Widely touted as a sunburn treatment, aloe vera is a crowd-favourite for many reasons. This stemless succulent with thick, greenish leaves not only makes a great house plant, it can be a remarkable addition to your healthy lifestyle too.
The History of The Use of Aloe Vera
This succulent plant species was traditionally used for medicinal purposes since the ancient times from the Egyptians to Chinese, Mexicans, and North Americans. It was a part of the Egyptian queens’ beauty regimens and famous historical people such as Alexander the Great and Christopher Columbus took advantage of the aloe vera’s healing properties to heal wounds. This plant used to be endemic to the lands of North Africa, Southern Europe, and the Canary Islands. But presently, aloe vera is widely found across the tropical countries in the world.
What is Aloe Vera Famous For?
More than just being a beautiful succulent plant to look at, people centuries ago realized that aloe vera gel and juice possess healing properties, earning it the title “plant of immortality.” Moreover, during succeeding years, humans have discovered more than the plant’s healing properties. Also dubbed as the “burn plant,” “lily of the desert,” and “elephant’s gall,” aloe vera can also help treat wounds, prevent hair loss, and alleviate digestive issues.
Aside from nourishing the body from the inside, aloe vera can be used topically too. If you take a glance in the grocery shop, you would commonly find aloe vera extracts among the many ingredients of skincare products such as moisturisers and personal-care items such as soaps, shaving creams, and body lotion.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common digestive issue that often results in heartburn. Studies have shown that aloe vera can reduce the severity of heartburn and other symptoms associated with GERD.
Helps lower blood sugar
According to a scientific study in Phytomedicine: International Journal of Phytotherapy and Phytomedicine, taking two tablespoons of aloe vera juice daily can help decrease blood sugar levels.
Moisturises skin and hair
Aloe vera contains nutrients that help boost skin cell reproduction, relieve itchiness, promote hair growth, reduce inflammation, and keep skin moisturised. Simply apply the aloe vera gel across the desired area to keep your skin and hair soft and moisturised.
These are only some of the numerous benefits of aloe vera. While this plant offers so many health and beauty benefits, it is essential to note that the gel from the aloe vera leaves is only meant to be used topically. It should not be ingested by people and animals, as this can cause unwanted symptoms, such as indigestion, nausea, and may even cause toxicity when consumed in large quantities.
