hmmm i probably use coconut oil more that aloe, but do use both. i don't have an aloe plant, or i probably would use it more. but i have used the juice for healing throat sores, or stomach upset, and the gel for burns and sunburns.

but for "owies" or rashes or other stuff i do grab my coconut oil first.

for some reason when i think of aloe i think more of healing and soothing something, but coconut oil i think more of healing and "fighting" something-such as a bacteria, virus, or fungal thing.
