Comprehensive study of local aloe vera and its effects on acne/pimple was performed. The work mainly describes the chemical investigation of aloe vera by traditional methods to check its efficacy in the treatment of acne. Local aloe specie was gown and solutions of different concentration were made. Samples of acne were collected from different acn...

Physical properties and proximate analysis of peeled and unpeeled Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis M.)
Background: As the popularity of Aloe vera extracts continues to rise, a desire to fully understand the individual polymer components of the leaf mesophyll, their relation to one another, and the effects they have on the human body are increasing. Polysaccharides present in the leaf mesophyll have been identified as the components responsible for t...
p>Objectives: The aim of this research was to optimize the parameters for the vacuum impregnation of aloe vera into dried yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius Poepp. & Endl.) flakes.
Methodology: A surface response methodology was use to evaluate the product optimization. Matrix engineering, using a vacuum impregnation technique, was employed to incorp...
Aloe vera gel is a globally popular natural product used for the treatment of skin conditions. Its useful properties are attributed to the presence of bioactive polysaccharides. Nearly 25% of the 600 species in the genus Aloe are used locally in traditional medicine, indicating that the bioactive components in Aloe vera may be common across the gen...

... Use of aloe vera is beneficial in healing skin lesions, pus-filled lesions and reduction in acne spots. 22 In one of the studies, which involved a group of 98 patients, vitamin E stopped the bacterial-induced leaking of serum lipids through follicles and sebaceous glands, reducing inflammation and ultimately acne formation. 23 In patients with acne, glycolic acid treatment can lead to significant reductions in the number of skin lesions including acne, acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation because of its anti-inflammatory, keratolytic, and antioxidant ...
Background: Face cleansers are recommended as adjuncts to acne therapy to counteract the acne related manifestation like acne spots and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). This complementary study was designed to assess the clinical impact and tolerability of glycolic acid, aloe vera and vitamin-E based face cleanser for daily use in acne patients prescribed with clindamycin, tretinoin, adapalene and benzoyl peroxide for management of acne in real-world scenario. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review at 193 centres, focusing on individuals having acne with oily and mix skin types who used face cleanser twice a day. Total 619 cases (D age: 28.94±7.92 years) of acne were further analysed over a 4-week study period to study improvement in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, acne spot reduction and enhance skin radiance and glow using subjective assessment questionnaires. Results: The face cleanser, when used regularly with standard of care, significantly reduced acne (43.58%), acne spots (44.85%), and PIH (46.06%) with statistical significance (p<0.01). Patients with oily and mix skin type, 337 (54.44%) and 264 (42.65%) rated improvement on acne spots, PIH, radiance, and glow to be good to excellent, respectively. No patients experienced serious adverse events (AEs) or cleanser-related adverse event. Conclusions: The facial cleanser demonstrated effectiveness and tolerance in treating acne patients who were prescribed with anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory agents. In 4-week long treatment period, the facial cleanser enhanced skin radiance and also demonstrated its worth as a beneficial inclusion in everyday skincare regimens.
... Fruit rot is a significant factor impacting the postharvest quality of fresh food after it has been harvested. A number of previous research have shown that the application of aloe vera gel as an edible coating has beneficial effects on the prevention of fruit deterioration and microbiological spoiling [130,131]. Aloe vera gel has an inhibiting impact on the growth of mycelium (Penicillium digitatum and Aspergillus niger) [132]. The rate of mycelium development increased with the concentration of gel used. ...
Dental caries is a biofilm-mediated, sugar-driven, multifactorial, dynamic disease that results in the phasic demineralization and remineralization of dental hard tissues. Despite scientific advances in cariology, dental caries remains a severe global concern. The aim of this study was to determine the optimization of microbial and molecular techniques for the detection of cariogenic pathogens in dental caries patients, the prevalence of cariogenic bacteria on the basis of socioeconomic, climatological, and hygienic factors, and in vitro evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of selected synthetic antibiotics and herbal extracts. In this study, oral samples were collected from 900 patients for bacterial strain screening on a biochemical and molecular basis. Plant extracts, such as ginger, garlic, neem, tulsi, amla, and aloe vera, were used to check the antimicrobial activity against the isolated strains. Synthetic antimicrobial agents, such as penicillin, amoxicillin, erythromycin, clindamycin, metronidazole, doxycycline, ceftazidime, levofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin, were also used to access the antimicrobial activity. Among 900 patients, 63% were males and 37% were females, patients aged between 36 and 58 (45.7%) years were prone to disease, and the most common symptom was toothache (61%). For oral diseases, 21% used herbs, 36% used antibiotics, and 48% were self-medicated, owing to sweets consumption (60.66%) and fizzy drinks and fast food (51.56%). Staphylococcus mutans (29.11%) and Streptococcus sobrinus (28.11%) were found as the most abundant strains. Seven bacterial strains were successfully screened and predicted to be closely related to genera S. sobrinus, S. mutans, Actinomyces naeslundii, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Eubacterium nodatum, Propionibacterium acidifaciens, and Treponema Pallidum. Among plant extracts, the maximum zone of inhibition was recorded by ginger (22.36 mm) and amla (20.01 mm), while among synthetic antibiotics, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin were most effective against all microbes. This study concluded that phyto extracts of ginger and amla were considered suitable alternatives to synthetic antibiotics to treat dental diseases.
