Many legends exist that tell varied stories about aloe vera.

Aloe is most commonly thought to have originated from Africa. There are over 300 species of aloe today and of those 300 species, only 4 or 5 types are known to have medicinal, curative and beneficial properties. The most popular type of aloe is known as aloe vera or scientifically barbadensis miller. The Bible also speaks of aloe vera in over a dozen passages, where it is referred to as a “bitter herb.” The body of Jesus was anointed with bitter aloes before being placed into the tomb (John 19:39)
