Introduction
Herbal medicine has been widely used all over the world and
formed an integral part of primary health care in many countries
including Ethiopia Desta [1]. The use of medicinal plants to treat
infections is an old practice in a large part of the world especially
in developing countries where there is dependence on traditional
medicine to maintain animal and human health Yisehak et al. [2].
Plants remain the most common source of antimicrobial agents.
Many of the active ingredients in chemically manufactured drugs
were originally derived from plant compounds (Mohan et al.,
2002). Under re-discovering the treasure of the ancients, using me-
dicinal plants to treat livestock is not new Hany et al. [3]. There is a
renewed interest, especially in developed countries, in using plants
to treat livestock, pets, and humans. Because many people believe
that plants are less toxic, safer and more natural than manufactured
drugs. Medicinal plants can be made at home and are less expensive
than manufactured drugs Hany et al. [3]. Medicinal plants would be
the best source for obtaining a variety of drugs According to World
Health Organization. It is recognized that in some developing coun
tries, plants are the main medicinal source to treat various infec-

belonging to the Asphodelaceae family (Baby et al. 2010). A. Vera is
the oldest and the most applied medicinal plant worldwide Karkala
et al. [5]. It grows mainly in dry regions of Africa, Asia, Europe and
America Sonia et al. [6]. There are more than 250 species of Aloe
plants. However, only two species are grown today commercially,

Abstract
Aloe vera is a plant with height of almost 60-100cm containing very short stem or stem-less long leaves and belongs to the family
Asphodelaceae. The aloe vera or succulent has a long history of being used for medicinal purposes, dating back to ancient Egypt. Aloe species are
widely distributed in the African and the eastern European continents, and are spread almost throughout the world. The plant leaves contains
numerous vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, natural sugars and other bioactive compounds with emollient, purgative, anti-microbial,

vera plant in veterinary practices.
Historical Background of Aloe Vera
The Aloe plant and its’ derivative products have played a role
in medicine and health care dating as far back as the 4th century
B.C. when ancient Greek doctors obtained aloe from the island of
Socotra in the Indian Ocean. The medicinal use of aloe was already
mentioned more than 4000 years ago in a collection of Sumerian
clay tablets dated 2100 BC. Aloe was also mentioned as a laxative
in the Egyptian Papyrus Ebers from 1552 B.C Karkala et al. [5]. Aloe
has had a very long historical use as a strong laxative treatment for
chronic constipation; it is still listed as a laxative in many pharma-
copoeias Karkala et al. [5]. History states that Alexander and Chris-
topher Columbus used Aloe Vera for treating wounded soldiers
Vasani and Saple [10].

ed leaves that grow to about 30 to 50 cm in length and 10 cm in
breadth at the base in the adult plant (Boudreaue and Bland, 2006).
The Leaf Has Three Layers: The outer layer is called Rind and has
a protective function, synthesizes carbohydrates and proteins. The
middle layer has a yellow sap which is bitter and contains anth-
raquinones and glycosides. An inner layer is clear gel and contains
96% water. The rest is made of amino acids, lipids, sterols and vi-
tamins (Wynn et al. 2006). The vascular bundles located within
the leaf pulp, transport, water and minerals from the roots to the
leaves; synthesized materials to the roots Yates et al. [12]. The suc-
culent property enables the species to survive in areas where there
is no enough rainfall. The species is hardy, although it is intolerant
to very heavy frost or snow Darokar et al. [13].
Chemical Constituents of Aloe Vera
The main constituents of Aloe vera gel are mucopolysaccha-
rides (glucomannans, polymannoses, about 10% of total solids),
enzymes, anthranoids, lignin, saponins, vitamins, amino acids (al-
most 50% of the total amount consisting of 8 of the 10 essential
amino acids) and minerals (quantities not given). Total solids are
in the range of 1.3 to 2%, the rest being water Lawless et al. [14].
I. Vitamins
Aloe Vera Contains Numerous Vitamins: Vitamin A, C, and D (are
crucial antioxidants that combat free radicals in the body). Vitamin
B and choline are concerned with the production of energy, amino
acid metabolism developing muscle mass. Vitamin B12 (folic acid)
is responsible for the production of red blood cells Jalal et al. [15].
II. Anthraquinones
Different Types of Anthraquinones are Present in A.Ve-
ra Like: Aloin, Isobarbaloin, Anthracene, Emodin, Barbaloin, An-
thranol, Aloetic acid, Aloe Emodin and Resistannol. They act as
natural laxatives, painkillers and analgesics and they contain pow-
erful antibacterial, antifungal and virucidal properties Mahor and
Sharique [16].
III. Minerals
A. Vera Contains the Following Minerals: Calcium (essential
for proper bone and teeth density)-Manganese (a component of
enzymes necessary for the activation of other enzymes)-Sodium

