Known as the "first aid" plan, aloe vera is taken from the inner leaves of the plant. It is a water/gel-like substance that is known for its ability to soothe irritated skin, especially sunburned skin. It is also a soothing anti-inflammatory that can be used in lotions, creams, cleansers and other products.
P.S.: But be careful with it, because it can cause allergies (I’m allergic to aloe vera)
There are over 240 different species of Aloe, growing mainly in the dry regions of Africa, Asia, Europe and America.
Although Aloe Vera is a member of the Lily family, it is very-cactus like in its characteristics. This unique plant also belongs to a larger plant family called "Xeroids". Of the 240+ species of Aloe, only four are recognized as being of nutritional value to humans and animals. Aloe barbadensis miller (Aloe Vera species) is the top of these four. Significantly the top.
You can drink Aloe Vera? You've probably used it when you've cut or burned your skin and had fantastic results. You should consider drinking Aloe Vera too. Here's why...
Aloe Vera (barbadensis miller) contains over 20 minerals, all of which are essential to the human body. The human body requires 22 amino acids for good health -- eight of which are called "essential" because the body cannot fabricate them. Aloe Vera contains all of these eight essential amino acids, and 11 of the 14 "secondary" amino acids. Aloe Vera has Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E. Vitamins cannot be manufactured within the body, and some cannot be stored by the body, so it is necessary for the diet to sustain a continuous supply.
When drinking FLP Aloe Vera, it is recommended that - to get a steady supply of these minerals, amino acids and vitamins - one should drink between two to four ounces of Aloe Vera Gel twice daily.
------------------------------...
How Aloe products are manufactured is extremely important!
The gel of the Aloe plant, when exposed to oxygen for a prolonged time (about four hours) oxidizes - rendering it worthless. (This is the same reaction to air as an apple undergoes when the "insides" are exposed to air - it quickly browns due to oxidation.)
Thus, you want the manufacturer's reliable assurance, in writing, that not only is the species correct - but also from harvest, to filleting (removing the outer leaf to retain only the clear gel), to manufacturing the process is four hours or less. If you can't have this assurance, look elsewhere.

It's a plant.
It's an attractive succulent plant that also has healing properties. The leaves contain a gel-like substance that helps soothe burns. It's very easy to grow and tolerant of neglect, which I like in a plant. I have an aloe vera plant, now multiplied into several pots, which has survived years of my benign neglect. (I remember to water it every once in a while. When it began to tip over in its pot, I divided it over a few pots and each plant filled out nicely.) Aloe vera gel is used in a lot of cosmetic products because of its soothing, healing properties, but using the gel fresh from the plant gives you the most concentrated form. The plant is very forgiving of losing an occasional part.
