Using of natural substances with therapeutic properties has been used since ancient times [2]. At present, a number of prescribed drugs comes from plants [3]. Aloe vera has been used for medical purpose in several cultures for a thousand of years Egypt, India, Mexico, Japan and China [4]. This plant has triangular leaves. Fleshy with jagged edges, yellow tubular flowers and fruits which contain a lot of seeds. Every leaf consults of 3 clear get which of containing 99% water and the other are made of glucomannan, amino acid, lipids, sterols, vitamins, and middle lays of latex which of bitter yellow sap and contains anthraquinone, glycosides, and thick out layer of is 15-20 cells referred to as peel that has a protective function, synthesize carbohyidrates and proteins. Inside the skin is a collection of blood vessels responsible to transport substances such as water (xylem) and starch (phloem) [4].

The endorsement of CAM as such – by practicing clinicians and others supporting health care such as policy makers and health educators – when it is not rigorously shown to be more effective than placebo or sham/ simulation care, is arguably unethical, as has been demonstrated to be the case with orthomolecular psychiatry [5].
