Researchers at the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine investigated the antiviral activities of the bioactive components of Aloe vera. They reported their findings in an article published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that Aloe vera is an effective antiviral agent against H1N1 and H3N2 because it contains active compounds that can inhibit influenza virus-induced autophagy.
