Aloe beauty, skin care fly it?



Lead: Aloe should be regarded as a popular favorite plant, eat a variety of wipe bath aloe products Ling Lang everywhere. Beauty, skin care, detoxification, anti-tumor, anti-aging, and so the most fashionable "effectiveness" is its selling point. But although the aloe is a "natural plant", but this is absolutely not a guarantee of security. Oral aloe products possible security risks still more.

Aloe should be regarded as a popular favorite plant, eat a variety of wipe bath aloe products Ling Lang everywhere. There is also a well-known Chinese medicine called "Compound aloe capsule" because Britain is known around the world to detect mercury exceeded 11.7 times. Of course, excessive mercury with aloe fact, no relationship, however, aloe alone is concerned, it is those kinds of "magic" There fly the office?

Although Compound aloe capsule "traditional medicine", but aloe vera history in China is not long. It was introduced to China, but a few hundred years, and the Egyptians 6,000 years ago, took it as a Pharaoh's sacrificial lambs. In Egypt, it was known as the "plant of immortality." Traditionally, oral laxative for external treatment for wounds. To future generations, people "come up with" a variety of effects. In the current marketing, beauty, skin care, detoxification, anti-tumor, anti-aging, and so the most fashionable "effectiveness" is its selling point.

Research on Aloe is actually quite a lot, especially the classic laxative effect and wounded aspect. Aloe vera has some laxative ingredients, so the ancients laxative experience has been supported by modern medicine. In the United States, aloe extract is used for communication in accordance with the non-prescription drug sales for many years. Later found the body of this adaptive laxative effect - that is, with a long time, produce a laxative effect desired dose will be gradually increased. Thus, FDA requires manufacturers to provide aloe laxative drug safety data. However, these manufacturers refused to respond, so the FDA canceled all eligible non-prescription drugs such products in 2002. Want accordance with drug sales, you have to be a new drug application.

Aloe Vera product safety concerns, making the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) conducted a two-year carcinogenicity animal experiments. It was found that, without discolored aloe extract on rats with a clear carcinogenic. But it is not found in mice. And other treatment process to obtain aloe products, there is no research. Based on such an experiment, of course, it is that it can not speculate whether the body is carcinogenic, but the result in itself sufficient to arouse people's attention, it is necessary to carry out further research.

Two types of products can be obtained from aloe, one of those clear gel inside aloe leaves, two yellow latex leaves under the skin. Latex is used to purge, and the gel is used to smear. There are also some products simply extracted, so while containing gel and latex.

There are some small-scale experiments show that the gel applicator helps wound healing wound. Some components of the gel, it seems that small vessels can promote blood circulation and sterilization. This is "traditional experience" provides a "modern evidence." However, scientists are not uniform view that this little hasty conclusions. And one study showed that not only did not help wound healing, but also delayed healing. This study is difficult to judge whether or not reliable, but it makes this confusing effect reliability. To find out this role, we will need more, more rigorous experimental design.

Other studies have not done much, but convincing evidence is not strong. With "scientific evidence strength rating" indicators to measure, we can only say that "the evidence is insufficient to draw any conclusions" - that is to say, in addition to a laxative effect and wounded two other people can effect that "almost no evidence, basically rely on the imagination. "

For this type of product, if there is no security problem, "better than nothing" to try to have nothing to it. However, although the aloe is a "natural plant", but this is absolutely not a guarantee of security. In addition to carcinogenicity said earlier experiments, oral aloe products possible security risks still more. First, the latex can purge, naturally, can produce abdominal pain and diarrhea. With insoluble dietary fiber laxative different mechanism, laxative effect of aloe latex is achieved by stimulating the intestinal tract, this stimulus will make the intestinal cells in the loss of potassium. If long-term use of aloe latex, may cause kidney damage, hematuria, hypokalemia and muscle weakness and other symptoms. If you take aloe latex 1 gram per day, several days may be fatal.

Pregnant and lactating women and the risk is even greater. There are reports about abortion and taking these products, in addition, there is the risk of birth defects in animals. Precise to say that these risks are no strong evidence. But their benefits for pregnant women who do not care there is no matter, there is no departure from the cautious to try necessary. The same thinking should be used in children, and children are more prone to abdominal pain and diarrhea.

In addition, diabetes, kidney disease, intestinal disease and hemorrhoids people should avoid oral aloe products. It can not see any effect, but it may affect the drug effect or make the symptoms worse.

If you can not remember so much, then the answer is simple: the risk of oral aloe products more than the benefits, totally not worth it. Even if it is indeed a laxative, it is not as safe and secure those other dietary patterns or medication is recommended.

However, after a stationary external stimulus removing aloe products essentially safe. So, those of beauty, skin care, treatment of wounds topical aloe products, whether it is useful to be confirmed of course, wins in not hazardous to health. If you are not afraid of a waste of money, willing to take to do their own experiment, it is also something that can not. For example, studies have shown that people with psoriasis smear lotion containing aloe extract four weeks after the symptoms have abated.
