Aloe To The Rescue

Sometime in May 2014, my son had an accident with a metal chair.  

 Apparently, a fellow classmate placed the chair over a doorway and it fell and hit him on his head as he was passing through. 

To cut a long story short – when he got home and told me that the school nurse had cleaned it for him and stopped the bleeding, I immediately thought of my trusted aloe. 

I cut a piece of aloe, removed the clear gel and cut a piece just wide enough to cover the cut area. He spent the rest of the evening with this on his head. The only time it was removed was to replace the dried out section with a fresh piece. It only took about a week and a half for the cut to heal properly so that he could get a haircut! 

Before it was normally a headache to get him to use the aloe on his face but after witnessing its performance on his head, I can hardly keep up with him now. Every day he wants to put aloe on this, aloe on that! Talk about aloe mania!

I've been teaching him how to cut the aloe and remove the gel. Now he's adding it to his juices.

Dear old aloe vera, just cannot do without it.  Thanks Nature!

Aloe Vera and You – Healthy Drink

Aloe vera juice is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals - an essential source for maintaining circulatory and digestive health, energy levels and many cell processes.

Some of the vitamins present are vitamin A (Beta-Carotene), B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5, B6 (Pyridoxine), B12, C (Ascorbic Acid), E, and some folic acid. It’s got minerals such as calcium, sodium, iron, potassium, magnesium and copper.

Now that you know that the aloe vera contains these vitamins and minerals, what are some of the foods you would you have to eat naturally to be sure you are getting them all? You would have to eat:

Tomatoes or tomato juice, carrot, broccoli, pumpkin, spinach, cabbage, okra, black-eyed peas, asparagus, brussels sprout, avocado, white rice, sweet potato, mango, banana, orange, strawberry, watermelon, eggs, milk, liver, chicken breast, fish, lean ground beef, shrimp, etc.

That’s just too much food for me – I’d rather have a little of those foods and a great aloe drink.

So you have heard that drinking the juice of the aloe vera can help keep you healthy, right? And you decided to go out and buy a bottle “just to try it” and what happened? You had one glass and expected a miracle!

Well I believe it’s a miracle drink but it doesn’t work like that. You see it’s like the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” – you want to have a small drink of aloe on a daily basis. The commercially bottled type is less potent so 1/4 glass or so daily works fine for most persons. If you extract the 100% juice yourself then you want to take a tablespoon a day or every other day as your body can manage. Remember, each one of us is unique and your body may react differently, so start with small doses and determine what is right for you.

Delicious & Healthy Aloe Drink Recipe:

¾ glass *orange juice mixed with ¼ glass aloe juice (commercially bottled)
OR
1 glass *orange juice mixed with 1 tablespoon pure aloe juice extract

*optionally this may be your favorite fruit juice

That’s all for now.
