aloe vera the FACTS
What is Aloe Vera?
Aloe Vera, often called the Miracle Plant, the Natural Healer, the Burn Plant, goes by many names which have survived 4000 or so years during which this amazing medicinal herb had benefited mankind.
Although there are over 200 species of aloe, there are probably only four or five with medicinal properties. Of these, Aloe Barbadensis Miller is known as the most potent. It is the only one entitled to be known as aloe vera or the true aloe.
Aloe Vera is a succulent, looking rather like a cactus but it is infact a member of the lily family related to onions, garlic and asparagus. When mature the contents of its leaves, a mixture of inner gel and outer sap can be harvested, preserved and bottled to produce a product that is as near to the natural plant juice as we can get.
To benefit from Aloe Vera, the gel can be taken internally for its nutritional effect or it can be combined with other ingredients to produce topical creams and lotions to nourish and improve the quality of the skin.
For a product to work properly, Aloe needs to be the principal ingredient.
Look for a product with a substantial Aloe Vera content.
