Gastritis and Ulcers

Effects of Aloe Vera Arborescens on Gastritis and Ulcers

Aloe Vera Arborescens is highly relevant for people suffering from gastritis, gastric ulcers, or chronic digestive discomfort.

It offers a particularly beneficial and safe effect on the digestive system, especially when used correctly. Let’s take a closer look:


1. Healing effect on the gastric mucosa

The inner gel of the plant contains mucilages, polysaccharides (like acemannan) and digestive enzymes, which:

  • Form a protective layer over the irritated stomach lining

  • Accelerate cellular regeneration of the stomach wall

  • Promote healing of gastric and duodenal lesions

Ideal for chronic, erosive gastritis or ulcers with mild to moderate symptoms.


2. Local anti-inflammatory action

Helps reduce inflammation in the gastric and intestinal mucosa, relieving symptoms such as:

  • Burning sensation

  • Epigastric pain

  • Nausea or heaviness after meals

It acts without the harsh side effects of long-term synthetic antacids.


3. Antibacterial effect (including Helicobacter pylori)

Laboratory studies show that compounds in Aloe Arborescens can:

  • Inhibit the growth of H. pylori (the main cause of gastritis and ulcers)

  • Reduce the risk of relapse after conventional treatment

Note: Aloe is not a replacement for antibiotics in severe cases, but it can enhance medical treatment and help prevent reinfection.


4. Balances acidity and relieves reflux

Acts as a natural pH regulator, without artificially neutralizing stomach acid.

  • Helps relieve mild gastric reflux

  • Protects the esophagus and stomach lining from irritation


Important precautions

Situation Recommendation
Use of leaf skin (aloins) Use minimal amounts – can be irritating
Very acute gastritis Start with small doses and monitor reaction
Pregnancy or anticoagulant use Use only under medical supervision
Severe cases (e.g. bleeding ulcers) Do not replace proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) without guidance – Aloe should be complementary to clinical treatment
