The earliest use of the aloe vera plant can be traced back to Egypt, 6,000 years ago. The plant, which was presented as a burial gift to deceased pharaohs, was considered the “plant of immortality,” and was portrayed on ancient stone carvings. The Egyptians and ancient Greeks used the inner gel of the aloe vera plant topically for its soothing, emollient properties, and rumor has it that Cleopatra used aloe vera gel to keep her skin looking youthful and vibrant. Today, aloe vera gel is one of the most popular herbs in America, and remains a common topical aid.
