Aloe Vera is a home remedy for almost everything.
Including Aloe Vera in your regular nutritional plan, will make you look more attractive, youthful appearance.
**Common health benefits of Aloe Vera are:
-Lower cholesterol, reduces blood sugar level and triglycerides,
-Promotes hair growth and delays aging process,
-Cures wounds,
-Boosts immune system,
-Prevent cancer,
-Relieves symptoms of acid reflux,
-Relief from side-effects of radiotherapy.
The aloe cuttings needs to be soaked in water for 10 + minutes after the thorns are cut. This rinses out the yellow sap (latex). Soak again in fresh water to remove more of the yellow sap and start fillet the gel meat from the skin.
***Disclaimer: Drink / Eat / Prepare at your own risk.
Please research if you are allergic to aloe Vera /honey/ or apple cider vinegar or any other food product.
This is how I eat and prepare Aloe and is posted for entertainment.

[@nancysghiri7240]

Thank you very much !!!! Very useful information !!!!

[@tonyhelion3572]

Thank you, this is a great video, there are many videos done on Aloe Vera however so many of them do not remove the harmful latex yellow sap, its called aloin , that is an incorrect process. However you do it very well. The yellow sap actually causes serious burns to the skin which is absolutely unwanted, especially considering we normally use this gel to treat burns. The yellow sap also causes a stinging sensation on the skin, also many people have allergic reactions. Also of course the yellow sap is harmful to consume. Thank you, this is an excellent video. Well done

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Is the gel as good for facial use or does it need to be the leafs?

[@yfang9333]

OMG. Thanks for sharing. Exactly what I wanted to know in 3 minutes. Other videos out there are all hippies ranting on and on about how snake oil this vegetable is for 30+ min. You the MVP!

[@alldatzyall7356]

How come this is the first video of me seeing someone soak the aloe vera to get the latex out?

[@mourgoukos]

I 've seen a few aloe vera films here, yours was the most infirmative, on how to prepare clean aloe vera. Thnx :)

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Thank you.

[@aysiavlog]

My is red inside and I don’t know if i should use it on my face or not it was in the fridge for 2 days idk if it’s still good

[@Letsteaparty]

I love your video, only correct one out there. Thank you. Is it ok to freeze aloe Vera to use in smoothies or something later?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

I don't recommend freezing because it will lose nutrition. All you need to do is changing water daily.

[@Kmishelle]

Very helpful! How long can I store the gel in the fridge once I've removed it from the plant?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

For external use, maybe one week. For internal use, I would say three days. Over one week, I will put it inside the recycle bucket for recycling.

[@marvalousmetanoia9139]

Thank you so much for this helpful & informative video!!!

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

You are very welcome

[@belindaleonardo]

do you leave it overnight for mask? or rinse it off with water after 20-30 mins? thanks!

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

I would suggest to rinse it off in about 15 minutes for the first time. At the most, don’t leave it on more than 30 minutes.

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Try not to talk or smile when you are doing the mask.

[@obsoletebirb4152]

[@peppermint2111]

I'm wondering if you can use the liquid for drinking I heard it's a good for the stomach..

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

I drink it all the time. You may try it. I put in drinking water.

[@namjoonbrokejiminsjams2912]

I sound exactly my teacher😉 but the idea u gave was very very very nice

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Thank you! 😃

[@wanwan7613]

You said that you keep the skin of the leaves for future use. How do you use it? I always wanna use them but don't know how.

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Take it out from the fridge, just rub it on your skin, so cool and soothing. For single use. Hope you like it.

[@wanwan7613]

Great, thanks 😊

[@m4iphoric686]

Is it okay if I just cut it to pieces without removing the sap and then I put in water ... bcs ...i forgot to put it in the water in the 1st place ... and I just straight up cut it ... aand then I put it in water ... is that still edible ???

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Triggered Tofu No worries, still edible! Please don’t waste food. You may use it for facial or body rub as well! Thank you for asking:)

[@pablo10302]

Thank you so much if you got hater forget them but thanks so much

[@salotetuitavuki2174]

Do I soak it in cold or warm water

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

In clean cold water and put it inside the fridge

[@goaway.heydontleave1154]

Aww so sweet. I subscribed.

[@Sailorxdaeja]

Do I still need to remove the yellow sap if I bought my aloe vera leaf from a store?? Can I set into water if I have already cut it up

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

DaeJa Shaw yes, that will be alright.

[@hilearn1257]

So we cut the bottom of the leaf and put it in water for 10 mins, then cut the sides and the tip and soak it in for 5? And When we soak it do we just leave it in the water or do we have to rub it in with our hands?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Just leave it in the water is good enough. I drain all the water out through a strainer and soak it in clean water for storage inside the refrigerator.

