| Often called the 'Miracle Plant' or the 'Natural Healer', Aloe Vera is
a plant of many surprises. It flourishes in warm and dry climates, and
many people mistake it for a cactus, but, in fact, it is a member of
the Lily family. It stays moist where other plants would wilt and die,
closing its pores to prevent the loss of moisture. There are over 200
varieties of aloes, but it is the Aloe Barbadensis Miller (Aloe Vera)
plant, which has been of most use to mankind because of the medicinal
properties it displays.
