Aloe vera as a topical gel for treating sunburn may also have other health benefits, because of its antioxidant properties.
According to online site Healthline, research shows it may help your skin, dental, oral, and digestive health as well as improving blood sugars.
It says older research has indicated that both the gel and juice from aloe vera may lower fasting blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
Another online site, Cleveland Clinic, says drinking aloe vera juice is one of the best ways to reap health benefits from the plant.
For instance, aloe vera juice can alleviate some of the acid in your stomach that brings on heartburn.
