Crohn's Disease

Crohn’s Disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of autoimmune nature, affecting the entire gastrointestinal tract.
Aloe Vera Arborescens has been explored as a complementary natural support, showing some promising applications.

Effects of Aloe Vera Arborescens in Crohn’s Disease

While not a primary treatment, Aloe Vera Arborescens may help ease symptoms and reduce intestinal inflammation — when used with caution and under supervision.

1. Healing and Regenerating the Intestinal Lining

The inner gel is rich in mucilage, polysaccharides (especially acemannan) and nutrients that:

  • Soothe and protect the intestinal lining

  • Promote healing of ulcers and lesions in the gut

  • Improve gut barrier integrity (helpful for “leaky gut”)

May support recovery during remission phases.

2. Natural Anti-inflammatory Action

Aloe may help inhibit key inflammatory mediators like TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6 (involved in Crohn’s flare-ups), leading to:

  • Reduced swelling and abdominal pain

  • Milder inflammatory episodes

Useful as support between flares, or as a complement to conventional therapy.

3. Immunomodulatory Potential (Used with Caution)

Aloe Vera Arborescens doesn’t overstimulate the immune system, but rather modulates it.

  • Can contribute to a more balanced immune response

  • May help reduce mild autoimmune flare-ups

Important: Always consult a doctor, especially in unstable cases or if you’re taking immunosuppressants.

4. Digestive Support and Relief of Associated Symptoms

May help:

  • Relieve mild cramps and bloating

  • Support bowel regularity (in cases of mild constipation)

  • Improve nutrient absorption (which is often compromised in Crohn’s)
