    Aloe Vera

    Uploaded by

    Kim Carpio
    Aloe Vera has succulents that help retain water and form relationships with fungi in the soil to absorb nutrients, allowing it to grow in dry conditions. It can be propagated from leaves. Aloe Vera has been used for centuries and is now a global crop known for its gel, which is used in food, supplements, remedies, and cosmetics. Research shows aloe gel can lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels. However, the bitter exudate from its outer leaves is a laxative that may have harmful effects and interact with other medicines.

    Aloe Vera

    Adaptation:
    Aloe Vera have succulents that help the plant retain a lot of water when it is living
    in a region of dryness. They also form Arbuscular Mycorrhiza that allows the plant to get
    the nutrients and minerals from the soil that they need to help them grow. Aloe Vera is a
    propagate plant which means they can be grown not only from a seed, but from a leaf of
    another Aloe Vera plant.
    Uses:
    Aloe vera has been used for centuries and it is more popular today than ever. It is
    cultivated around the world as a crop for its colourless jelly-like leaf parenchyma known
    as 'aloe gel'. It is used for a variety of purposes in food, food supplements, herbal
    remedies and cosmetics.
    Aloe vera leaf parenchyma (aloe gel) may be effective when used on the skin
    against psoriasis, burns, frostbite, and sores caused by the Herpes simplex virus.
    Research has shown that, taken orally, aloe gel can help to lower cholesterol levels in
    people with high cholesterol, and can help to lower blood glucose levels in people with
    type II diabetes.
    The green outer layer of the leaves of Aloe vera yields a bitter, yellow exudate
    which has very different properties from those of the colourless parenchyma. The bitter
    leaf exudate has traditionally been used as a laxative. However, research has indicated
    that the active constituents may have harmful effects and can interact with other
    medicines and herbal remedies. It should not be given to children or to pregnant or
    breastfeeding women.
