Aloe Vera is one of the most nutritious plants in the world and has been used for thousands of years. It is able to rapidly penetrate all our skin layers. Aloe can give our body nutrition. This plant has yellow flowers and triangular, fleshy leaves with serrated edge. Each of its leaves has three layers. Aloe is commonly used for sunburns, cuts, skin care, or even consumed. It is only about a foot or a 2 feet tall. Most people use Aloe simply by cutting off a piece of leaf and squeezing the liquid onto their skin. Aloe Vera juice helps clear the toxins out of the digestive system, facilitates digestion and improves the functioning of the kidneys, liver and gall bladder.
         There is gel inside the thick, succulent leaves.
