Natural treatment for insect bites (4)

I believe the answer is:

aloe

(Other definitions for aloe that I've seen before include "Succulent plant (may be bitter!)" , ". . . . vera, soothing plant" , "O, ale with bitter plant" , "Genus of bitter herbs" , "shrub" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
