Succulents contain a range of bioactive compounds, including acemannan, saponins, and aloin, which contribute to their medicinal properties. These properties include anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and wound healing effects, supported by scientific research and clinical studies. Succulents have potential health benefits in various areas, making them valuable plants for both medicinal and cosmetic applications.
