Soothing application (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aloe

'soothing application' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for aloe that I've seen before include "Bitter drug from a leaf juice" , "Succulent plant (may be bitter!)" , "O, ale with bitter plant" , "Bitter fruit" , "shrub" .)

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