What is Aloe Vera?

Aloe Vera (aloe barbadenis in Latin), also called desert lily or medicinal aloe, is native to the arid climates of northern Africa, Canary Island and Cape Verde, where it is still found to grow in the wild.

There are over 200 different species of aloe, but only aloe vera is considered true aloe, hence the name vera, for “truth”.

Aloe vera is a short-stemmed succulent plant that can reach heights that vary from 60cm to 100cm tall. It flourishes in warm and dry climates, giving you a beautiful yellow flower in the summer, growing right from the center of the plant.

It is in the leaves of the aloe vera that all the plant’s magic resides. They are thick, fleshy and grayish green in colour. One plant may have as many as 30 leaves, each with a serrated edge, bearing what look like small white teeth.

These pointy leaves contain a gel good for both external and internal use with amazing health benefits.

Often regarded as nature’s medicinal plant, aloe vera has a long history going as far back as the Ancient Pharaohs, who considered it a religious plant and recorded its use in the ancient Book of Remedies. Greeks and Romans also used it and there are even references to it in early Indian and Chinese cultures.
