Aloe Vera
Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties. This plant has been esteemed for its medicinal benefits in various civilizations. Two components of the aloe vera plant contain substances that alleviate skin irritation and other health problems. The first component is the gel inside the plant’s leaves. The gel is composed of 1% glycoproteins and polysaccharides and 98% water. Glycoproteins aid in the decrease of inflammation and discomfort, whereas polysaccharides aid in the restoration of skin. Glycoproteins and polysaccharides help bolster the immune system, enhancing the body’s ability to fight against infections around the anus and rectum.
The second component is aloe latex, a yellow pulp underneath the leaf’s outer surface. Aloe latex includes anthraquinone glycosides, which are very laxative. People use aloe latex to soften feces and facilitate bowel motions. In addition to alleviating hemorrhoid symptoms, aloe vera juice can also be consumed to relieve constipation.
Aloe vera may be bought commercially or gathered directly from the plant’s leaves. Do not add additives and preservatives in aloe vera that might exacerbate symptoms. Apply aloe vera two to three times each week. Refrigerating aloe vera for 15 to 20 minutes before application may enhance its anti-inflammatory qualities.
