Aloe Vera Gel for Bruises: Evidence and Application

Aloe vera gel contains anti-inflammatory (aloin, acemannan), circulatory-stimulating, and wound-healing (glucomannan) compounds. It may reduce bruise swelling, pain, and duration when applied topically several times daily.

How to Use

1. Clean area gently.
2. Apply thin layer of pure aloe gel.
3. Repeat 3–4×/day.

Cautions

• Not for open wounds (may irritate).
• Discontinue if contact dermatitis develops.
• Severe or expanding bruise → medical evaluation (possible hematoma, fracture).
