ABSTRACT

Aloe is a native plant from arid regions that has been used as a medicinal plant since ancient times. Its uses on different pathologies depend on biological issues like the variety species of the plant, and even of cultural issues (traditions and empirical knowledge). There are more than 360 species of Aloe and there is scientific support for the medicinal properties of only some of them being the Aloe vera the most studied and currently marketed. Certain compounds of Aloe, like polyphenols and antracenes have beneficial health properties. Many of its beneficial effects on different diseases are associated with their antioxidant and antiinflamatory response. These beneficial effects have been observed in several studies both in vivo and in vitro. Although there is much scientific support for several of the beneficial effects for Aloe, there are still many aspects to be studied to fully understand the mechanisms of the beneficial action of Aloe.
