1. Aloe Vera Linn. (Family - Liliaceae) commonly known, as ghikvar is one of the 200 species of Aloe present in the world. It is a native of North Africa but presently found abundantly throughout the world.
2. Aloe is derived from Arabia word Alloeh or the Hcbren hale, meaning a shining bitter substance and Vera is from Latin word, versus meaning true.
3. Aloe Vera is a plant of great potential and value in the field of therapeutics, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic industries. It is used in indigenous (Ayurvedic) and Unani systems of medicine and in cosmetics, shampoos and anti dandruff creams, etc. Aloe is particularly useful in the treatment of bums, blood disorders, chronic constipation, skin diseases, and as eye drops for relief in sore eyes and redness as well as bleeding and healing of wounds, etc. It plays an important role in gerontology and rejuvenation.
1. A number of species have been introduced in India, of which A. barbadensis mill has become naturalized in all parts of the country. Other species also occur as wild/ornamental at some places.
The colour and odour of each variety is its characteristic and the taste bitter and nauseous. A. Barbadensis refers to the Barbados islands. Ferox is a Latin word, meaning wild or ferocious. African refers to the habit of the plant and spicata refers to the flowers in spikes. Mainly four species Aloe (Aloe barbadenxis Millen. Aloeperryi, Aloe saponaria and Aloe veru Linn) are cultivated in India. But the first species is mostly used for making juice, gel, and powder.
Aloe Vera is a typical xerophytic plant and tolerant to adverse conditions such as drought, hot and dry as well as humid weather. It has a good adaptability and can grow in various climatic conditions. It can grow in warm, humid or dry climate with even 35-40 cm of rainfall per annum. The Aloe Plant grows in warm tropical areas but cannot survive frost or freezing temperatures. Aloe flourishes in a variety of climates ranging from warm temperate to semi arid subtropical regions. In India, the crop can be grown in any season. In general, hot and dry weather is favorable to the crop.
Aloe veru grows wild in some states and its cultivation is also done on limited scale in U.P., M.P. and Rajasthan in India. Recently, farmers in North India have begun taking up Aloe cultivation on large-scale because of high demand of Aloe. In order to ensure regular supply of fleshy leaves to the industries and users at reasonable price, it is essential that Aloe cultivation be taken up on commercial scale. However there is also very good scope for setting up field level pulp extraction and processing units attached to farms.
Contemporary use
Containing more than 200 compounds, Aloe Vera can decrease inflammation, stimulate the production of collagen and ultimately accelerate wound healing. Aloe vera topical had been used to aide in the healing of eczema, minor wounds, burns, psoriasis, for instance. Applying aloe vera gel to psoriasis and frostbite injuries could help the skin to heal. Research has confirmed that Aloe Vera gel penetrates human skin nearly four times faster than water. In general, Aloe Vera topical should be secure from moisture and light and stored in a sealed container. Also, aloe vera is a natural moisturizer and supplies a source of vitamins and minerals. Repairing damaged tissue by regenerating cells is a function at which Aloe Vera has been shown to be most successful. Researchers used aloe vera (combination of sap and gel) to treat seborrhea, vulgaris, alopecia, chronic leg ulcers, acne, and hair loss. Use aloe vera oil in lip balms, creams, lotions, hair oil treatments, body butters, and other skin-care formulations.
