	Aloe vera (In territories with significant traditional TRAMIL use) Barbados : aloe Marie-Galante Island : lalwé Puerto Rico : sábila Tobago : aloe Venezuela : sábila Significant uses found by the TRAMIL surveys “crystal”, in cataplasm¹ note: "crystal" is the term used in Puerto Rico to refer to the transparent, gelatinous gel found in the internal part of the leaf.	Recommandations Preparation and posology References	According to published and other information: Use for asthma, colds, baldness, cuts, bounds and skin rashes is classified as REC, based on the significant traditional use documented inthe TRAMIL surveys, toxicity studies, scientific validation, and published scientific information. Due to the health risks related to asthma, an initial medical evaluation is recommended. The use of this plant remedy should be considered complementary to medical treatment. There is no available information about its use for asthmatic crisis. For topical application, strict hygiene measures should be observed in order to avoid contamination or additional infection. Not for oral administration to pregnant or lactating women or to children under 5 years of age. The use of this resource should be avoided in cases of diabetes mellitus. The gel can cause reactions of hypersensitivity. It should not be used if it has turned a reddish color.		When cutting out the gelatinous part of the leaf, avoid contact with the yellow juice. This juice can cause reactions of skin hypersensitivity or, if swallowed, it can have laxative effects. Use for asthma or colds: Peal the leaf and blend 15-30 grams (1-2 spoonfuls) of the “crystal” (gel, pulp, mesophyll) with 250 mL (1 cup) of water. Drink 1 cup 3 times a day. Prepare a decoction or infusion with 15-30 grams of gel in 250 mL (1 cup) of water. For decoction, boil for at least 10 minutes in covered pot. For infusion, add boiling water to 15-30 grams (1-2 spoonfuls) of gel, cover, and let cool. Drink 1 cup 3 times a day. For baldness, cuts, bounds and skin rashes: Wash and peal the leaf, cut 15-30 grams (1-2 spoonfuls) of gel and apply to affected area of skin or scalp, twice a day.	1 BENEDETTI MD, 1994 Encuesta TRAMIL.

Use for dry skin conditions, itching, lice (pediculosis) and burns is classified as REC, based on the significant traditional use (OMS/WHO)⁴ documented in the TRAMIL surveys. For topical application, strict hygienic measures should be observed in order to avoid contamination or additional infection. Should there be a notable worsening of the patient’s condition, or should furuncles last more than 5 days, seek medical attention. Do not take orally during pregnancy due to risk of abortion. Not for use during lactation or by children under 3 years old.		For skin conditions: Wash the aerial parts of the plant thoroughly and crush them. Apply 30 grams (a handful) of vegetal material on the affected area of skin 3 times a day. For common cold: There is no available information establishing a means of preparation and dosage other than that referred to by traditional use.	1 CHARLES C, 1988 TRAMIL survey.
