Aloe arborescens is one of the main varieties of aloe used worldwide.

The aloe arborescens is commercially grown mainly at South Africa, Italy, Uruguay and some asian countries. It is a variety highly used in Italy, as dietary supplement, juice and into cosmetics. Several laboratories have developed pharmaceutical products based on aloe arborescens. The product, however, is quite difficult to process industrially, and main presentations come from whole leaf aloe arborescens juice.

Many researches said it has more properties than the other aloe varieties for cancer and tumoral treatment. In fact, there is a famous home-made cancer treatment developed by Mr Zago, a priest who developed a drink mixing aloe arborescens miller leaves with sugar and an alcoholic drink, to be ingested by those with some cancer types and tumoral presence.
