Abstract
Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller), the herb Aloe vera is as old as
human civilization. It belongs to the family “Liliaceae”. The genus is
found in Tropical and Southern Africa and Arabica. It was introduced into
other parts of the world for ornamental purposes (Reynolds, 1985). The
word Aloe is derived from the Arabic word “Alloeh”, meaning “bitter and
shiny” substance while “vera” in Latin means “true.” Today, the Aloe vera
plant has been used for various purposes in dermatology (Surjushe et
al. 2008). Several species of the genus aloe have been in use under the
common name of aloe viz., Aloe vera, Aloe barbadensis, Aloe ferox, Aloe
chinensis, Aloe indica etc. Among these, Aloe vera Linn Syn. Aloe
barbadensis Miller are accepted unanimously as the correct botanical
source of aloe. In most of the references, Aloe barbadensis Miller is
regarded as the correct name (Saroj et al, 2004).
