An aloe plant, available at your local greenhouse, is a little phyto-pharmacy. Just slice off a mature frond from the bottom (they have the most juice) and squeeze the gel onto injured areas. Store the leaf in the refrigerator for one to two weeks.

Use it to treat sunburn, insect bites, bee stings and more.
