In Ancient Egypt
Aloe vera was called “the plant of immortality,” by the ancient Egyptians, and they were correct. That it was initially used 6,000 years ago is hard to believe. They revered its juices, too, because of the nutrients they contained, according to legend. They held it in high esteem. In their view, this plant’s “blood” was a tremendous source of beauty and health.

Aloe vera was supposed to have been a beauty secret of several ancient Egyptian princesses, including Cleopatra and Nefertiti. You should think about doing this yourself. The plant was connected with beauty throughout that time period. As an interesting side note, Egyptian scientists identified and reported on the plant’s soothing and anti-inflammatory qualities as long back as 1,550 BCE.
