For more than five millennia, aloe has been considered a magical, even miraculous plant, capable of solving most human ills. Indeed, there are countless properties attributed to aloe, some still debated in the scientific community. Today, aloe is used as a dietary supplement, but also to relieve and treat irritations, burns, abrasions, redness, and to get relief from insect bites.
