Aloe
Vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) is one of the most widely used medicinal
plants in traditional and modern medicine [1, 2]. The plant contains
more than 200 biologically active compounds, including polysaccharides,
anthraquinones, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids [3-5].
These phytochemicals contribute to a wide range of pharmacological activities
including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, wound healing, immunomodulatory,
and metabolic regulatory effects [6-8].
Aloe
Vera has extensive applications in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals,
dermatology, and cosmetic formulations [9, 11]. Both oral and
topical preparations of Aloe Vera have been investigated in clinical trials for
conditions such as diabetes, wound healing, gastrointestinal disorders, and inflammatory
skin diseases [1, 12, 14]. The primary bioactive compound,
acemannan, plays a crucial role in immune modulation and tissue repair
[15, 17]. This review summarizes the botany, cultivation, phytochemistry,
pharmacological mechanisms, dermatological applications, and clinical evidence
supporting the therapeutic use of Aloe Vera [18, 19].
