Curiosity

Aloe has been widely used in many parts of the world for cosmetic and medicinal purposes for thousands of years.

The first evidence of the use of Aloe comes from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia , where it was called " the plant of immortality ", in fact also used in the mixtures used for mummification (probably due to its natural antioxidant effect).

We then move on to Hippocrates (460-337 BC), father of modern medicine. In numerous medical books he praises his healing properties.

Discoride (20-70 AD) talks about it in "De materia medica", listing the properties of Aloe as healing, anti-inflammatory and useful in skin infections.

Pliny the Elder , in the treatise "Historia Naturalis", describes the therapeutic properties of Aloe .

It is also mentioned in various passages of the Bible : in the Book of Numbers, in the Song of Songs and in the Gospel of St. John (19.3) as a component of mixture used to anoint the body of Jesus after the descent from the cross.

The Tibetan medicine compared to the Ayurvedic they still use today for their preparations.

The Templars used aloe as an ingredient in a special drink they called " Jerusalem Elixir ".

In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance the medicinal use of aloe spread to the northern regions of Europe.

Christopher Columbus , who went down in history as "the explorer of the New World" in one of his writings declares that four plants are indispensable for man: wheat, vine, olive and aloe. The first nourishes, the second rejoices, the third gives harmony and the fourth gives health.

As you can see, the relationship between Aloe and human being is rooted in the mists of time and is not the latest news of the moment.
