The history of Aloe Vera Aloe vera is one of the oldest recorded medicinal plants. The first known record of aloe vera was 6000 years ago in Ancient Egypt, where it was viewed as a god-like plant, and they even illustrated the walls of their sacred temples with pictures of aloe. When a Pharaoh died, the ‘fee’ to enter the funeral ceremony was a pound of aloe. Wealthy families would gift hundreds or thousands of pounds of aloe to show how highly they regarded their recently deceased Pharaoh. The aloe was then used to make a mixture of embalming fluid. The common belief at the time, was that in stopping the physical decomposition process, eternal life could be attained – both on a physical and a spiritual level. Aloe was known as the “plant of eternity “. The first detailed description of aloes is probably in the Ebers Papyrus.
