Plant Description
Aloe vera
Aloe looks like a cactus, but is actually a member of the lily family. A tender tropical, native to Africa, you can grow aloe as a houseplant, in fact is it wise to do so. Not only does an aloe plant provide quick relief from a burn or scald, the potted plants have been shown to remove formaldehyde from tainted indoor air. Commercial aloe skin care products (containing stabilized aloe) rarely, if ever, pack the therapeutic punch of fresh aloe.. avoid them.
Folklore, Myths and Legends
Astrology:

Nicholas Culpeper
folkloreAloes was employed by the ancients and was known to the Greeks as early as the forth century B.C. Uses by Dioscorides, Celsus and Pliny. It is said one of the reasons Alexander the Great invaded the Scocotra Islands was to provide Cleopatra with Aloe.
