What is a biostimulant?
The concept of “biostimulants” was introduced into medicine by scientists V. P. Filatov. What is it? These are substances that secrete living tissue, which is on the verge of ceasing its activity, in order to fight for survival. It was experimentally noted that in the presence of special conditions, such substances significantly increase the defenses of a person, activate immunity, and accordingly, the patient’s health status improves, and the healing process is much easier and faster.
Aloe is also capable of producing bio-stimulating substances. But this requires a series of specific actions with the plant in order to create conditions that are dangerous for its vital activity. For example, it is necessary not to water the flower for two weeks, and then leave the cut leaves for several days in a cool, dark place - this way the production of necessary substances is stimulated. It is thanks to this ability that aloe has beneficial properties. And the use of aloe in medicine is also associated with the release of specific biologically active substances in a plant.
