Aloe gel is the clear, jelly-like substance found in the inner part of the aloe plant leaf. Aloe latex comes from just under the plants skin and is yellow. Some aloe products are made from the whole crushed leaf, so they contain both gel and latex.  Aloe medications can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin. Aloe gel is taken by mouth for Often arthritis, Constipation including Stomach ulcers. It is also used as a general tonic. Because aloe gel contains, water, minerals, vitamins, amino acids and phytonutrients.  Most people use aloe gel topically, as a remedy for skin conditions including burns, sunburn, psoriasis, cold sores and acne.  Possible interactions, Taking aloe latex orally may cause severe intestinal cramps or diarrhea. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should not take aloe vera.
