Aloe Vera, especially if you squeeze it direct from the plant is great for skin burns and is wonderful for stomach problems if you can tolerate ingesting a bit of it.

I keep aloe plants growing around my house where ever I live.

Aloe is a genus of plants belonging to family Asphodelaceae, with about 400 species.

They grow in the drier parts of Africa, especially South Africa's Cape Province, and in the mountains of tropical Africa.

They are succulent plants. Members of the closely allied genera Gasteria and Haworthia, with a similar mode of growth, are also cultivated and popularly known as aloes.

They are cultivated as ornamental plants, especially in public buildings and gardens, for their stiff, rugged habit. The plants are apparently stemless, bearing a rosette of large, thick, fleshy leaves, or have a shorter or longer (sometimes branched) stem, along which, or towards the end of which and its branches, the generally fleshy leaves are borne.

The leaves are generally lance-shaped with a sharp apex and a spiny margin, but vary in colour from grey to bright green and are sometimes striped or mottled.

The rather small tubular yellow or red flowers are borne on simple or branched leafless stems and are generally densely clustered.

The juice of the leaves of certain species yields aloes (see below). In some cases, as in Aloe venenosa, the juice is poisonous. The plant called American aloe, Agave americana, belongs to a different family, Agavaceae.

Aloe vera contains anthraquinone gycosides, resins, polysaccharides, sterols, gelonins, and chromones.
