Aloe vera is a cactus-like plant that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. Its gel is commonly applied topically to treat skin conditions like sunburn and wounds, due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Aloe vera is also consumed orally in the form of juice or supplements to support digestive health and reduce inflammation. Studies suggest that aloe vera supplements may also help lower blood sugar levels, improve skin health, and support the immune system. Aloe vera is available in various forms, including gel, juice, capsules, and powders, and it can be applied topically or ingested orally.
