Posted in Articles on 08/28/2009 04:02 pm by Guest AuthorBefore you can make your Aloe Vera Juice drink you need to prepare the Aloe Vera.If you don’t you could get more than you bargined for as the sap of Aloe Vera is a very potent laxative.
New leaves grow from the centre upward so it is best to leave the fresh, young leaves be which are located on the top of the plant, and just cut the older, outer leaves.
The aloe vera leaf consists of rind containing sap, the latex layer containing its bitter juice, and the gel layer which is a rich source of over 200 naturally occurring nutritional substances.
Peel off the skin from aloe vera. Try not to get the yellow latex juice on your clothes as it will stain. The easiest way to avoid this is to wash the aloe under running tap water until it is clear and transparent. Cut into cubes.
For every 3 cups of 100% Aloe Vera Gel, add 1 teaspoon of vitamin C powder to stabilise and blend at low speed. Store in a covered glass container in your refrigerator. It is best to make smaller amounts regularly as the Aloe Vera in this unpreserved state will lose its effectiveness quickly.
Start by mixing 2 tablespoons daily with water or your favourite fruit juice (This will help to disguise the gooey texture and makes it easier to swallow). Slowly increase number of tablespoons of Aloe Vera Gel until you get a loose poo. When this happens cut back 1/2 tablespoon and this will be your saturation point.
Taking 100% pure Aloe Vera Juice drink regularly, is the most effective way to reap the medicinal benefits of Aloe Vera.
