    TLDR Aloe Vera gel helps heal skin, treats skin conditions, and can stimulate hair growth due to its various healing properties.
    Aloe Vera, a plant used in traditional medicine, contains two primary substances: latex and gel, with the latter being used in various cosmetic and medical applications due to its biologically active components like anthraquinones and polysaccharides. The gel is particularly noted for its wide range of pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antimicrobial, anti-tumor, anti-diabetic, antibacterial, and antiviral effects. It is commonly found in skin lotions, sunblocks, and cosmetics, and is known for aiding in wound healing, treating skin conditions, and stimulating new hair growth by improving blood circulation to the scalp.
