Ghritkumari is a famous herb that has been used in Ayurveda since ancient times. There is evidence to support these claims as well, considering Alexander the Great and Christopher Columbus both used aloe vera to treat the wounds of their soldiers. Ghritkumari is also mentioned in ancient texts such as in Vedas (600 BC), Samhitas (1500-600 AD), Nighantus, and more.

Ghritkumari is a perennial, xerophytic, shrubby plant that is pea green in color. The stems are stout and thick and can grow up to 80-100 centimeters in length. Ghritkumari or Aloe barbadensis (botanical name) is most commonly known by the name Aloe vera. The name derives from the word Alloeh, an Arabic word meaning a substance with shining bitter character.

Belonging to the family liliaceae, the aloe vera plant has thick, lanceolate, fleshy leaves with sharp points protruding from the sides. The leaves can grow to be up to 18 inches long and 2 inches wide, and the color typically spans from green to gray green. The leaves are extremely rich in water, so it can survive for many years. Conversely, the flowers of the kumari are cylindrical, pendulous and of dense racemes. They are of yellow color and grow up to 2-3 centimeters.

Ghritkumari is native to the Mediterranean region of North Africa, Canary Islands and Southern Europe. Today, it is cultivated in the USA, Mexico, Asia, Southern Europe, Aruba, Bonaire, Bermuda, West Indies, the Bahamas, Central America, and Southern America. The aloe vera plant grows wildly in the coasts and coastal regions of South India.
