Pendahuluan: Kolesterol merupakan susbtansi yang dibutuhkan tubuh; namun dalam jumlah berlebihan dalam darah, kolesterol menjadi resiko gangguan jantung dan penyakit pembuluh darah. Kandungan fitokimia pada aloe vera atau di Indonesia dikenal sebagai lidah buaya berpotensi untuk menurunkan kadar kolesterol darah. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengivestigasi pengaruh gel aloe vera pada kadar total kolesterol darah klien dengan hypercholesterolemia. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan quasi experimental dengan pre-test dan post-test design. Sebanyak 30 responden dipilih dengan dengan purposive sampling yang kemudian dibagi dalam dua kelompok intervensi, 15 responden pada setiap kelompok. Kelompok I diberi 100 g gel aloe vera setiap pagi sedangkan kelompok II diberi 100 g gel aloe vera di pagi hari dan 100 g gel aloe vera disore hari, intervensi ini dilakukan selama 7 hari. Kadar total kolesterol darah diperiksa sebelum dan sesudah 7 hari intervensi. Hasil: Rata-rata kadar total kolesterol darah sebelum terapi pada kelompok I adalah 224. 53 mg/dL menjadi 196.67 mg/dL setelah terapi. Pada kelompok II, mengalami penurunan dari 223.73 mg/dL sebelum terapi menjadi 201.27 mg/dL setelah terapi. Hasil uji paired t-test menunjukkan penurunan signifikan pada kedua kelompok dengan p=<.05. Diskusi: Penurunan kadar kolesterol darah setelah terapi aloe vera dikarenakan oleh komposisi fitokimia yang berperan sebagai antioksidan, menghambat stress oksidasi dan menghambat absorpsi kolesterol dari saluran cerna.
