A General Overview of the uses of Aloe Vera Juice and skin care in Human History You have probably used aloe vera for a sunburn. Aloe Vera juice and skin care has been used for countless centuries by many civilizations, and a score of historic figures you may recognize such as Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, King Solomon and others. Alexander the Great conquered an island (Socotra) lush with aloe plants for the use of aloe vera juice for his armies to treat intestinal worms and wounds inflicted in battle. Cleopatra used aloe vera to keep her skin smooth and supple. King Solomon is believed to have cultivated aloe plants. Texts referencing the use of aloe vera plants go back 3,500 years. Indeed, in 1852 an Egyptian papyrus mentioning the use of aloe vera was discovered. The papyrus was dated to 1550 B.C. / BCE. Native American healers used aloe vera for medicinal purposes, as have Japanese, Chinese, Romans and ancient Greek physicians. Often referred to as the "First Aid Plant," aloe vera, and juices made from the plant, continues to be studied in the United States, Great Britain and other countries by renowned researchers. Physicians have long considered aloe vera to be a natural emollient and antiseptic. The anti-inflammation properties of aloe on the skin and aloe vera juice for internal use are well-documented. No doubt you have already used aloe vera to treat minor skin burns, cuts, and rashes. Only in the last few decades, thanks to the research and enormous efforts of the leading Aloe Vera company (Forever Living Products, International) in the world, have the benefits of aloe vera juice been rediscovered.
