Aloe Vera Juice in glass Aloe vera juice is a fantastic digestive aid with anti-inflammatory effects. It also works great to clean out impurities from the system because of its natural detoxifying and laxative effects. Making you own at home is better because the longer those brand-name bottles sit on the shelves, the quicker they lose their potency. Aloe vera is also one of the easiest plants to grow, so there's less of an excuse for not having them around! Here is how to easily make your own aloe vera juice at home with a blender.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

3 large aloe leaves, thorns sliced off
4 cups water

Steps:

Slice off the top green layer of the aloe leaf.

For thinner aloe leaves, use a spoon to scoop out the gel and place in a bowl.

For thicker leaves, use your knife to cut the block of gel out.

Add 3 cups of water to your blender.

Add aloe gel to the water.

Pulse for a couple of minutes. Make sure there are no lumps.

Enjoy as is or add to a fruit juice.

Can I use the gel for my face to clear
the pigmentation which is on both cheeks just below the eyes? I was told
aloe vera gel helps to clear the stuff if used regularly.

Guess it won't be harmless I hope. Your advise on this would be appreciated. Thank you.

That is one of the reasons I use it-- I have pigmentation on my cheeks. Give it a try!

Thanks as this is a great tip and I love the Aloe Vera plant for healing purposes too. I make this juice and just add a little flavoring, juice or coffee.

But - there can be a downside to this as it may upset your stomach if taken too often or too much at one time. I would suggest starting with a small amount and wait a few days to see how your stomach reacts and then add more but maybe not an everyday drink. (This has been my experience with using this drink.)
