Aloe juice has been used for centuries for its extraordinary hydrating, regenerative, nourishing and healing properties. Over 5000 years ago, it was used by Egyptians for curative purposes.
However, we had to wait until 1935 to find the first scientific study relating to the curative power of Aloe vera, which was carried out by Doctors E. and C. Collins.
In 1959, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recognised that products containing Aloe vera help with skin regeneration. This was the major discovery which launched products made with Aloe vera.
As a result, since the 70s, the Aloe vera industry has not stopped growing.
Although there are many indications for its use, controlled trials are necessary to determine its true efficacy. The aloe vera plant, its properties, mechanism of action and clinical uses are briefly examined in this article.
