Civilizations such as Sumeria and Ancient Egypt, its use was common, it is said that Cleopatra used it to smooth her skin, since she included Aloe Vera juice in her baths. Ho we will discover some of the applications and benefits of aloe vera.

Obviously, this recipe comes from an ancient approach, but it was not wrong, since as we will see, Aloe Vera has beneficial effects for the skin.
The arrival in Europe was thanks to the Arabs, who exported it to Spain. In fact, we owe its name to them, Aloe Vera comes from Arabic, etymologically we can divide it into "Alloeh" meaning bright bitter substance, and a suffix that was added in Latin, "Vera " true.
It was not until after the First World War, in the 30s, that Dr. Collins, with true scientific rigor, realized that Aloe Vera was very effective against burns, a trial that demonstrated improvement in patients with burns caused by the unfortunate and unforgivable bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
In 1959 the FDA approved the use of the first Aloe Vera cream as a non-prescription medicine for burns, as we see this was only the beginning, of the commercial exploitation of a plant that was already known to our ancestors.
