INTRODUCTION TO ALOE VERA
Aloe vera originates from North Africa. In Egyptian mythology, Queen Cleopatra used aloe vera to maintain smooth and radiant skin. Meanwhile, the Greek Emperor Alexander used aloe vera to treat wounds for soldiers during distant military campaigns. Inscriptions and drawings found in Egyptian temples dating back over 3000 years ago depict the awareness and utilization of aloe vera. Up to the present day, aloe vera has been proven and recognized for its role and effectiveness in pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics.
Aloe vera thrives in regions such as Phan Thiet, Phan Rang, and Phan Ri in Binh Thuan and Ninh Thuan provinces. It is highly resilient to drought and dry heat. Therefore, it is cultivated sporadically across provinces and cities in Vietnam for medicinal purposes or as ornamental plants.
