The most up-to-date worldwide bibliography confirms that its phytotherapeutic effects much outshine those of Aloe vera. The red-flowered Aloe Arborescens has smaller leaves than the more common Aloe Vera but more medicinal benefits due to its usage of the leaf's peel, which is off-limits in Aloe Vera due to its high Aloin content. The difference between these two plants comes down to marketing, Aloe Vera is more well-known, but we can assure you that Arborescens has more beneficial properties.
