From ancient rituals to modern wellness, aloe vera has earned its place as a global healing icon. In this episode of Green Earth Essentials, we explore the science and history behind this powerful succulent. Discover how aloe’s active compounds—like acemannan, aloin, and antioxidant vitamins—nourish the skin, soothe digestion, and support immune health.


We journey through aloe’s cultural roots in Ancient Egypt, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, unpack clinical studies on its healing properties, and offer tips for choosing the best products (or growing your own!). Whether you’re applying it topically or sipping it in a smoothie, aloe is more than a trend—it’s timeless plant medicine.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
