What
the research shows
Studies show that topical aloe gel application eases
acute inflammation and itching, promotes wound healing,
and reduces pain. Fresh aloe may have value in treating
burns and minor tissue injury, although studies aren't
well documented. The Food and Drug Administration
considers topical aloe to be generally safe, although it
doesn't recommend aloe for any specific condition.
No studies support internal consumption of aloe juice.
Aloe laxatives that contain anthraquinone have dramatic
effects, and most experts recommend less toxic
laxatives.
A recent study found that aloe can alter the body's DNA.
This finding may lead to research investigating aloe's
possible role in treating cancer.
