Abstract

Aloe is one of the few medicinal plants that has maintained its popularity for a long period of time. Aloe latex is used for its laxative effect and should be distinguished from aloe gel, used both in cosmetics and ointments for skin ailments. Aloe whole leaf is another preparation used internally as a drink in a wide range of human diseases including cancer, AIDS, ulcerative colitis and other disturbances. The concomitant use of honey may make the aloe whole leaf therapy more palatable and efficient. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
