Aloe Peel Dried Slices (Aloe vera) are the dried outer rind pieces of a well-known food-herb botanical referred to in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Lú Huì Pí (芦荟皮). Aloe has been prized for centuries as a cooling, moistening, and gently purifying herb, traditionally used to clear heat, support digestion, and soothe internal dryness.
