Curacao aloes Extract INCI Name Aloe Barbadensis Extract CAS 85507-69-3 EINECS ELINCS No 287-390-8 aloes extract Aloe vera extract Aloe barbadensis Miller Aloe ferox Mille Chirukattali extract photo picture image Gel:

 Fresh:  Apply the split leaf directly to burns, wounds, dry skin, fungal infections, and insect bites. Take up to 2 tsp in a glass of water or fruit juice, three times a day, as a tonic.

 Ointment:  Split several leaves to collect a large quantity of gel, and boil it down to a thick paste. Store in clean jars in a cool place and use like the fresh leaves.

 Tonic Wine:  Fermented aloe gel with honey and spices is known as kumaryasava in India and is used as a tonic for anemia, poor digestive function, and liver disorders.

 Inhalation: Use the gel in a steam inhalant for bronchial congestion.

 Leaves:

 Tincture: Use 1-3 ml per dose as an appetite stimulant or for constipation. The taste is unpleasant.

 Powder: Use 100 - 500 mg per dose or in capsules as a purgative for stubborn constipation and to stimulate bile flow.

 Combinations:

 Take in conjunction with antispasmodics or carminatives to counteract griping. Metal salts are often used to enhance its action (e.g. iron pills).

 Sunburn treatments:  20% or more aloe content
 Creams and Ointments:  20% or more aloe content
 Juices:  95% or more aloe content
 Beverages: 50% or more aloe content
 Drinks:  10% or more aloe content
 Capsules:  5-10% or more aloe content

 As far as dosages are concerned, start small and work your way up to a therapeutic dose. Juices are a good way to start, and pills are probably the worst way to go with aloe. Aloe pulp is 95% water, and if you consider the process of drying this, then sticking it back together into a pill form, you can see why pills are probably not the best way to go. Also, give your regimen time to work.Sometimes it takes a couple of months for you to see the real effects of aloe treatments, so don't give up too soon.

 Aloe is safe when used in moderation, but there are a few contraindications. If you have a heart problem and use any kind of digitalis medication, consult your doctor before using any aloe product internally, as the interaction may cause irregular heartbeat. Avoid aloe preparations if you are pregnant, breast feeding, or menstruating, as it can cause uterine contractions.
