Historically, people had extensively used Aloe Vera as an herbal medical plant in 1500 B.C. (Before Christ). After the Second World War, Aloe Vera has functioned effectively in healing wounds, inflammations, burns and etc. It then drew more attention from the human being.
For the past three or four decades, the remedial effect of Aloe Vera has been prevailed throughout Africa, Europe, America, Asia and etc. The fact that Aloe Vera has been extensively used in many areas "provokes" the advocates of more medical health research into Aloe Vera to be studied in a more proactive manner. Some studies pointed out that it helps treat the radiation burns, frostbites, cuts, dermatitis, and ulcers. It also facilitates the re-generation of cells, and speeds up the recovery process of cell tissues.
Therefore, the growing of Aloe Vera and the development of its products for daily use, cosmetics, and medical applications look forward to greater contribution for the betterment of human health conditions.

Yellow Sap
When the leave of Aloe Vera is sliced, a kind of liquid flowing out from the cutting edge is called yellow sap. Yellow sap consists of the following important ingredients: anthraquinones, anthra-ketone, phenol species, and quinine and aloenin species. It is able to balance the secretion of gastric juice and functions very well in anti-bacterial and anti-septic.
Gel
Aloe Vera Gel is hidden inside the central parenchymal tissue. It forms part of the Aloe Vera leaves. Peel the upper and bottom of the leaves, gel is right between. To adapt a better dry living environment, Aloe Vera Gel is able to store huge amount of water to meet the demand of other plants.In spite of containing substantial amount of nutrient substances including amino acid, organic acid, salicylic, salicylate, gibberellin, kallikrein kinase, minerals, polysaccharides, and etc, they empower themselves to function respectively. As a result of the said team functioning, Aloe Vera has embraced itself with such collective synergy. Aloe Vera Gel has a moderate function on the body mechanism as it enhances incrementally and maintains as well as facilitates the physiological activities of cells, its organisation and human body.

Functions of Anti-inflammatory and Anti-bacteria
The Anthraquinones Complex contained in Aloe Vera has a dual function of anti-bacteria and toxin synthesising. Aloe Vera is effective in the relief of cuts, and functions as anti-inflammatory and anti-bateria, and speeds up the healing process of wounded cell tissues.

The scalded, burnt, cut, stung, insect-bitten wounds are prone to bacteria infection. Particularly the streptococcus, a group of bacteria cause the inflammation of wounds. Aloe Vera is able to help curb the breeding of such aforementioned bacteria, and protect the wounded parts, and prevent the wounds from infection. |
The mucopolysaccharide of Aloe Vera is able to help relieve the heat and pain. It further helps reduce the pain and has the function of anti inflammation regardless of the causes such as heat, burn, physically injury, or chemically decayed injury, ultraviolet or heat radiation.
Facilitate the Healing Process of Wounds
The poly-saccharin contained in the mucopolysaccharide of Aloe Vera is to be responsible for repairing the construction of fibroblasts. It also stimulates directly the growth and repair of fibroblasts and this helps remedy the wounds.
The saponins contained in the Aloe Vera have the functions of cleansing and anti-septics. When applied externally, the mucopolysaccharide of Aloe Vera will have the wound to achieve anesthesia. It further penetrates into the underlying structure of epidermis so as to achieve the feeling of cooling for the sake of slowing down the pains of the wound.
Furthermore, the gibberellin contained in the Aloe Vera is able to supply the formation of collagenous protein. It thus speeds up the healing process of wounds.
