ABSTRACT
Aloe vera has been used as a traditional therapy for a range of
ailments, with the plant's inner gel being the most commonly studied and
utilised. These plants are favoured because they are effortlessly available,
affordable, and have rarer bad side effects than commercially available
pharmaceutical compounds, say proponents. However, there hasn't been enough
research done on the active components and the precise mechanisms by which they
work. Identifying active ingredients and their functional mechanisms in wound
healing is the focus of this review. Using A. vera gel for wound healing has
been found to have a positive reaction, but this has only been demonstrated in
the case of minor, uncomplicated lesions. Different active components including
aloesin and aloin have been suggested to have a synergistic effect on the
plant's actions, rather than a single chemical acting alone. For now, the plant
should only be used in conjunction with other well-established, scientifically
supported treatments.
