Aloe

Since the days of Ancient Egypt, humans have been using aloe. Cleopatra was said to have used aloe as a beauty tool. The Egyptians discovered the healing powers of aloe. They used it as one of the ingredients of embalming fluid. In the 10th Century, the Europeans were introduced, where it became an important ingredient in many herbal medicines. By the 16th Century, aloe arrived in the West Indies where still today it is grown and harvested.

There are over 300 different types of aloe, but only a mere few were used traditionally as an herbal medicine. Aloe Ferox is by far the most widely used of all the aloe species in health and beauty products today.

Rooibos

Although Rooibos was first reported in 1772 by botanist Carl Thunberg, the Khoisan people of the area had been using it for a long time and were aware of its medicinal value. The Dutch settlers to the Cape adopted Rooibos as an alternative to black tea, an expensive commodity for the settlers who relied on supply ships from Europe. Until the 19th century, however, Dutch usage of the tea was minimal.

In 1903, Benjamin Ginsberg, a Russian settler to the Cape and descendant of a famous tea family, saw potential in Rooibos and began trading with the local Khoisan people who were harvesting it. He sold his "Mountain Tea" to settlers in the Cape and shortly became the first exporter of Rooibos using contacts from the family tea business.

Rooibos has grown in popularity in South Africa, and has gained considerable momentum in the worldwide market too. A growing number of brand-name tea companies sell this tea, either by itself or as a component in an ever-growing variety of blends. In the 1930s, Since then, Rooibos has become known for its health and beauty properties.
