The use of Aloe Vera can be traced all the way back to the ancient Egyptians.
The glamorous Cleopatra regarded Aloe Vera as her beauty secret. Aloe
was held in such reverence in Egypt that it was considered to be the "Plant
of Immortality." Drawings of the Aloe plant have even been found inscribed
in the tombs of pharaohs.
There are several variations of the Aloe plant, but only one variety has
a legendary medicinal reputation dating back thousands of years: the Aloe
Vera. Vera, that means true in Latin, was added to the appellation of
this particular specimen in order to distinguish its primacy among the
Aloe plants.
One of nature's time-tested healing substances, Aloe Vera helps the body
cleanse itself and provides minerals, vitamins, enzymes, glycoproteins,
essential oils, and amino acids to support the body's defense, gastrointestinal,
and urinary systems.(1)

Research Brief
The Aloe Vera plant has a long history of use for its healing properties.
The plants large bladelike leaves are the source of the Aloe gel. The
inner chamber of the Aloe Vera leaf is made up of the clear pulp, which
resembles slightly melted lemon Jell-O. The pulp is believed to contain
the wound-healing agents. The Russians call these "biogenic stimulators".
They now have developed a process by where they can use the leaf of the
plant, which is also the strongest part of the plant, for nutrients. Aloe
has a natural antidotal effect, neutralizing body toxins thus, reducing
joint pain caused by tissue toxicity. Aloe Vera has been used widely in
Holistic medicine in the amelioration of immune system dysfunction. The
effect is to stabilize the life force; thereby, contributing to balancing
the blood. It is believed to boost the immune system by balancing the
pH of the blood and also increases digestion and absorption. As early
as 1935, it was recommended to use Aloe Vera juice in treating certain
types of burns because of its well-known properties in soothing sun-damaged
skin.
Aloe Vera has properties for promoting the removal of dead skin and stimulating
the normal growth of living cells. During the healing process, it can
soothe the skin and may promote healing. Aloe Vera is excellent for absorbing
toxins and promoting growth of friendly "good" colon bacteria, which is
required for good health and is thus often used in colon cleansing products.
