Effects of Aloe Vera Arborescens on Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), especially in women, are a common and uncomfortable issue. Aloe Vera Arborescens can be a valuable natural support in strengthening immunity, regenerating the urinary mucosa, and preventing new infections.
1. Regeneration of the urinary mucosa (urothelium)
Aloe promotes healing and protection of the bladder and urethral walls, which are often irritated or weakened after multiple infections.
The gel’s mucilages and polysaccharides create a protective layer that hinders bacterial adhesion, especially of E. coli.
2. Immunomodulatory action
Aloe stimulates the immune system in a balanced way, without triggering excessive inflammation:
Increases the production of lymphocytes and macrophages
Helps the body detect and respond early to urinary pathogens
3. Anti-inflammatory effect
Helps reduce pelvic discomfort, pain, and burning during infections
May minimize persistent inflammation in the bladder or urethra, common after repeated antibiotic treatments
4. Mild antimicrobial action
Although it does not replace antibiotics, Aloe Vera Arborescens:
Contains compounds with mild bacteriostatic and antifungal activity
May inhibit the proliferation of E. coli, Candida albicans, among others
