Key Constituents
Acemannan and other glucomannans are the principal gel polysaccharides, underlying the emollient and wound-healing effects.
Found mainly in the leaf latex (not the inner gel); responsible for the traditional laxative effect and requiring caution with prolonged use.
Minor bioactive enzymes, vitamins (including C and E) and minerals contribute to the antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties of the gel.
Principal diuretic and antioxidant constituents of the leaf.
Characteristic bark triterpenes, betulin giving birch bark its white colour; studied for anticancer and anti-inflammatory activity.
Contribute to the astringent and antioxidant properties of the bark and leaf.
Pharmacological Actions
Aloe vera and its anthraquinone aloe-emodin show dose-dependent antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic activity against multiple cancer types in vitro and in vivo (preclinical).
Traditional & Indicated Uses

Safety, Cautions & Contraindications
Topical use of aloe gel is generally safe for most people. Oral use of aloe latex as a laxative is potentially unsafe with prolonged use due to risk of dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and potential kidney damage. Aloe latex contains anthraquinone glycosides which may cause abdominal cramping and diarrhea. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. May interact with diabetes medications, diuretics, and laxatives. Oral aloe gel at typical doses appears safe short-term but long-term safety is unclear. Allergic reactions possible in sensitive individuals.
Duke (2002) reports clinical evidence (score 2/3) supporting aloe gel's use in psoriasis, constipation (in adults), and as a vulnerary. Gel preparations have been clinically validated for peptic ulcers (excluding stress-induced), radiation burns, and skin ulcers. Dose: 1 tablespoon gel three times daily or 50–200 mg dried juice equivalent per day as a laxative. An important safety distinction is made: the gel (inner leaf mucilage) is AHPA Class 1 (safe), while the inner leaf juice or dried latex is Class 2b due to anthraquinone content and is contraindicated in intestinal inflammation, colitis, Crohn's disease, appendicitis, and during menstruation (Duke, 2002).
Generally considered safe when used appropriately. Side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, and allergic reactions (itching, rash, stuffy nose). Not recommended for individuals with edema caused by heart or kidney dysfunction. Ensure adequate fluid intake when using as a diuretic. Frequency of side effects is unknown.
Duke (2002) provides clinical evidence (score 2) for birch leaf's diuretic activity, as well as for its use in urinary gravel, kidney stones, and rheumatic conditions — consistent with Commission E (KOM) and German Phytotherapy (PIP) approvals. It acts as an aquaretic, increasing urine volume without electrolyte loss. Antimelanomic activity has been demonstrated in experimental studies. The plant has a good safety profile and is classified as non-toxic at usual therapeutic doses (Duke, 2002).

Botanical Description
Succulent, rosette-forming perennial with thick, fleshy, lance-shaped leaves edged with soft, pale teeth, each leaf filled with a clear, slippery, mucilaginous gel beneath a tougher green rind. In favourable conditions it produces a tall flowering spike bearing tubular yellow (sometimes orange) flowers.[1]
Elegant deciduous tree with a slender trunk, distinctive smooth white bark that peels in papery horizontal strips and becomes dark and fissured near the base with age, and characteristically drooping ('pendulous') branchlets. The leaves are small, triangular to diamond-shaped, doubly toothed and long-pointed. Male and female flowers are borne in separate catkins on the same tree in spring.[1]
Habitat
Believed native to the Arabian Peninsula, and now cultivated and naturalised throughout arid and semi-arid tropical and subtropical regions worldwide as a garden, medicinal and commercial crop.[1]
A pioneer tree of light, well-drained, often poor or acidic soils, growing in woodland, heathland and waste ground across Europe and much of temperate Asia.[1]
Harvesting
Outer, mature leaves are cut close to the base as needed; the clear inner gel (mucilage) is separated from the outer rind and from the bitter yellow latex (aloin-containing exudate) just under the rind, since the gel and the latex have different uses and safety profiles.[1]
Leaves are picked in spring and early summer while young and tender; bark is collected from felled or fallen wood (living trees should not be stripped of bark, which can kill them); sap is tapped in early spring, before leaf-out, through a small hole bored in the trunk.[1]
Traditional Uses
Aloe vera has an ancient reputation, recorded from ancient Egypt onward, as a topical remedy for burns, wounds and skin inflammation (the 'burn plant' / 'first aid plant'), and the bitter leaf latex has been used traditionally as a stimulant laxative. It remains one of the most widely used topical botanicals for skin care and minor wound healing.[1]
Birch leaf is a classic European 'aquaretic' diuretic used for urinary gravel, kidney stones and as a spring detoxifying tonic, and for rheumatic and joint complaints; the bark and its extracts have a long folk history for skin conditions, while the sap has been drunk fresh as a traditional spring tonic.[1]
Preparations
Dosage
The WHO monograph on Aloe Vera Gel specifies fresh gel, or preparations containing 10-70% fresh gel, applied to the affected skin area. Educational reference only, not a prescription.
The EU herbal monograph gives 2-3 g of the comminuted leaf in 150 mL of boiling water as an infusion, up to 4 times daily, in adolescents, adults and elderly, with adequate fluid intake; dry extract at 0.25-1 g 4 times daily and liquid extract at 15 mL 2-3 times daily are also listed. Traditionally used over a period of 2-4 weeks. Not recommended under 12 years. Educational reference only, not a prescription.
