Aloe vera has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for treating various skin conditions, including abrasions, but its use is also supported by modern scientific evidence. Aloe vera gel, derived from the inner leaf of the Aloe plant, contains compounds such as polysaccharides, glycoproteins, and vitamins that are known to promote wound healing and reduce inflammation. Several in vitro and in vivo studies, as well as human clinical trials, have shown that topical application of Aloe vera can accelerate the healing of minor wounds, including abrasions, by enhancing fibroblast activity, increasing collagen synthesis, and improving re-epithelialization. For example, a randomized controlled trial published in Burns (2012) found that Aloe vera gel significantly hastened wound healing compared to conventional treatments in patients with minor skin injuries. Another systematic review in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (2015) concluded that Aloe vera has significant wound healing properties, particularly for superficial wounds. While not all studies are uniformly positive, and some methodological limitations exist, the overall body of evidence supports the efficacy of Aloe vera for minor skin abrasions. Aloe is widely used in commercial over-the-counter products for this purpose, further reflecting its established scientific and traditional use.
