Abstract
Aloe vera has a storied history of use. Mesopotamian clay tablets dated 1750 BC indicate that Aloe vera was being used for medicinal purposes. Egyptian records from 550 BC also mentioned aloe for infections of the skin. The ancient Greeks were also aware of aloe’s medicinal effects as both Pliny (23-79 AD) and Dioscorides (1st century AD) wrote of aloe’s ability to treat wounds and heal infections of the skin. Aloe vera is still widely used in many traditional systems of medicine.
