The story of Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera has been identified as a medicinal herb since ancient time. It is called the 'true medicine' in Latin, and also known as the 'spring of youth', the 'miracle plant' and so on.

The earliest written record about Aloe Vera was found in the year 1550 B.C.. The medicinal function of Aloe Vera recorded on a grass paper was found between the knees of an ancient Egyptian mummy. In the 4th century when Emperor Alexander the Great conquered the east, he discovered that Aloe Vera can help soldiers to get back their strength and heal their wounds. He then occupied Socrota Island to ensure that his soldiers could be well supplied with Aloe Vera. A legend said Egyptian queen Cleopatra used Aloe Vera to -protect her skin. As she was young and beautiful, Aloe Vera was made famous of its beautifying effect.

In the 1st century, an imperial doctor in Rome recorded the healing functions of Aloe Vera: cure venereal diseases, hemorrhoids, jaundice; sterilize stomach; heal wounds or even wash the eyes.

Aloe Vera was widely used as medicine throughout Europe, it was even found in the German medical record in 12th century. However, there is no record when Aloe Vera was being introduced to Japan. Aloe Vera was introduced to China through the Silk Road, a medical report in Sung Dynasty wrote, 'Tong poet Lou Yu Xi had been suffered from eczema, but was immediately cured when applied with gel found in Aloe Vera'. The 'Compendium of Mattering Medica' published in Ming Dynasty indicated: Aloe Vera crème was made in Persia, it was a maltose like resin in black color.

In the recent 200 years, Aloe Vera has given rise to much controversy. From the past 20 years, a number of studies about Aloe Vera have been reported due to the medical recognition of Aloe Vera and the understanding of its function, some even predicted that Aloe Vera would prosper in the future.
