The juice of the leaves of several Aloe species has medicinal properties in the treatment of ulcers, purulent ophthalmia, as a cream for reddened or sunburnt skin, and as a mosquito-repelling lotion. The drug "bitter Aloes" is a powerful cathartic sometimes used in black magic rituals to induce a trance state.
