The aloe plant produces succulent leaves that when cut or broken open present a transparent gel that is used for a variety of medical purposes, according to the Mayo Clinic website. This cactus related plant is easy to grow outdoors in warm climates or indoors during cold winter months. It regenerates leaves quickly, providing instant access to the gel when needed. Before you treat any medical condition with aloe vera, consult your doctor.
