Plant used by ancient Greeks and Romans to treat wounds

I believe the answer is:

aloe

(Other definitions for aloe that I've seen before include "has a bitter taste" , ". . . . vera, soothing plant" , "Plant source of purgative drug" , "Bitter fruit" , "Fleshy-leaved plant" .)

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