Abstract:
Aloe vera has been recognized for centuries as a medicinal plant renowned for its myriad health benefits, earning it the moniker of 'nature's miracle healer'. This tropical succulent thrives in warm, arid climates and resembles a cactus with its fleshy, spiky leaves. Among approximately 400 species of Aloe, Aloe barbadensis Miller (known as Aloe vera or "true aloe") stands out, predominantly found in Asia, Africa, and other tropical regions. This particular species is celebrated for its medicinal properties, including moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal effects.
