This amazing medicinal herb has benefited mankind for over 400 years and although there are over 200 species of aloe, there are probably only three or four with medicinal properties. Of these, Aloe Vera Barbadensis (Miller) is the most potent and this is the plant used by the Forever Living Products (the world's largest grower and distibutor of Aloe Vera products). We find record of its uses in both the medicinal field and in cosmetics, by the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Italians, Algerians, Moroccans, Indians, Chinese and many others. George Ebers, in 1862, first discovered its antiquity in an Ancient Egyptian papyrus, written around 3500 BC. It was, in fact, a collection of herbal remedies and the original copy is safeguarded in Leipzig University. |
