Aloe Vera GelChemical analysis has shown the gel to contain various carbohydrate polymers, notably either glucomannans or pectic acid, along with a range of other organic and inorganic components. This gel should be distinguished clearly from the bitter yellow exudate originating from the bundle sheath cells, which is used for its purgative effects. Aloe Vera gel can be used by peeling off the outside of the aloe vera leaves, and putting the “slimy stuff” on cuts, burns, scratches, rashes, and sunburns. Some researchers believe that the sticky fluid found inside the leaves of aloe vera can help preserve organ function after massive blood loss. According to Dr. Mitchell Fink, "Soldiers wounded in combat often lose significant amounts of blood, and there is no practical way to replace the necessary amount of blood fast enough on the front lines. When this happens, there is inadequate perfusion of the organs which quickly leads to a cascade of life-threatening events." Research has found that mucilage from inside aloe leaves is rich in sugar compounds called polysaccharides that affect the qualities of fluid. |
