The gel from the aloe plant is often used to soothe skin that is dry, sunburned, or irritated. Aloe vera gel is an anti-inflammatory and may even have antibacterial and antifungal properties. Many people with digestive problems drink aloe in a juice form to treat their symptoms. However, there is one part of the aloe plant that is not recommended for people with IBD, as ingesting it could lead to serious diarrhea.

I am glad to see the results are well seen with aloe vera. i have seen some products at my local heath store with aloe vera and was just wondering if this was as effective as using the gel from the plant.
I incorporated aloe vera juice to my regime this year and I’m liking it,just want to know if the gel is more beneficial than the juice?
