Microscopic Examination of Placenta of Rats Prenatally Exposed to Aloe barbadensis: A Preliminary Study
Aloe barbadensis is the most widely used both commercially and therapeutic properties. It has been used for an array of ailments since ancient times as a medicinal plant. There are more than 360 different species of Aloe. Its products have been used in health foods for medical and preservative purpo...
