ALOE VERA is not a cactus; it is a species of lily that has been known for thousands of years as a healing plant. There are over 300 varieties of ALOE VERA, but the "ALOE Barbadensis Miller" is superior to all the others, with the highest density of beneficial essential nutrients. The origin of this ALOE is here in the Canaries as well as in the Cape Verde islands.
Already, Cleopatra and Nefertiti appreciated the value of ALOE. Christopher Columbus had ALOE on board as his essential "medicine chest" and nutrition supplement, and Alexander the Great also didn't go into battle without ALOE.
What can our ALOE VERA do for you?
ALOE VERA can both be taken internally and applied externally. The benefits of consuming ALOE VERA internally include reinforcing the immune system, building up antibodies, and acting as a detoxifier, gently cleansing the intestines.
Applied externally, ALOE rapidly and thoroughly moisturizes the skin. Skin regeneration is accelerated as ALOE stimulates cell growth, helping wounds heal faster, and it can also help to reduce scars. In addition, ALOE is an astringent and has antibiotic properties.
Health providers and doctors recommend ALOE for the following:
- Sunburn and sun allergy
- Skin irritation
- Acne
- Dry and flaky skin
- Herpes
- Pigmentation
- Generally dry skin
- Stomach and intestine problems
- Stress and low immunity (burnout)
- A vast number of other conditions
Why does ALOE VERA work?
The Fuerteventura ALOE lives as a desert plant in a harsh environment and therefore, for millions of years, has had to be self-sufficient. The leaf contains more than 200 separate ingredients, including:
- 13 Vitamins
- 16 Enzymes
- 13 Essential Minerals
- 21 Amino Acids
- 12 Anthraquinones
- Lupeol (painkiller)
- Trace Elements
- Salicylic Acid
- EMU Oil
- Most importantly and practically only existing in the ALOE is Acemannan, a complex polysaccharide (stimulator for the immune system).
Acemannan is produced by the human body until the age of puberty. Therefore, it is one of the main compounds which can cure babies or children from their hurts and can also help to overcome some of children's illnesses. At the age of puberty, the genetic code for the human body is complete, and therefore the Acemannan production will come to an end even though the substance will still be required by the body. ALOE can only be a complement to nutrition.
Why especially this original ALOE VERA?
Nearly all ALOE products are diluted or produced from concentrated powder. There are also huge differences in the cultivation and production leading to varying qualities of ALOE.
Our original ALOE VERA has been freshly cultivated for generations in Fuerteventura, hand-picked and hand-processed, and especially:
- It is without chemical additives for preservation
- There are no color or aroma additives
- There has been no experimentation on animals
- It has controlled biological cultivation (certified).
