Health is a unity and harmony within the mind, body and spirit which is unique to each person, and is as defined by that person. The level of wellness or health is, in part, determined by the ability to deal with and defend against stress. Health is determined by physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual, and developmental stage variables.

There is preliminary evidence from a human trial that oral aloe vera does not prevent or improve mucositis (mouth sores) associated with radiation therapy.
