Aloe vera gel is a mucilaginous preparation obtained from the leaves of Aloe vera (syn. Aloe barbadensis) once the sap has been drained away. It is widely used in cosmetic products for its purported emollient and moisturizing effects. It is claimed to have antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties and has been proposed as a potentially useful agent for radiation and thermal wounds (see Chapter 12).

Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) is a frequently used alternative medicine, and manufacturers of its related products certainly run an exceptionally successful advertising campaign (Fig. 3.28). However, the amoimt or intensity of marketing seldom correlates with the medicinal value of the product advertised. Leaflets or magazine articles about /oe vera are next to useless as sources of credible information. Their claims are often ridicitlously inflated, or even scientifically absurd.

In one study (Davis, 1986), subcutaneous injections of A. barbadensis inhibited mustard-induced rat paw edema compared to control (p < 0.01). The effectiveness increased with the use of RNA and vitamin C (p < 0.001). Another study (Vazquez et al., 1996) showed that intraperitoneally administered aloe vera extracts decreased carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and peritoneal neutrophil infiltration in response to carrageenan. It was also shown that aloe vera decreased prostaglandin E2 production. Mice receiving subcutaneous injections with colorized aloe vera gel containing anthraquinones at doses of 1, 10, and 100 mg/kg for 7 d had no reduction in their wound diameter (Davis et al., 1987). However, those receiving the same doses of decolorized (i.e., without anthraquinones) aloe vera had a decrease in wound diameter. Rats injected with colorized aloe vera for 12 d also had a decrease in wound diameter. These same authors also noted that polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) infiltration and inflammation are decreased by both colorized and decolorized aloe vera.
