Gasteria bicolor
South African succulent with tongue-shaped spotted leaves, used in Xhosa traditional medicine.
Gasteria bicolor is a South African succulent used in Xhosa traditional medicine for skin conditions and wound healing. Its primary modern applications include wound healing, anti-inflammatory effects, burn treatment, and skin soothing, attributed to active compounds such as anthraquinones, saponins, polysaccharides, and tannins. Evidence is limited (Level C) but supports its traditional use.
The anthraquinones (e.g., aloin, aloe-emodin) inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and reduce prostaglandin synthesis, contributing to anti-inflammatory effects. Saponins exhibit antimicrobial activity by disrupting microbial cell membranes, while polysaccharides promote fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis, aiding wound healing. Tannins provide astringent properties that help contract tissues and reduce exudate in burns and wounds.
