Aloe Vera is a flowering succulent plant of the Asphodelaceae Family. It is an evergreen perennial that occurs naturally in North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Aloe Vera can be grown in arid, tropical and semi-tropical climates. It has medicinal and agricultural uses and grows successfully indoors as a potted plant. Aloe Vera is used also for decorative purposes. Aloe Vera is regarded as "a wonder plant" due to the fact it moisturises skin, relieves irritation and even acts as natural lube. In ancient times, it is known as a "plant of immortality". Tons of soaps, capsules, sprays and creams contain either the gel or the pulp of the plant because Aloe Vera is made of triangular leaves that contain three layers, with the innermost layer containing 99% water and an abundance of beneficial nutrients such as antioxidants, Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
