Aloe vera is wonderful for burns, sunburn and other skin rashes.
If you have a plant in your garden, you can slice off part of a leaf. Run your knife along the edges to cut off the sharp spines. Next, slide your knife inside the leaf, cutting the leaf in half, cutting through the fleshy, juice filled flesh. You will notice a gel oozing from the cut flesh. If you scrape the inner flesh more gel will exude from the leaf.
How to use Aloe vera plant
Rub this gel onto your rash or burn and let it dry there. You only need a small amount of leaf as a little goes a long way. If you find you have cut off more than you need, just wrap the rest of the leaf in some plastic wrap or aluminium foil and keep it in the fridge until you need it the next day. The leaf will last a few days.
The plant will heal itself where it has been cut.
