History has shown us that Aloe vera is one of the oldest mentioned plants on record due to its medicinal properties and health benefits. The first known written reports on the nourishing juice of Aloe reach as far back as 6,000 years ago in ancient Egypt. Aloe was regarded as a sacred plant the “blood” of which held the secrets to beauty, health and immortality, and Cleopatra used aloe in her daily skin treatments. Ancient Chinese used Aloe Vera to treat burns, wounds, and reduce fever. Legend reports that Alexander the Great, upon the advice of Aristotle, conquered the island of Socotra, off the coast of Africa, to secure supplies of Aloe Vera in order to treat wounded soldiers. In 1944, the Japanese who were exposed to the “A” bomb applied Aloe gel to their wounds and reported faster healing and less scaring.
