Aloe vera linne or Aloe Barbadensis Miller is a succulent from the Aloe family (400 different species !) with its origin in the African continent. Its thick leaves contain the water supply for the plant to survive long periods of drought. These Aloe Vera Leaves have a high capacity of retaining the water also in very warm and dry climates and therefore this plant can survive very harsh circumstances where most other vegetation disappears.

When a leaf is cut, a orange-yellow sap drips from the open end.

As a drink this bitter sap has a very strong laxative effect. At the beginning of this century it was the most used raw material for laxatives in the world and although many synthetic laxatives have largely replaced it on the world market there is still a demand for this product as a raw material for laxatives. This raw material is nowadays used as basis for many other pharmaceutical products also. One of the most popular anti-rheumatic medicines has this product as its basis. When the green skin of a leaf is removed a clear mucilaginous substance appears that contains fibers, water and the ingredients to retain the water in the leaf. These ingredients give this "gel" its special qualities as they are known now for many centuries.

Among the uses for this aloe vera gel are acceleration of woundhealing, use on skinburns, moisturizing dry skin and it is taken internally for peptic ulcers or gastritis. During the ages many other claims have been made concerning the properties of this gel.

The first written reports on Aloe vera are more then 2000 years old. Alexander the Great had special interest in parts of Africa where many Aloes grew as he used them for the wounds of his soldiers, Cleopatra used it as a skin care product and also the bible mentions the use of Aloe. Ever since Aloe was a first aid plant in many houses in the world.

In the modern times scientific proof of the properties of the Aloe Vera plant was given. In 1935 an article in an American medical journal explained the very successful use of Aloe vera as a treatment of skin lesions caused by X-rays. Since then, many scientific articles were written on the use of Aloe vera as a treatment for all kinds of skin lesions and skin burns. It is used as a healthdrink for stomach problems and it proved to be a very effective skin moisturizer as an ingredient in skin care products.

It contains Pipevine, linalool, linalyl acetate, citral, cinnamatic, limonene, sabinene. 

Cosmetic Uses
Toothache tree was used in frontier times and by native Americans as a remedy for toothache, and also externally for joint pain. As many of you experienced in class, a little piece of bark contains enough of the secondary compound to produce a tingling sensation followed by numbness in the lips or gums. The leaves work as well as the bark. In fact, if you hold the leaves up to the light, you can see the small glands that produce the secondary compounds scattered around in the leaf tissue. Obviously a compound that causes numbness in vertebrate tissues would be an effective deterrent to herbivores, because it would cause numbness and loss of function in the digestive tract of any animal that ate the plant's leaves or other tissues. 

Most if not all members of this family produce "secondary compounds", which are metabolic products that are not part of the primary metabolic pathways of the plant (e.g. are not involved in photosynthesis or respiration, nor are structural parts of the plant). The fruit, branches and thorns are used as a remedy for toothache. The roots, stem bark and wood yield the alkaloid magnoflorine. 

Several Zanthoxylum species grow throughout the temperate belt of China, Japan, the Himalayas and North America. They all have similarities, being aromatic and used in herbal remedies. Only the pipertium variety of the East is useful for cooking. In Japan the wood of the prickly ash is used to make mortars and pestles which impart some flavour to the substances being ground. The Japanese also use the wood for tobacco pipes. Szechwan pepper is still fairly uncommon in the West, so it may be helpful when looking for it to be familiar with some of the other common names and spellings for it: Sichuan pepper, Szechwan pepper and fagara to name a few - see below for others.
