Medical Uses Of Aloe Vera - Health Benefits
Aloe Vera as anti-leukemic / Anti-Mutagenic : Study isolated di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) from Aloe vera. It exhibited growth inhibition against three leukemic cell lines and reduced AF-2-induced mutagenicity. DEHP was considered the active principle responsible for the anti-leukemic and anti-mutagenic effects in vitro.Aloe vera has Acemannan / Macrophage Activation : Study isolated a major carbohydrate fraction from the gell of Aloe vera leaf. It has been claimed to accelerate wound healing, immune stimulation and have anti-cancer and anti-viral effects. Study showed acemannan stimulate cytokine production, nitric oxide release. The production of cytokines IL-6 and TNF-alpha were acemannan dose-dependent. The results suggest acemannan may function, in part, through macrophage activation.
Aloe Vera for Biochemotherapy:Study showed percentage of both objective tumor regressions and disease control was significantly higher in patients concomitantly treated with Aloe than with chemotherapy alone. Study suggest Aloe may be beneficial to use with chemotherapy to increase efficacy in terms of both tumore regression and survival time.Aloe Vera as Antigenotoxic : Study showed antigenotoxic potentials of aloe and suggests a potential use in prevention of DNA damage caused by chemical agents.
Aloe-emodin / Anticancer / Antiproliferative : Study sh owed aloe-emodin inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in two human liver cancer cell lines, but with different antiproliferative mechanisms. Results suggest aloe-emodin may be useful in liver cancer prevention.
Aloeride / Immunostimulatory Activity : Study characterized a new immunostimulatory polysaccharide, Aloeride, from commercial aloe vera juice

Aloe Vera Herbal Medicine Precautions, Side Effects
- Use of topical aloe vera is not associated with significant side effects.
- A 2-year National Toxicology Program (NTP) study on oral consumption of non-decolorized whole leaf extract of aloe vera found clear evidence of carcinogenic activity in male and female rats, based on tumors of the large intestine. According to the NTP, from what is known right now there is nothing that would lead them to believe that these findings are not relevant to humans. However, more information, including how individuals use different types of aloe vera products, is needed to determine the potential risks to humans.
- Abdominal cramps and diarrhea have been reported with oral use of aloe vera.
- Diarrhea, caused by the laxative effect of oral aloe vera, can decrease the absorption of many drugs.
- People with diabetes who use glucose-lowering medication should be cautious if also taking aloe vera by mouth because preliminary studies suggest aloe may lower blood glucose levels.
- There have been a few case reports of acute hepatitis from aloe vera taken orally. However, the evidence is not definitive.

WHAT IS ATI RATRAM...
About Athirathram
It is well-known that the vedic rituals have come down to us in two broad types, the Grhya and the Srauta. The Grhya system is concerned with rites of passage of an individual such as the initiatory rite of the upanayana or marriage later. The Srauta ritual, on the other hand, is solemn and exalted, show casing in oral tradition the great learning of the Sruti literature, comprising, in other words, the three Vedas, (Rig-Yajur-Sama-vedas) and their ancillary texts. Whereas the Grhya system is still extant almost all over India, the Srauta type has survived in only isolated pockets of Brahman groups.
The Nambudiri Brahmans of Kerala from one such pocket, keeping up live traditions of the Srauta rituals. Three types of Srauta rituals from their repertory, the agnyadhana, the agnistoma, and agnicayana-atiratra, the first one setting up the three fires of a Srauta ritual and being initiatory to the latter two, both Srauta ritals of the Soma class. The agnistoma, or Somayagam as it is known among the Nambudiris, is the prakrti or paradigmatic model of the Soma ritual, lasting five days. The agnicayana-athirathra is a vikrti-modification-of the agnistoma, Agni to the Nambudiris, lasting twelve days, a great spectacle and display of learning.
It is with great honour that we announce that an Agni or Athirathram is planned in Panjal from April 4-15, 2011. Panjal was also the site of an Athirathram, in 1975 what has become the stuff of legend and romance, often viewed to have caused a resurgence of the Nambudiri Srauta culture in the following decades. We have had two Athirathrams since then one at Kundoor in 1990 and other at Kizhakkancherry in 2006 and more than five Somayagams in different years and different sites.
