No.: It is not. I could not in my wildest dreams think of how a benefit could be obtained. However my medline search revealed no studies.

No: It does not treat m? It can help the itching that can occur with ms, but not affect the disease itself. I can tell you that bad itching can be one of my symptoms at times.

No real benefit: Aloe vera has no role whatsoever in ms therapy, but might be used for dermatological distress, which is a different issue, and no contra-indication to use in association with ms drugs.
