CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This section contains the review of related literature and studies. This includes the uses
of aloe vera and calamansi, properties of aloe vera and calamansi, benefits of aloe vera
and calamansi. In addition, it also includes theoretical framework, conceptual framework
and operational definition of terms.
Properties of Aloe Vera
Aloe vera properties make them very versatile. When ingested, they are incredibly
soothing, loaded with antioxidants, and offer countless other health benefits. Of course,
the various species of aloe will be composed of different compounds and properties.
Even the inner and outer parts of aloe leaves contain different properties. The biggest
between most of them is typically the amount and density of minerals, vitamins, and
nutrients (Dr. Edward, 2016). In addition, aloe vera properties includes Anti-Pruritic
Properties and Healing Properties.
Anti-Pruritic Properties
Anti-pruritic properties are those that can alleviate itching and dryness. Pruritus ailments
include vexing skin and scalp issues, like psoriasis and eczema. Psoriasis is an auto-
immune disease characterized by the excessive production of skin cells. Recall, Aloe
Vera’s enzymatic properties, enabling Aloe to destroy excessive dead skin cells, while
conditioning the skin and scalp.
Since excess skin cell production is the heart of Psoriasis’ existence, you could see why
Aloe is able help eliminate this issue. Aloe can also reduce the redness, scaling, itching
and inflammation of scalp psoriasis, which directly benefits the hair, as well
(Anonymous, 2012).
Healing Properties
Aloe is an excellent treatment for skin conditions such as burns and eczema. It is often
reported that burns can be healed remarkably quickly and the pain reduced very quickly
with topical application of Aloe Vera to the burn area. As well as applying topically, Aloe
can also be taken internally so it is just as useful for internal epithelial tissues as it is for
the skin. For example, mouth and stomach ulcers, nasal, and sinuses, bowels, lungs
and genital tract (Anonymous, 2012).
Properties of Calamansi
Aromatic, antiseptic, antiphlogistic, carminative, deodorant, refrigerant. Studies have
suggested antimicrobial, antianxiety, antidepressant, hepatoprotective, expectorant and
antioxidant properties (Straut Jr., 2016).
Angiogenesis or the development of blood vessels and oxidation or the radical
transformation of cellular substances are two key processes that contribute to cancer
progression. Hence, the study that evaluated the antiangiogenic and antioxidant
properties of different concentrations of calamansi (citrusmicrocarpa) ethanolic peel
extract can lower the number of blood vessels that can trigger cancer progression and
more powerful antioxidant property than the ascorbic acid (Anonymous, 2016).
Uses of Calamansi                   
Calamansi is one of the tiniest and cheapest fruit that you will see in the market. It is a
small fruit but it does not reflect the many benefits it can give your body. This fruit helps
in enhancing beauty, helps promote your immune system and help you lose weight
(Yayang, 2014).
 
The following are the other uses of calamansi, calamansi can be used for hair growth.

calamansi to reduce it. Just rub it to your scalp to reduce itching. It can be also used as
a deodorant. After taking a bath, rub the slice calamansi in your armpit and let it dry. It

armpits. It helps whiten your skin. If you are dizzy or nauseous, you can smell the peel

civilizations. Today, it has a strong global reputation due to widespread usage in
cosmetics, particularly to treat burns and sunburn, to aid wound healing, and fight
against cell aging. It also helps in reinforcing the immune system and improve blood
circulation. In addition, aloe vera gel can relieve sunburn and help heal wounds. But this
plant can also be used for much more than sunburn and household reliefs (Anonymous,
n.d.).

Phytotherapy research that used pulp extract. People with diabetes who take glucose-
