speeds up tissue regeneration by stimulating
fibroblasts, cells that are widely distributed in connective tissue and
responsible for the production of collagen. Collagen strengthens new tissue
formation. Plant growth hormones in aloe, aid wound healing as well, by
increasing protein synthesis.
Leg Ulcers
Aloe vera gel was
successfully used topically in a study involving a small number of patients
with chronic leg ulcers. The gel was applied to the ulcers on gauze bandages. A
rapid reduction in ulcer size was noted, while two thirds of the patients had
complete relief.
Aloe’s glucomannan has a direct effect on the immune system, activating and stimulating macrophages, monocytes, antibodies and T-cells.
