The aloe vera plant is found throughout the world.
It is a known as a succulent plant.
This means it retains water much like a cactus.
This water is stored in the fleshy part of its leaves.
Because of this ability to store water, it is able to survive through long periods of drought and is best suited for hot dry climates.
During the winter it may become dormant and require little or no moisture.
It is thought to have originated in Northern Africa, but does not grow there naturally anymore.
Instead there are pockets of naturalised areas of growth found throughout the world, where the climate is dry and hot.
These include Egypt, Morocco, Sudan and the Canary Islands.
It is also cultivated in many places such as the USA, China, Australia, Mexico, Cuba and India.
Large scale agricultural production occurs in these countries, such as the USA, to provide the cosmetics industry with aloe vera plant gel.
This gel is used for care of the skin such as treat burns, abrasions, psoriasis and otherwise and revitalize the skin.
The aloe vera gel is found when you break open the green fleshy skin of the leaves.
The contents of the aloe vera plant also contains 75 or more biologically active ingredients that are beneficial to the human body and therefore widely used in alternative medicine.
These ingredients include amino acids, minerals, vitamins and enzymes.
Of the amino acid it contains, only one is missing in which the human body needs.
The plant contains 19 of these 20 amino acids that the body require.
Eight of these cannot be produced by the human body.
It contains seven of these amino acids.
These are:
Since the body cannot produce these minerals they must be replenished from an external source.
The aloe plant contains a number important minerals that the body requires.
Minerals found in the plant are:
This juice can be taken internally to provide the body with these active ingredients.
The plant can also be used to make pills which can be taken internally providing the same benefits.
It should be noted that the aloe vera juice, made using the green outer leave as a main ingredient, was sold in the USA as an over the counter laxative prior to 2002.
It was pulled of the self because there was not enough information regarding its safety.
The aloe vera plant has both external and internal uses.
It is used as a gel, juice and pill form.
It is still relatively unknown in the scientific community as far as its healing powers are concerned.
However it is widely accepted in the alternative medicine field as a remedy for many ailments.
If you choose to make use of its potential healing power please look into this from a reliable source.
