        abstract = {Aloe vera herbal paste is an innovative semi-solid herbal formulation developed by incorporating the mucilaginous gel of Aloe barbadensis Miller with selected medicinal plant powders, binders, humectants, and stabilizing agents. Aloe vera is recognized for its diverse pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, wound-healing, and soothing effects, primarily attributed to its rich content of polysaccharides, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive phytoconstituents. The formulation of aloe vera herbal paste aims to enhance the stability, efficacy, and patient acceptability of traditional herbal preparations while overcoming limitations associated with raw plant materials. The preparation of herbal paste involves appropriate processing techniques such as milling, homogenization, and controlled mixing to achieve a smooth texture, uniform dispersion, and optimum consistency. Critical formulation parameters, including particle size distribution, moisture content, viscosity, spreadability, extrudability, and storage stability, play a significant role in determining product quality and therapeutic performance. Advances in pharmaceutical technology have enabled the development of aloe vera-based pastes with improved physicochemical characteristics, prolonged shelf life, and controlled release of active constituents.
Aloe vera herbal paste has demonstrated considerable potential in oral healthcare, periodontal therapy, wound management, dermatological applications, and cosmetic preparations due to its ability to promote tissue regeneration, reduce microbial growth, and provide a protective barrier at the site of application. This review summarizes the composition, formulation approaches, manufacturing processes, quality evaluation parameters, and therapeutic applications of aloe vera herbal paste. The available evidence highlights its effectiveness as a natural, safe, and multifunctional herbal formulation, supporting its growing utilization in pharmaceutical, dental, and cosmetic industries. Further research and standardization are essential to optimize formulation performance and expand its clinical applications.},
