What is Aloe Vera?

Aloe Vera (Asphodelaceae) is a tropical plant, natural for the North African region. Artificially cultivated in southern Europe four centuries ago. It is grown on farms in China, India, Australia and Paraguay. The plant is evergreen and reaches a meter and a half of height. Its leaves are long, pointed, resembling those of cactus. They are the effective part of the plant that has led to its international cultivation. From the juice of the leaves leave after drying and thickening, a vitreous mass called Aloe is obtained.
