Concurring with Chhavi, Dr Navya Handa, dermatologist, cosmetologist and laser surgeon, Primus Super Speciality Hospital said that aloe vera offers numerous benefits for the skin and overall health. “Its gel contains vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that soothe and moisturize the skin, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. It can aid in treating sunburn, acne, and skin irritations,” she said.

She added that aloe vera supports hair health, helps in digestion, and may boost the immune system. “Its antimicrobial properties can assist in wound healing. Moreover, aloe vera‘s anti-inflammatory effects may provide relief for certain skin conditions. Always do a patch test and consult a professional before using it to ensure suitability and effectiveness.”

Dr Rinky Kapoor, consultant dermatologist, cosmetic dermatologist and dermato-surgeon, The Esthetic Clinics also mentioned the plethora of key benefits of aloe vera:

*Skin soothing and healing: Aloe vera is renowned for its ability to soothe and heal the skin. The gel has anti-inflammatory properties that can calm irritated or sunburned skin, reducing redness and discomfort. It also promotes wound healing and helps to minimise scarring.

*Moisturisation: Aloe vera gel is an excellent natural moisturiser that hydrates the skin without leaving a greasy residue. It is suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin, as it does not clog pores.

*Acne treatment: The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of aloe vera make it effective in treating acne. It can help reduce the redness and swelling associated with pimples and may aid in preventing further breakouts.

*Anti-ageing: Aloe vera contains antioxidants that combat free radicals, which contribute to premature ageing. Regular application of aloe vera gel may help improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, and keep the skin looking youthful.

*Hair health: Aloe vera can be used as a hair conditioner to promote healthy hair growth and improve the overall condition of the scalp. It can help reduce dandruff and alleviate scalp irritation.

*Burn relief: Aloe vera’s cooling and soothing properties make it an effective remedy for minor burns, including sunburns. Applying aloe vera gel to the affected area can provide relief and aid in the healing process.

*Digestive support: Aloe vera juice, when ingested in moderation, may help soothe digestive issues like indigestion and heartburn. It may also have a mild laxative effect and promote regular bowel movements.

*Immune system support: Aloe vera contains vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that can support the immune system, promoting overall health and well-being.

Functional nutritionist Mugdha Pradhan, CEO and founder, iThrive said that it is recommended to use fresh gel extracted from the plant over packaged aloe vera gel since the latter often contains harmful preservatives. “The gel is bitter to taste but is usually consumed by diluting it in water to make what is commonly known as aloe vera juice,” she said.
