History of Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera has a long history as a safe and effective medicine for skin care and beauty. The Ancient Egyptians and Greeks documented its use for a wide range of ailments, and its healing properties are mentioned several times in the Bible. It is also recorded that both Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus took the plant with them to far distant lands, enabling the fame and seeds of the plant to spread. Around the world, the plant has acquired a number of unusual descriptions such as 'Voodoo Juice', 'Fountain of Youth', 'First Aid Plant', and 'Wand of Heaven'. Modern use of Aloe Vera was first documented in the 1930s to heal radiation burns. It was also used after the Second World War to aid the victims of the fallout in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. It was reported that the victims who were treated with Aloe Vera showed signs of increased tissue growth and reduced pain, where other medicines had failed.
