Abstract

Aloe vera is well known for the cost effect positive actions it has on the skin, with a very minimal risk profile. The anti-inflammatory, wound healing & anti-ageing effects of aloe vera on the skin have been extensively studied & discussed. Similar effects may be demonstrated & observed on burn wounds. We tested the aloe vera gel on a patient with scald burns & observed the progression of the wound. Unsurprisingly, we observed that wound healing was considerably enhanced by the aloe vera gel application
