It can be used to treat burns, like sunburns. Usually to pick up part of the plant, remove the outer skin and crush it to a pulp, using the juices created from this as well, and smear it over the burn. Also, in Korea, people mush the pulp, add sugar and water and drink it, strange texture but tasty.
