Aloe Vera - How it Works

The first step is to clean the wound with Aloe Advantage Cleanser with Phenol.
PROBLEM: Usually cleaning the affected area is done with iodine based products. With iodine scrubs, you may have some burning, stinging and staining. With the garden hose cleansing, there may be very little irritation as far as stinging, however, it is certain that if bacteria is present on the wound, the garden hose will not destroy it.  Depending on your water supply, using a garden hose may actually add to the problem. Both of these options may also leave the affected area dehydrated.
SOLUTION: By using the Aloe Advantage Cleanser with Phenol you are doing so much more than just cleansing the affected area. The ingredient "phenol " is an analgesic and a disinfectant. As an analgesic, it quickly numbs the wound as soon as the Cleanser is sprayed onto the affected area has the same effect as Chloroseptic does when it is sprayed on the back of a sore throat. The numbing action along with the "trigger sprayer", with a PSI of 7,that can be sprayed from a safe distance or on a hard to reach area makes the perfect combination for treating a young or spooked horse.
As a disinfectant, phenol works to eliminate any bacteria or fungus that may have or might yet set up on the affected area. Bacteria is often the culprit behind prolonged healing and proud flesh. To eliminate and prevent bacteria will certainly speed up the healing process. The Cleanser with Phenol can also be used on fungal skin conditions.
The Aloe vera in the Cleanser immediately begins to supply the affected area with moisture so that the cells may begin to reconstruct healthy tissue from the inside out for quick and proper results. Aloe vera also has properties associated with anti-inflammatory action.
The trigger sprayer is not only convenient and fast, but also helps to force out dried or decayed matter inside the affected area. It can also be used in cold weather. Just point and spray, no need to rinse.

The second step is to treat the affected area with Aloe Advantage Hydrogel Spray.
PROBLEM: Depending on the affected area and the animal, sometimes treatment can be very difficult. If it is a serious affected area, you will need something that can get down inside that affected area to keep it clean and to keep cells reproducing.
SOLUTION: The Aloe Advantage Hydrogel Spray clings to the affected area, getting into every deep, tiny crevice. The trigger sprayer makes it very convenient and fast. The phenol numbs the skin, while the Aloe vera and Allantoin nourishes the affected area. As the "gel" comes in contact with the affected area, the body temperature of the animal causes it to melt throughout the entire affected area, ensuring complete coverage. Because Aloe vera is a natural carrier, the gel is absorbed into the affected area resulting in no waste.
This spray nourishes the affected area and contains Phenol, the most effective antiseptic in any horse care product without a prescription. Adjustable sprayer gives the right spray to add convenience and eliminate contact with the affected area.

The third step is to protect the wound with Aloe Advantage Aloe Creme.
PROBLEM: The viscosity of many cremes is very heavy and greasy and ends up suffocating an affected area. The affected area will probably heal, but because there is no air supply, it will not heal properly. It will heal much slower and could leave a hairless scar.
SOLUTION: The viscosity and texture of the Aloe Creme is light and non-greasy. It allows the skin to breathe, therefore the affected area may heal form the inside out. The Aloe vera, a natural carrier, helps to carry the Vitamins A, D, and E within the affected area to nourish and rebuild the site. The result is a quick healing affected area with minimal scarring and minimal hair loss. The Aloe Creme is like having an "invisible bandage" on the wound. It protects while it allows the skin to breathe.
PROBLEM: Flies landing on the affected area.
SOLUTION: One of the added benefits of Aloe Advantage's Aloe Creme is that it deters flies. They just do not like it!
