The aloe is a plant originally from Africa. It is a succulent that grows to a 
height of 12 to 16 inches spreading by offsets and root sprouts. The leaves are 
thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with a serrated margin. The flowers are 
produced on a spike up to 90 cm tall.
Aloe also holds the prestigious title of being the 6th most-used plant - its 
properties are found in numerous medical and health products around the 
world.
A versatile plant, you can find aloe in beverages, cosmetics, and herbal 
products. One of the reasons that Aloe is so effective is its bioactive 
components called chromones. It is also one of the only plants in the world that 
naturally contains Vitamin B12.
Because of its amazing properties, aloe is very beneficial for cuts, wounds, 
and burns. It can also prevent scaring, fade marks, and help heal acne. Used 
topically and internally, aloe is a powerful healing ointment. 
Aloe also nourishes your skin. In fact, aloe is the answer for almost all 
skin problems. Skin care specialists have long recognized, and used, aloe in 
skin care products - it is beneficial for all skin types, including sensitive 
skin. As a moisturizer, aloe has both conditioning and healing properties. 
In addition:
1. Aloe reduces inflammation and pain, and accelerates healing
2. It has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties
3. Aloe vera gel acts as an anesthetic and often relieves joint and muscle 
pain.
And, if that wasn't enough... for an easier nights' sleep try putting an aloe 
plant in your bedroom! It releases oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide at 
night.
If you are interested in growing your own aloe plants, pfaf.org has the 
following recommendations:
"Aloe requires a well-drained soil and a very sunny position. Plants are 
tolerant of poor soils. If trying to grow this plant outdoors then it will need 
the sunniest and warmest area in the garden plus some protection from winter 
cold (a glass frame perhaps). This species is not very cold-hardy outdoors in 
Britain, it is best grown in a pot placed outdoors in the summer and put in a 
greenhouse for the winter. It grows very well in a sunny windowsill."
There are plenty of uses for the Aloe Vera plant, and many of its uses may 
surprise you. The bottom line is aloe is one of the best natural cures 
available.
