Aloe Vera Leaf 200:1

History:

For more than 3,500 years, healers and physicians have sung the praises of this fragrant Desert Lily. Pictures of this juicy, succulent plant have been found on the walls of the temples of Egypt, where it was believed to have been used in the embalming process. Alexander the Great was reputed to have conquered the island of Socotra in the fourth century B.C., in order to acquire the beautiful violet dye produced by the species of Aloe (socotrine) grown there. The Greek physician, Dioscorides, wrote of its soothing benefits for wounds and burns, and the Romans also used the plant for wounds. Aloe originated in southern Africa, and many varieties of this perennial are now cultivated throughout Africa, the Mediterranean and Caribbean regions and in many countries of South and Central America and Asia. Although there are nearly five hundred varieties of this perennial plant, only Aloe vera and Aloe barbadensis are considered to possess "true" therapeutic qualities. Some of Aloe Vera's constituents include beta-carotene, beta-sitosterol, lignins, saponins, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, amino acids, antioxidant vitamins A, C, E and vitamins B1, B2 and B3.

Recommended Dosage:
