What is aloe vera?  Aloe vera is a succulent plant species that is believed to have originated in Northern Africa, the Canary islands and Cape Verde.  Aloe vera is often referred to as the medicinal aloe and has become popular for uses in herbal medicine.  Well suited for growth in arid climates, it is widely used in such locations as Africa and India.  It’s popularity in herbal medicines has long ago spread to China, Japan, Russia, South Africa and the United States.

The presence of certain compounds in aloe vera have given it a reputation for being highly useful when dealing with burn or wound healing, or elevated blood lipids and diabetes.  Consequently, aloe vera juice and gels are avidly used for topical as well as internal bodily issues.
