This succulent plant is thought to have originated in the African Sudan. It is known to have been used for its medicinal properties since nearly 4,000 years ago. Today, many wild and fantastic claims are being made for its usage…everything from diabetes to herpes. While these claims are mostly dubious, its effectiveness in treating minor burns and skin conditions is pretty well proven.
