Abstrakt:	Aloe vera is a cactus plant that thrives in warm areas. Since ancient times, it has been used to treat acute wounds. However, the efficacy of aloe vera for burns and split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor sites is inconclusive. In this study, we have applied pure aloe vera gel extract as an adjunct to dressing second-degree (superficial) burn wounds and assessed the time for complete epithelialization. The time taken for complete epithelialization of the wound was 11 days when compared to the normal (evidence-based) time of 14 days. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