[@XxGreenBeXx]

Do you refrigerate the excess that you didn’t use?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Pitufo yes.

[@ahmadarmstrong4415]

Do you wash with cold or hot water???

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

TrillGod24 cold water.

[@tabithawilson548]

Bought a leaf from wholefoods. Got home, rinsed then cut it up then watched this video...awe man i didn't soak...so after reading comments and replies i soaked but water did not turn yellow. Is it safe to say it was already clean?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Tabitha Wilson as long as you cleaned. It’s okay and don’t worry too much.

[@poonamgupta5986]

Delicious alloe vera🤭🤭🤭🤭😂😂😂😂😂

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Yes it is very delicious. You may share your recipe with us.

[@ApplePi3.1415]

You sound exactly like my best friend. 😂

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Good to hear that and thank you for letting me know! So if you miss your friend, you may watch my video again and again and I really don't mind. Best regards

[@aaronwenedy359]

if I put the aloev leaf in water for more than 3 hours, it is good?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Do you mean you left the aloe vera leaf in water before cleaning, that is fine. If cleaned and left it inside the fridge, it's fine too. I will not leave cleaned pieces in water for more than ten minutes in room temperature. (Hygiene issue) Hope this is helpful.

[@ImOutdoorzManTv]

Would u prepare it like this if u wanted to put the aloe on your skin??

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

I would love to clean it the same way.

[@jocelynlopez8222]

Do I use cold water or hot water or room temperature?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Room temperature water is fine.

[@tereekabruno9815]

Is the aloe leaf bad if it has brown spotting on the back side of the leaf

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

It's all depends. If you don't feel comfortable, just cut off section.

[@sathyashiva04]

Will it loose its nutrients if washed?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Both ways, I believe.

[@panimalartamil5386]

IS THE YELLOW SAP HARMFUL ON APPLYING TO THE SKIN....??

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

I am not too sure because I have not tried that before. The yellow color may stain your skin like tumeric.

[@brocolosuan2129]

How long soaked in the water each time.....

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

About three minutes and keep on changing water until the water is clear and no more yellowish.

[@Vehuelmikael]

Is healthy for eat it after doing what you did?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Absolutely! There are exceptions, if your body maybe allergic to certain substance inside the aloe vera. Best

[@Vehuelmikael]

Ty

[@trinitybritcher9656]

I forgot to wash the plant I got it from the store will I be alright?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

I am not sure, sorry

[@L00peey]

I didn't see yellow sap when I did mine, what does this mean? I just washed the outside sucked out the inside and ate it straight away, washed the skin properly and ate it.

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

You ate the skin too? Normally, you will see yellow sap right after you cut it. If you bought it from market, the sap already dried up and sealed back. Maybe you may cut it into small pieces and soap in water, cut the skin before you eat it. If you don’t have any stomach problems or diarrhea, you may want to eat it the way you are doing. Best wishes.

[@jaliyahowens876]

what if my aloe didn’t show any signs of yellow sap? should i be worried?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

No worries, just because may be not so fresh.

[@chaniebooo]

Why does the sap need to be removed?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

It may cause irritation to skin or indigestion.

[@nylaari6836]

So once the sap is removed it won’t itch my skin ?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Nyla Ari aloe Vera gel supposed to soothing your skin unless you’re allergic to it. If you do, you will feel differently when you touch and clean the leave. Just like when someone peeling taro roots, he/she will feel itchy in about two minutes..

[@anmolacharya]

I don’t get it is the yellow sap bad?

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

The yellow sap contains a chemical called aloin which will causes irritation to skin or indigestion to most people but there is exceptions.

[@dianerobson8176]

Does all the rinsing in tap water not make it not as healthy ...cos tap water not good these days ? ....

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Good question! If you have any concerns, you may wash it with filtered water or bottled water.

[@alleyse5795]

I have a lots of acne hypicmentation blemishes in ma face anyone tell me wat will i do ?? 😭😭

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

I am so sorry to hear about your issue. You may need to cut down oily food and snacks that are deep fried, i.e. French fries, drink a lot of water, have enough sleep. Change your pillow cases more often. More important, consult a skin specialist as soon as possible. Aloe Vera is only a supplement. Good wishes to you.

[@fiftyshadesofpee]

omfg u have the same bowl as mee

[@niaofnarnia]

What happens if you skipped the step to remove the yellow sap? Asking for a friend 🥴

[@athenegreenwood-diylifesty452]

Good question. This is only for extra step, a little precaution for side effects As long as you do not feel discomfort, that is fine.
