Background Information : The utility of regular use of Aloeviate®

It is apparent that the ingredients in Aloeviate TM are designed to reduce inflammation, reduce the transmission of pain from afferent nerves commonly seen in conditions such as vulvodynia, and produce a calming, soothing sensation to the skin. Furthermore, by addressing skin irritation in the lower genital tract, (which may trigger adverse impulses to the dorsal nerve root ganglion), and by providing ingredients shown to provide natural viral suppression, the nutritional supplement Aloeviate® appears to support the body's defense against Herpes Simplex outbreaks.

Why Aloeviate TM for Vulvar Pain Syndromes?

The trend in therapy has been to use strong pharmaceutical agents such as powerful topically applied steroids and oral central nervous system antidepressants or antiseizure medications. Although often successful in reducing pain, there are potential side effects from these therapies.

The goal of Aloeviate® use is to provide a natural alternative topical cosmetic nutraceutical product that can nutritionally soothe the skin and address the increased sensitivity of the skin, without the use of a topical pharmaceutical anesthetic agent. The integrity and overall skin structure appears to become more resilient and less fragile and sensitive with regular use, most likely due to the antioxidant and natural analgesic properties of some of the ingredients and the moisturizers added to the formula. The goal is to provide and effective stand alone therapy for mild or early cases, or a topical strategy which would allow a reduced dosage of pharmaceutical treatments for vulvodynia/ vulvar pain. In more severe cases which require physician and pharmacist consultation, Aloeviate® could be used as a compounding base into which other pharmaceutical agents could be mixed.
