Aloe vera gel is reportedly great for sunburns and as a moisturizer. There are also a lot of medicinal uses cited for the gel and juice, though its taste is a little prohibitive for my liking. Also, as it does interfere with some medications and can cause electrolyte imbalances and other problems in sensitive individuals, I would proceed with caution when it comes to ingesting the fresh stuff. There is a lot of information out there about the benefits and risks of aloe vera, and I intend to get more familiar with it. But mostly, I just love having it around.
