What is
Aloe Vera?
Often called the
‘Miracle Plant’ or the ‘Natural Healer’, Aloe Vera is a plant
of many surprises. It flourishes in warm and dry climates; many
people mistake it for a cactus, but, in fact, it is a member of the
Lily family.
The Aloe family of plants includes over 200
varieties - including a few that are poisonous to humans! Aloe
Barbadensis Miller (Aloe Vera) has been of most use to humankind.
A succulent plant with thick fleshy leaves that conceal
an inner gel, it has been used for centuries to maintain health and
enhance beauty. Flourishing in warm, dry climates, ancient records show
that the benefits of Aloe Vera have been known for centuries. Its
therapeutic advantages and healing properties have survived more than
5,000 years.
Today the reputation
of this remarkable plant continues to grow. It is used by millions of
people around the world for both external applications and internal
use, many of which are documented in Magazines & Newspapers.
