Aloe Vera’s natural goodness lies in its healing powers. Because of its wonderful medicinal properties, aloe Vera is today being extensively used in herbal medicines.
“You asked me what was the secret of my vitality which sustained me during my long fasts. Well, it was my unshakable faith in God, my simple & frugal life – style and the ALOE whose benefits I discovered on my arrival in South Africa at the end of the 19th century.”
Use of aloe vera is beneficial for the patients afflicted with arthritis, colitis, sinusitis, psoriasis and other incurable skin diseases. Aloe vera is, therefore, invaluable for the preservation of human life. Aloe vera effectively cleanses the stomach and balance & enhances proper immune system by eliminating free radicals. It is an appetizer and stimulates digestion process. Latest research has revealed the presence of acimenon in its chemical composition; it multiplies the T lymphocyte cells, which strengthen the immune system. Aloe vera is known for its therapeutic value against radiation and chemical burns.
All of us know that, barring accidents, all disease in our body is caused by the excessive accumulation of morbid waste (pathogenic matter). The obstruction caused by pathogenic matter in the tissues of the body interferes with nutrition and drainage of cells, as a result, the otherwise healthy cells lose vitality, deteriorate and putrefy, calling for prompt medication to subdue the germs by the use of drugs, anti – toxins and vaccines. That is what we call the combating method – fighting disease with disease, poison with poison and germs with germs.
Nature cure, on the other hand is a preventive method. Prevention, so goes the old adage, is better than cure (and less troublesome too). Maintaining vital force can ward off disease. It is the vital force which sustains LIFE, being the bulwark against disease and decay. Nature cure does not fill human bodies with drug poisons and has no side effects. The ever increasing number of adherents to natural way of living and treating human ailments by recourse to natural or organic products provides a strong evidence of the efficacy of nature cure.
It is possible to acquire immunity to disease by careful observance of Nature’s laws, right living and following the natural regime.
Mother Nature provides for the protection and preservation of all living beings. There are numerous herbs and plants, which are the storehouse of healing properties and therapeutic value. Aloe vera tops the long list of such plants. Its miraculous healing properties make Aloe vera ‘Nature’s Wonder Plant.’
Thanks to the pioneering works of the masters of nature cure, the interest in the efficacy of the therapeutic value of Aloe vera has touched a new high. This book is a commendable effort by the authors, who are renowned Naturopaths; and it is our most humble endeavour to further spread the knowledge on the healing property of herbs in general and of Aloe vera in particular.
This booklet on Aloe vera is the result of joint effort by the co – authors – Dr. Ganesh Narain Chauhan and Dr. Piyush Trivedi – both of them have a long practical experience in the treatment of various ailments and diseases.
Dr. Ganesh Narain Chauhan retired from Rajasthan University as Senior Professor of Homeopathy.
