Aloe spicata
Aloe du sud de l'Afrique utilisé par le peuple zoulou à des fins médicinales pour les troubles digestifs et cutanés.
Aloe spicata is a southern African aloe traditionally used by the Zulu for digestive and skin conditions. Its key active compounds include anthraquinones (e.g., aloin), flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to laxative, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Modern applications focus on topical wound care and occasional oral use for mild constipation, though evidence is limited to pilot studies.
Aloin and other anthraquinones stimulate colonic peristalsis by irritating the intestinal mucosa and increasing water secretion via inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase. Topically, flavonoids and tannins reduce inflammation through COX/LOX inhibition and provide astringent effects, while polysaccharides promote fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition. The latex fraction also activates prostaglandin synthesis, contributing to laxative action.
