Abstract
Aloe vera is the oldest known, and the most widely applied medicinal plant worldwide. It is a
unique plant with a wealth of historical and cultural value, which is bolstered by its diverse range
of applications and vast botanical history (Foster and Hunter, 2009). Its extensive pharmacological
characteristics are supported by its varied chemical composition, which includes both gel and latex
ingredients. These pharmacological properties have been verified by multiple scientific studies, that
confirmed its efficacy in several key areas (Surjushe et al., 2008).
