 The Ancient Egyptians revered it as the "plant of immortality", the Greeks used it for skin disorders, and the Romans prized it as an antiperspirant. Aloe vera has been known for its healing properties since the dawn of civilization, but only recently have scientists attempted to verify the many claims made on its behalf. This authoritative book separates truth from legend and offers advice on its many uses - as a juice, as a moisturizer, and on animals. A section is included on how Aloe vera is harvested and processed for medicinal purposes. Practical, sensible, and comprehensive, Aloe Vera is the best guide to this healing plant that has benefited so many people. |
