ALOE ~ BOOKS OF SHADOWS

Aloes Powder (Aloe ferox; Cape Aloe) 1 lb: K

This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. The powder is turned into a gel by adding water. Aloe ferox gel is exceptional among the gels of other aloe species because of its high calcium and total amino-acid content. In this regard it far surpasses Aloe vera and other species utilised for their gel. The 34 different amino-acids contained in Aloe ferox gel amount to more than 30nMol/mg of the dry mass of whole leaf. Aloe ferox is used precisley the same way as Aloe vera, and is covered by the old herbalists in the same article, under the heading 'Aloes.' As the Eclectic Materia Medica, 1922, puts it, 'The dried juice of the leaves of several species of Aloe: (1) Aloe Perryi, Baker; (2) Aloe vera, Linné; (3) Aloe ferox, Miller. (Nat. Ord. Liliaceae). Barbadoes, Africa and the Orient. Common Names: (1) Socotrine Aloes; (2) Curaçoa Aloes; (3) Cape Aloes.' As Grieve puts it, 'There is little to choose medicinally between the Curacoa and Socotrine varieties...' When applied externally, gel or preparations of gel made from the plant powder achieve anti-inflammatory effects through activity against bradykinin, prostaglandin and thromboxane, which are substances involved in causing inflammatory swelling, pain and constriction of small blood vessels. Laboratory experiments have shown that the gel stimulates the growth not only of lymphocytes, which are important blood cells in immunological defence mechanisms, but also of fibroblastic cells in skin and connective tissues, thus aiding in tissue regeneration after wounding. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Aloes for 'Constipation. Dosage: Aloe powder, aqueous and aqueous-alcoholic extracts in powdered or liquid form, for oral use. Unless otherwise prescribed: 20 - 30 mg hydroxyanthracene derivatives/day, calculated as anhydrous aloin. The individually correct dosage is the smallest dosage necessary to maintain a soft stool.' Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The drug Aloes is one of the safest and best warm and stimulating purgatives to persons of sedentary habits and phlegmatic constitutions. An ordinary small dose takes from 15 to 18 hours to produce an effect. Its action is exerted mainly on the large intestine, for which reason, also it is useful as a vermifuge. Its use, however, is said to induce Piles.' 'Preparations of Aloes are rarely prescribed alone, they require the addition of carminatives to moderate the tendency to griping. The compound preparations of Aloes in use generally contain such correctives, but powdered Aloes and the extracts of Aloes represent the crude drug.' 'Aloes in one form or another is the commonest domestic medicine and is the basis of most proprietary or so-called 'patent' pills.' 'There is little to choose medicinally between the Curacoa and Socotrine varieties, but the former
