Aloe Vera

The origins of the Aloe Vera plant are not exactly known - some sources relate that its beginnings were in Africa, some in Arabia from where it spread into the rest of the expanding world.

The Aloe Vera plant normally grows to no more than one meter in height, with its broad succulant leaves up to 20cm thick.

 
Benefits:
The healing properties of the Aloe Vera plant have been known for milenia - dating back at least to a 1552 BC Greek medical manuscript. Mainstream modern interest began in 1934 with Aloe Vera being used to treat major x-ray burns, where other treatments had failed (Corbeil, 2000).
