Haworthiopsis attenuata
South African succulent used in Zulu folk medicine for wound healing and skin conditions; similar to aloe.
Haworthia attenuata (Haworthiopsis attenuata) is a South African succulent traditionally used in Zulu folk medicine for wound healing and skin conditions. Modern research suggests its gel possesses anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties, attributed to tannins, polysaccharides, and flavonoids. Evidence is limited to preliminary studies and traditional use, supporting its topical application for minor wounds and skin irritation.
The polysaccharides in Haworthia attenuata gel form a protective film over wounds, promoting moisture retention and creating a barrier against pathogens. Tannins exhibit astringent properties that may reduce exudation and support tissue contraction, while flavonoids inhibit pro-inflammatory mediators such as COX-2 and NF-κB, thereby decreasing local inflammation. These combined actions facilitate wound healing and soothe irritated skin.
