Aloe Vera is thick, tapered with spiny leaves grow from a short stalk near ground level. It is not a cactus, but a member of the tree Lily family, know as Aloe Barbadensis.
Aloe Vera is one of the oldest known therapeutic herbs and is renowned worldwide as a healing plant. It originated in the Cape Verde islands off the West African Coast.
First mentioned in the Egyptian "Papyrus Ebers" in 1550 B.C. for its medical and embalming value, aloe vera was supposedly used to embalm the body of Christ.
Both the Greek historian Dioscorides and the Roman naturalist Pliny recommended aloe vera about 2,000 years ago as an effective remedy for constipation, burns, wounds, bruises, skin irritations, kidney problems and more.
It is referred to in many scriptures all over the world and down through the ages.
Hindus call it the "silent healer," Chinese the "harmony remedy" and even Christopher Columbus mentioned its importance.
Many researches on curative properties of Aloe Vera are well documented since ancient times. Up till today, Aloe Vera continues to benefit and amaze us in boundless ways!
