What in the world is an aloe vera? This is the question asked to me by my British friend. I don't know if aloe vera is really not that popular to many but for me, aloe vera is one of the most common word I have heard since I was a kid. So I told him what I know about aloe vera and what do we do with it, what are the uses and importance of it. I need a little help from our friend YouTube to supply us with the video. So watch this first.
