GREAT article Sharon!
I don't have an Aloe plant anymore but when I did, I used it numerous times for sunburn. It felt so cool and healed the burn quickly!
I used Aloe for my radiation burns when I had cancer and it was the ONLY "lotion" my radiation oncologist allowed. I bought pure Aloe in a bottle
and while it worked beautifully on my radiation burns, to this day, when I smell it, it takes me right back to the room with the big machine shooting rads.
Not a painful memory, just not a happy one.
Not too long after I finished radiation, a dear friend I worked with was scheduled for radiation following her cancer. I bought her a bottle of Aloe and put it in her mailbox. She told me it was great stuff!
I'm with Sandy, I need to get another one. There's always a clothespin for my nose
