For thousands of years, people have utilized Aleo vera, a cactus-like plant in the Asphodelaceae (Liliaceae) family , for traditional medical treatments. Because of the bitter juice present in the leaves, Aloe vera gets its name from the Arabic word “Alloeh,” which means “shining bitter substance,” and the Latin word “vera” which means “True”. Aloes come in more than 300 species, the majority of which are indigenous to south Africa, Madagascar, and Arabia. There is a long history of using herbal therapy to treat a wide range of infectious disorders in many regions of the world. One of the key ingredients in traditional medicine is Aloe vera. Aloe vera is a botanical remedy that has been used for a very long time by many different cultures. The succulent plant grows in arid and subtropical regions is most well-known for two different preparations: the thick sap of the leaves, which turns yellow-brown and has potent laxative properties that warn against using it, and the clear, mucilaginous gel is widely used to treat minor burns, especially sunburns.
