Aloe Vera has been used for thousands of years as a medicinal healing plant. It has been claimed by millions to aid in the healing of acne, arthritis, asthma, cuts, diabetes, digestive problems and burns, to name just a few.
Historical documents from the Bible to the papyrus of Egypt have given us evidence of the usage of Aloe Vera. Jesus Christ was anointed in Aloe Vera (John 19:39) and Cleopatra's beauty secret is said to come from the daily use of Aloe Vera.
Once planted, Aloe Vera takes three years to mature, when it can then produce 3 harvests per year.
The Aloe Vera plant, from the lily family, is a succulent which thrives in warm humid regions of the world.
There are over 150 varieties of Aloe Vera in existence today, but only three species are used for medicinal purpose: Aloe barbadensis, Aloe socatrine, and Aloe ferrox. The barbadensis species is the plant from which most commercial juices, ointments and cosmetics are made.
Aloe Vera has been recognized as a source of nutrition for many years. Aloe Vera used on cuts and burns aids in retarding the bleeding and creates a barrier against bacteria.

Many producers of Aloe Vera juice squeeze the whole leaf and the rind. This produces a juice that still contains Aloin, a bitter toxin that must be removed by charcoal filtering, chemical treatment, heat or distillation. When Aloe Vera is heated or fractionally distilled, many of its valuable and more delicate nutrients are destroyed.