proper function of insulin, which in turn controls the sugar levels in
the blood)-Iron (controls the transportation of oxygen around the
body via the red blood cells Jalal et al. [15].
IV. Sugars: Aloe Vera provides monosaccharides (Glucose
and fructose) and polysaccharides (Glucomannans/polymannose).
These are derived from the mucilage layer of the plant and are
known as mucopolysacherides. The most common polysacherides
are glucomannans (beta 1-4, acetylated mannan). Aglycoprotein
with anti-allergic properties, called alprogen has been isolated
from Aloe Vera gel Sonia et al. [6].

VI. Enzymes
Some the Enzymes in the A.Vera Are: peroxidase, alliase, cat-
alase, lipase, cellulose, carboxypeptase, amylase and alkaline phos-
phatase. Enzymes help to breakdown food and assist in digestion.
Some enzymes help to breakdown fats while others breakdown
starches and sugars Jalal et al. [15].

Hot Processing and Flash Cooling
In hot processing, sterilization is achieved by treating the aloe
liquid with the activated carbon at high temperature Rodriguez et
al. [19]. This step may affect the taste, appearance and the biologi-
cal activity of aloe gel products. Biological activity of A.vera gel es-
sentially remains intact when gel is heated at 65°C for a period of
less than 15 min. Extended periods or higher temperatures greatly

to 5°C or below within 15 s to preserve biological activity Amit and
Shweta [17].
Cold Processing
In the cold processing technique, the entire processing steps
are accomplished without the application of the heat. This tech-
nique uses enzymes like glucose oxidase and catalase to inhibit the
growth of aerobic organisms within A. Vera gel Coats [20].
Addition of Preservatives and Stabilizers
In all the processing techniques, preservation can be achieved
by the addition of chemical preservatives and other additives. For
example; algal polysaccharides or xantham gum could stabilize the
network structure of fresh Aloe vera polysaccharide Yaron et al.
[21].

Health Benets of Aloe Vera
A. vera is a plant that can be used alone or in combination with
other substances of natural or synthetic origin. There is a synergis-
tic effect with also veterinary drugs (Grazyna et al. 2005).
Anti-Microbial Effect
Despite the existence of potent antibiotic and anti-fungal
agents, resistant or multi-resistant strains are continuously ap-
pearing, imposing the need for a permanent search and develop-
ment of new drugs. Plants are the cheapest safer and time-tested
alternative sources of antimicrobial. In ancient times, people be-
lieved that plants had curative powers. Phytotherapy or phytomedi-
cine has been a part of both Eastern and Western medical traditions
since 2000 BC Shireen et al. [23]. A. vera has potent antibacterial,
antifungal, and antiviral properties Ramasubramanian et al. [24].
The antimicrobial effects of A. vera have been attributed to the
plant’s natural anthraquinones which have demonstrated in vitro
inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Bacillus subtilis. Aloe

