Speeds up the healing process of the skin. Can be used internally, for candidiasis (fungal infection) The leaf gel is applied to burns, sunburn, infections, cuts, insect bites and stings, and patches of eczema. Use for topical application by first washing the leaves, cutting into chunks, then slicing lengthwise to expose the gel. Smear the gel over the afflicted are, or hold in place with a bandage.
