History of Aloe Vera

There is hardly anyone who has not heard anything about aloe. Avicena, Galen, Dioscorides, and Pliny the Elder wrote about him.

The first mention of this “green doctor” appeared in the 4th century. BC. Traditionally they are associated with the king of Macedonia, Alexander.

It is believed that Aristotle asked Alexander to conquer the island of Socorta specifically for the sake of aloe. He complied with the request and established a monopoly on the cultivation of aloe vera.

Scientists and healers of antiquity knew the most common type of aloe - Aloe Vera. In translation it sounds like “true”, “real” aloe. This species was distributed in the Mediterranean. From here the Spaniards brought the plant to South America. Aloe has found its new home on the island of Barbados (“Aloe barbadensis”).

Today there are about 300 species of aloe. Tree aloe is widespread in our region. The popular name is "agave". Its biological name is "aloe arborescens".

It is similar to aloe vera, but more like a small tree rather than a bush. In agave, the leaves of the stem grow from different sides, while in aloe they are arranged in a circle. South Africa is considered the birthplace of tree aloe. In Europe, they learned about this species only in the 15th century.

Different types of aloe have different effects. Thus, Aloe Vera has a healing effect that is almost 10 times stronger than that of the tree type. The latter, however, is actively used in everyday life.

Juice, purees and tinctures are made from aloe. If you cut a leaf from an aloe, liquid will flow out of it - that very valuable aloe juice.

Aloe in Akkadian sounded like "siburu". Hence the Arabic “saber” - endurance. “Sabur” was the name given to condensed solid juice from aloe leaves. Sabur for Galen was a component of the “elixir of life.” The designation "Sabur" is still used today.
