Aloe vera

Aloe vera, also known as the medicinal aloe, is a species of succulent plant that probably originated in Northern Africa. Aloe vera grows in arid climates and is widely distributed in Africa and other arid areas. The gel from inside the plant leaves is frequently used in skin lotions and cooling gels. It is edible, and is frequently added to yogurt, drinks and desserts.