Anti-Bacterial Effect
Antibiotics are probably the most successful family of drugs
so far developed for improving animal and human health. Because
of increasing resistance to antibiotics of many bacteria, plant ex-
tracts are of new interest as antiseptics and antimicrobial agents
in medicine Yisehak et al. [2]. The Aloe extract was potent against
various species of bacteria including S. aureus, S. agalctia, E. choli,
Streptococcus pyogens, M. bacterium tuberculosis, Pseudomonas
aerogenosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, etc. Whole leaf components of
A. vera are proposed to have direct antibacterial properties include
anthraquinones and saponins Rubina et al. [26]. While polysaccha-
rides have been attributed within direct bacterial activity through

less, et al. [14].
Anti-Fungal Effect
The importance of skin affection in domestic animals draw the
attention of many workers to suggest various methods of their con-
trol such as application of suitable and rapid method for their di-
agnosis and treatment. Bovine dermatophytosis causes economic
loss due to hide damage and restrictions in showing and marketing
infected cattle Hany et al. [3]. Ringworm infection is caused by in-
vasion of cutanous keratinized epithelial cells and hair follicle by a
certain keratinophilic fungi causes dermatomphytosis Hany et al.
[3]. Trichphyton verrucosum, Trichphyton mentagrophytes and

ringworm might be due to increasing the ability of internal immu-
nity that strength the natural resistance by boosting T- lymphocyte
cells that aid the immune system Hany et al. [3].
Anti-Viral Effect
Amntiviral activity of A. vera may be due to indirect or direct
effects. Indirect effect is due to stimulation of the immune system
and direct effect is due to anthraquinones. The anthraquinone aloin

Wound Healing, and Anti-Ulcer Properties of Aloe Vera
Wound healing properties: The plant has been used to treat any
number of small cuts, abrasions, skin irritations, and mild burns.
It’s been used as a topical ointment and in dressings (https://www.

Aloe vera (Chithra, et al., 1998). Aloe gel not only increased collagen
content of the wound but also changed collagen composition (more
type III) and increased the degree of collagen cross linking. Due to
this, it accelerated wound contraction and increased the breaking
strength of resulting scar tissue Heggers et al. [33]. Aloe Vera ex-
tract inhibits acid secretion which may be due to the presence of
lectins in the plant Blanca et al. [34].

the tumor-promoting effects of phorbol myristic acetate has been

Laxative Effect of Aloe Vera
Anthraquinones present in latex are a potent laxative. It in-
creases intestinal water content, stimulates mucus secretion and
increases intestinal peristalsis Ishii et al. [38].
Anti-Septic Effect
A. vera contains 6 antiseptic agents: Lupeol, salicylic acid, urea
nitrogen, cinnamonic acid, phenols and sulfur. They all have inhibi-
tory action on fungi, bacteria and viruses (Amar et al. 2008).

Side Eects of Aloe Vera
Topical
It may cause redness, burning, stinging sensation and rarely
generalized dermatitis in sensitive individuals. Allergic reactions
are mostly due to anthraquinones, such as aloin and barbaloin. It

reaction Syed et al. [39].
Oral
Abdominal cramps, diarrhea, red urine, hepatitis, dependency
or worsening of constipation Bottenberg et al. [40].
Contraindication
Contraindicated in cases of known allergy to the plant. Oral aloe
is not recommended during pregnancy due to theoretical stimula-
tion of uterine contractions, and in breastfeeding mothers, it may
sometime causes gastrointestinal distress in the nursing infant Ul-
bricht et al. [41].
Interactions
Application of aloe to skin may increase the absorption of ster-
oid creams such as hydrocortisone. It reduces the effectiveness and
may increases the adverse effects of digoxin and digitoxin, due to its
potassium lowering effect Ulbricht et al. [42,43].
Conclusion and Recommendations
In recent years, traditional uses of natural compounds, espe-
cially of plant origin received much attention as they are well tested

human use. The nutrient make up of Aloe Vera is one of a kind and
has amazing natural healing properties. Its uses are multiple and
undoubtedly, the nature’s gift to humanity and it remains for us to
introduce it to ourselves and thank the nature for its never-ending
gift. Thus, though Aloe vera has wide spectrum of the properties
and uses, some of them could be myths and some of them could be
real magic. In future, controlled studies are required to prove the
effectiveness of Aloe vera under various conditions.
Based on above conclusion the following recommendations are
forwarded:
i. Further study guided by research on therapeutic and
medicinal uses of aloe vera are required in order to advance
knowledge and to reduce adverse effects.
ii. It should be better to use herbal medicine in modern ways
rather than using traditional methods.
