  • Title: Processed Aloe vera administered topically inhibits inflammation.
    Author: Davis RH, Rosenthal KY, Cesario LR, Rouw GA.
    Journal: J Am Podiatr Med Assoc; 1989 Aug; 79(8):395-7. PubMed ID: 2810076.
    Abstract:
    Aloe vera preparations were evaluated for topical anti-inflammatory activity using the croton oil-induced edema assay. The results show that small amounts of A. vera given topically will inhibit inflammation induced by a moderate amount of irritant. In general, the decolorized Aloe was more effective than the colorized Aloe (with anthraquinone). A 47.1% inhibition of inflammation was obtained by 5% decolorized irradiated Aloe. These results may be used as a baseline to assess the biologic activity of A. vera in the treatment of inflammation by podiatric physicians.
