stayed out a little to long in ths beautiful hot weather?? This also works for other minor burns also. aloe vera ( a plant) isdreat for numbing and healing minor burns. I have used my aloe plant for decoration until one day.... I was cooking spagetti for my family and it came time to drain the noodles everything was gong fine until I reached the sink the pot slipped and my hand hit it. I ran room temperature water over it, patted it dry with a owel (painfully) . Itwas a minor burn, so I took my aloe plant and ripped a part of a leaf off. The gooy stuff inside the leaves is the stuff that you use to spread on your burn. It heals and takes away the pain of your burn.

Aloe looks like a small cactuse bush. It consists of long thick leaves (which hold the liquid that you use). There is no base to it..
