Origins

The earliest record of Aloe Vera is found in the ancient Egyptian medical book, the Epanus Papinus. Aloe vera was found to have been placed between the knees of mummies in the pyramids. The book contains not only the treatment of diarrhea and eye diseases, but also a variety of prescriptions for aloe vera.

Aloe vera traveled to China via the Silk Road. In China, it was known as "aloe vera," and it also appears in the Compendium of Materia Medica (本草纲目), written by Li Shizhen, who is known as the grandfather of traditional Chinese medicine. In this book, aloe vera is not only recognized as a useful plant, but also "black in color and resinous," and it can be deduced that it was used in China at the time as a lump that was boiled dry and formed from the juice that had come from Europe.

Matters to be noted for external use

General use of extracted aloe vera active ingredients are relatively safe. However, some people have particularly sensitive skin, and if they have experienced dermatitis after using detergents, cosmetics, etc., or if they have an allergic constitution, they must first do a contact test before using aloe vera products.

First, apply the product behind the ear or on the inside of the wrist for a 10 to 20-minute skin test to observe the skin condition, and if the skin is normal, it can be used externally without worry. On the contrary, if inflammation occurs, or painful itching occurs, then conduct another test in a few days.

If the skin has an itchy feeling or a small red rash spot after topical application, this is generally not too serious, and can be faded in half a day's time, can be rinsed with lukewarm water, and do not scratch with your hands, in order to avoid scratching the skin and causing new infections. When it comes to serious skin allergies, you should stop using it immediately.
