Aloe has long been valued for its traditional medicinal and dietary uses. Among its many species, Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera, meaning true aloe) is particularly well known and thrives in warm climates. Through centuries of cultivation, A. vera has become naturalized across tropical and subtropical regions and has traditionally been kept as a household plant, valued for both its ornamental qualities and its use as a first-aid remedy for minor cuts and burns.This book explores the history, traditional applications and contemporary significance of A. vera and related aloe species. It also examines the regulatory framework surrounding aloe-based dietary supplements, including the U.S. Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994, which established the federal definition and regulatory framework for dietary supplements containing vitamins, minerals, herbs, botanicals, amino acids and other dietary substances.
