Aloe vera, medicinal uses, pharmaceutical, pharmacological propertiesAbstract
Herbal medicine are gaining great importance in the treatment of various diseases .It has a vast traditional role in indigenous system of medicine like ayurveda, siddha, unani and homoeopathy. The pharmacologically active ingredients of aloe are concentrated in inner parenchymatous tissue, called aloe gel and outer pericyclic tubules, called aloe sap or aloe juice. This review highlights Aloe vera's diagnostic properties and diverse applications, focusing on its rich polysaccharides, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals composition. Advances in analytical chemistry are enhancing the chemical characterization of Aloe vera, promising more information and broader applications shortly. The study also explores the plant's processing into juice, concentrate, and powder forms, underscoring its extensive use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and functional foods, particularly for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
