The medicinal properties of aloe were discovered more than 3300 years ago. It is known that the ancient elixir of longevity included aloe juice evaporated from leaves - sabur. In Europe, aloe appeared only in 1700. It was brought along with its goods by Arab merchants. Juicy aloe leaves are rich in vitamin C, trace elements, mineral salts and other valuable substances. Aloe juice is a cloudy, light green liquid that has a bittersweet taste and a spicy smell.
