Heals, discharges, and regenerates the spiritual field
Aloe Vera is one of the most powerful herbs in the spiritual healing practices of Umbanda and Candomblé. Linked to Obaluaê and Omolu (Omulu), orixás (orishas) who rule over diseases and health, it carries the force of regeneration and deep cleansing, acting on both the physical body and the spiritual body, dissolving energies of illness and renewing the practitioner's axé.
💡 "In the most traditional terreiros, there is a custom of planting aloe vera at the entrance of the house and on the edges of windows as protection against the evil eye and energies of envy. It is said that when the aloe vera is wilting without an apparent reason, it is a sign that it absorbed a negative energy charge intended for the residents of the house, having fulfilled its mission of protection."

Aloe vera originates in the Arabian Peninsula and northern Africa, and was widely used in Ancient Egypt in protection rituals. With the transatlantic trade, it was brought by enslaved Africans who recognized it as a plant of healing and protection, integrating it into the practices of terreiros as one of the main herbs of Omolu and Obaluaê, orixás owners of health and epidemics.
In the traditional garrafadas of Central Brazil, the raizeiro masters recognized in the knotted shape of the root the living metaphor of firmeza: the capacity to tie knots in adversity and remain standing even in arid lands.
In the most traditional terreiros, there is the custom of planting aloe vera at the entrance of the house and on the edges of windows as protection against the evil eye and energies of envy. It is said that when the aloe vera is wilting without an apparent reason, it is a sign that it absorbed a negative energy charge intended for the residents of the house, having fulfilled its mission of protection.
