Aloe Vera The Medicinal Plant For Centuries is Becoming a Lucrative Business in Era of COVID-19

 By Roperfree


Aloe Vera has been used for medical purposes in several cultures for many years ago across the globe, dating back to ancient Egypt as the Egyptian queens Nefertiti and Cleopatra used it as part of the regular beauty regimes. The plant is native to North Africa, Southern Europe and the Canary Islands. Alexander the Great, and Christopher Columbus used it to treat soldiers’ wounds.


 

In Africa it has been widely used as medicinal plant and in Luganda it is called “Ekigajji” but this wonder medicinal plant is cash machine by it itself when you have it  in your farm garden you could use it  as ATM to mint cash  due to many benefits such as according to health line.com :

 

An alternative to mouthwash

The Ethiopian Journal of Health Sciences in 2014, researchers found Aloe Vera extract to be a safe and effective alternative to chemical-based mouthwashes. The plant’s natural ingredients, which include a healthy dose of vitamin C, can block plaque. It can also provide relief if you have bleeding and swollen gums.          


 

Lowering blood sugar

Ingesting two tablespoons of Aloe Vera juice per day can cause blood sugar levels to fall in people with type 2 diabetes. This could mean that Aloe Vera may have a future in diabetes treatment and to provide evidence, one of my family who lives in UK on routine medical check-up he was diagnosed with diabetes on border line and quickly went to super market and started taking a Aloe Vera but when he returned for another check up the mild diabetes could not be detected anymore and this inspired me to turn my home grown Aloe Vera into making hand sanitisers with Aloe Vera moisturizers after being encouraged by one of the directors of Roperfree  during the start  of COVID-19 to fight against the pandemic


 

A natural laxative

Aloe Vera is considered a natural laxative.  A handful of studies have looked into the benefits of the succulent to aid digestion.

 


Skin care

You can use Aloe Vera to keep your skin clear and hydrated. This may be because the plant thrives in dry, unstable climates. To survive the harsh conditions, the plant’s leaves store water. These water-dense leaves, combined with special plant compounds called complex carbohydrates, make it an effective face moisturizer and pain reliever and according to WHO could be used as moisturizer in hand sanitizers to easy the burning sensation with this  window of opportunity Roperfree couldn’t  wait to produce Roperfree hand sanitizer with moisturizer 

 


 

Potential to fight breast cancer

A new study published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine looked at the therapeutic properties of aloe emodin, a compound in the plant’s leaves. The authors suggest that the succulent shows potential in slowing the growth of breast cancer. However, more studies are needed to further advance this theory.


 

Business-to business (B2B)

Business-to- business form has opened up new opportunities as earlier last week on February 10, 2021 after the re-connection of social media platforms in Uganda a company which sells us alcohol ethanol we use in making hand sanitizers inquired from us whether they could buy Aloe Vera extracts and boom! The deal was struck which opened our eyes to start selling Aloe Vera Extracts online and orders have been flowing in ever since. This business venture was stumbled upon but it looks to be lucrative!
