Aloe Vera is a species of succulent plant that has been well known for centuries for its healing properties. Aloe vera probably grows in arid climates i.e, warm climates. It requires a lot of sunlight and doesn’t need more water.

2. Aloe vera is a succulent and mucilaginous plant that
can grow up to 40 inches in height. Without a stem,
its green leaves resemble blades or a sword coming
out from a central point. These thick and heavy leaves
contain the precious healing gel that provides the
medicinal uses of aloe vera. The leaves are notched
with small white points. Their orange flowers bloom
in the summertime.

3. Different parts of the plant are used for different effects on the
body and Aloe Vera has both internal and external applications.

4. Medicinal Uses:
Aloe Vera contains over 200 active components including vitamins, minerals,
amino acids, enzymes, polysaccharide, and fatty acids- no wonder it’s used
for such a wide range of remedies. The bulk of the Aloe Vera leaf is filled with
a clear gel-like substance, which is approximately 99% water. The medicinal
uses of aloe vera are amazing, as the benefits of aloe vera remedies are truly
significant.
Aloe vera is very versatile. It's your immediate
assistant for relieving burns from sun exposure,
chemical burns, or burns from a fire. It's even used
in the burn units of some hospitals! However,
beyond the emergencies and immediate medicinal
uses of aloe vera, it can be added to other
ingredients to make soap, facial toners, facial
scrubs and masks, after shave, mists, lip balm,
salve, tinctures, washes, creams and astringents.
One of my favorite ways to use aloe vera is to drink
its juice. It's incredibly cleansing and has a really
tasty punchy flavor!

6. Aloe Vera Intake Precautions :
This plant is incredibly medicinal, yet there are some cautions
against long-term use. Just because a little is beneficial, doesn’t
mean that a lot is more beneficial. This is an incredibly potent
herb and should be used with a level of respect for its potency.
Long-term use can lead to loss of electrolytes, especially
potassium. Avoid taking aloe internally during pregnancy,
menstruation, if you have hemorrhoids or degeneration of the
liver and gall bladder.
