Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Aloe macroclada, a species native to Madagascar, is traditionally used in Malagasy folk medicine for various ailments, including skin conditions such as blisters. Ethnobotanical surveys and reports from Madagascar indicate that local populations apply the fresh gel or juice of Aloe macroclada leaves directly to the skin to aid in healing wounds, burns, and blisters. This practice is based on the perceived soothing, cooling, and anti-inflammatory effects of the plant, similar to the traditional use of Aloe vera in other parts of the world. However, the evidence supporting the efficacy of Aloe macroclada specifically for treating blisters is limited to anecdotal and traditional accounts. While some phytochemical studies have identified compounds in Aloe macroclada with potential bioactivity, there are no peer-reviewed clinical trials or robust scientific studies that validate its effectiveness for blister treatment. Therefore, the use of Aloe macroclada for blisters is primarily justified by traditional knowledge, with minimal scientific validation at present.
