The use of Aloe vera as a family medicine is being promoted for a large variety of conditions. Often general practitioners seem to know little about its inorganic constituents for the treatment of certain diseases. Keeping this in view, the levels of pH, moisture contents, organic contents, soluble salts, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, CO32-, SO42- and PO43- in both soil and plant samples were studied and a strong positive correlation was observed for certain pairs of nutrients. The results were expressed on X ± SD basis and showed varied levels of selected nutrients in plant and soil samples. In case of soils the observed order in mg kg-1 was > SO42- > CO32- > Na+ > K+ > Ca2+ > Cl- > Mg2+ > PO43- and in case of plant the order was > CO32- > SO42- > Na+ > K+ > Ca2+ > PO43- > Cl- > Mg2+. This base line data generated will be helpful for the medicinal uses of this plant.
