Did you know that Aloe Vera has so much medicinal values.

Benefits of Aloe Vera
I first made contact with Alo vera when I was 14 years old in Benin city. My father planted it in little paint containers, behind our house. I got attracted to it, because each time I squeeze it a little whitish slimming fluid drips out. Today Alo vera is a house hold name. It is sometimes referred to as the “First Aid” plant because of the soothing gel inside the thick, succulent leaves.

Aloe vera has incredible, natural, skin care properties. Aloe vera is commonly used on sunburns, cuts, or even consumed. The 2011 2nd edition of Herbal Medicine: Biomolecular and Clinical Aspects cites the extraordinarily long use of aloe vera for its therapeutic benefits, both internal and external.  Its use extends as far back as biblical times and was mentioned in the New Testament as an herb for embalming. 

 Aloe Vera’s Active Ingredients
Aloe vera could be considered a superfood, the leaf is filled with a gel containing at least 75 nutrients, 20 minerals, 12 vitamins, 18 amino acids, and 200 active enzymes. These compounds have tremendous benefit and potential in external and internal applications.
