The First report of Aloe Vera go as far back as 6,000 years ago in Egypt. Cleopatra used the juice as part of her daily skin and beauty routine. It was the pursuit of “physical beauty” Aloe was known as the “Plant of Eternity” for the outside and inside of our bodies Its anti bacterial, anti fungal, anti inflammatory, has a cooling soothing effect on our skin and also is used to detox! This was Documented in “Papyrus Eber”1,550 BC a 110 page scroll of Egyptian Herbal Medical knowledge.

In Chinese culture it is a part of everyday life, called ” Method of Harmony” The Japanese culture also value this plant as the ” Royal Plant” As well as many other cultures, this plant was and still is one of the best Medicinal Plants on our planet!
