The evidence in words

The verdict

For minor burn/wound healing (topical), Aloe Vera earns evidence grade C (small effect, mixed consistency) — the evidence is limited or mixed. Modest

How it might work

Polysaccharides and other compounds support wound healing topically and may modestly affect glucose and gut inflammation orally.

How to use it

Topical gel for minor burns; decolorized inner-leaf gel orally if used.

Safety & cautions

Topical is safe; oral aloe latex is a stimulant laxative with real risks — avoid it.

Bottom line

Great on a minor burn; oral use is modest and only the purified inner-leaf gel is appropriate — avoid aloe latex.

How it is used

As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.

Topical
Gel for minor burns.
Oral
Decolorized inner-leaf gel only.
