The pure aloe vera gel is often used by people who suffer from acne, neurodermatitis or psoriasis. The cool gel also helps with minor burns, such as sunburn. It relieves pain through the active ingredient salicylic acid, moisturizes, cools, reduces the inflammatory reaction and promotes regeneration and healing of small wounds, e.g. minor abrasions.
Aloe vera juice contains aloin, which has a laxative effect and can therefore be used sensibly for constipation.
