Aloe Vera – a miracle from nature

For thousands of years Aloe Vera has been considered a miracle plant. In ancient Egypt it was called "blood of the Gods" and "immortal plant". The juice from this plant was well known for its effects on the beauty of the skin, health and long life. It was used by the queens Nefertiti and Cleopatra. It was also used for treatments by Hippocrates. Alexander the Great used it to treat his injured warriors. Christopher Columbus would not be without this plant on his voyages and called it "a doctor in a flower-pot". Mahatma Ghandi used it as food when he was fasting and it helped him to purify his body.

In the last 10 years medical research has confirmed many statements and experience. Aloe Vera has antioxidant properties due to its composition (it purifies the body).
