Özet
Objective: Aloe barbadensis Miller, also known as Aloe vera is a perennial succulent plant with fleshy and jagged leaves. The chemical composition and usage areas of A. vera leaf products, gel and latex, are quite different from each other. The present study aims to investigate usage of the leaf products as topical and oral therapeutic and disease prevention. Result and Discussion: A. vera has a wide content of chemical components and biological activities associated with these components purified from the plant. Generally reached judgment is that the whole plant is stronger in most pharmacological activity than the extracted ingredients alone, and that the plant components together exert synergistic effect. With the advancing technology, it is seen that the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects of plant leaves that support wound healing shed light on wider application areas. Especially the addition of gel to the content of wound dressings, fabrics, antibacterial products and personal care products using nanotechnology and other advanced methods creates wider areas of use where we can benefit from these therapeutic properties of the plant. By following the developments in the field of industry, multidisciplinary studies should be carried out in order to develop effective, safe and natural products that we can benefit from the therapeutic qualities of the plant at the highest level. © 2021 University of Ankara.
