Tag: Homemade aloe juice

Aloe vera has been used for centuries, with stone carvings suggesting its use in ancient Egypt. Beyond its soothing topical applications, the inner gel can be consumed for various health benefits, provided it is prepared correctly. Drinking the clear, firm gel from the leaf is the most common method, and proper preparation is key to avoiding the bitter, laxative-heavy latex.

According to Healthline, fresh aloe vera gel only lasts about one week without added preservatives. Making your own aloe vera juice at home is a rewarding way to access its natural benefits, and proper storage is crucial to preserve its freshness and potency.
