Homemade Aloe Vera Juice

RE: Homemade Aloe Vera Juice Post By chris (Guest Post) (08/19/2008) I'm not sure about the aloe vera juice, but you can take turmeric for the diarrhea. It is a powerful anti-oxidant & stops diarrhea really well. There is a web site that has wonderful remedies. It's "earth clinic.com". You type in the problems & it gives really good advice. The only thing I' ve discovered about tumeric, is you need to get good quality & it needs to b in capsules, unless u capsule it your self. I have given up getting it from vitamin companies, cause it takes much more to work. I get it from a health food store in bulk. One thing to look for when u do get it, is it has the appearance of a powder mixed with a little oil. The stuff from vitamin stores is always very dry & powdery. I use rubber gloves to do it, it WILL stain ur fingers badly. I suffer from chronic diarrhea, so i have spent some time researching this. The good quality stuff only takes about 3/4 to 1.5 tsps, to work, i take 3/4tsp, in a large capsule, 3 times a day. Works like a charm & when iIm under stress. I need to take more. I use it in cooking, too. It's the main spice in lawry's season salt. Hope this helps. Try earth clinic, too.

I have IBS, but I also have an extremely sensitive stomach, prone to ulcers and gastritis. If you have stomach (as opposed to bowel) problems, aloe vera can REALLY do a nasty job of irritating the stomach. So just be sure you don't have a history of ulcer disease, before you take aloe vera internally. :-) Report Spam or Abuse Request: Homemade Aloe Vera Juice Post by Stew_Admin (163) | (05/05/2008) Profile | Contact I am growing aloe plants for juice.

RE: Homemade Aloe Vera Juice The green part of the aloe plant needs to be removed because it contains something that causes diarrhea. So if you drink a lot of juice which had the green in it, you will end up with loose bowel movement. It would sort out constipation problems but IF your taking it to build the immune system its best you remove the green.

I have digestive disorders - an infalmed bowel, irritable bowel and diverticular disease. I would like to make my own juice but this article worries me. I wonder if just scraping the gel from the aloe leaf is enough to get rid of these substances.? Any advise for this? "Aloe Vera Plants-Other substances found within the Aloe Vera plant, including irritants, prove to be counter productive for internal consumption. Doctors confirm that whole leaf. Aloe Vera, and raw Aloe Vera gel and liquid, contain some ingredients, that when taken internally, are irritating to the gut and intestinal linings. These substances promote diarrhea and are irritating, especially to individuals with digestive disorders. Removing these irritants will leave you with the Aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides, the healing agent of the Aloe Vera plant." from 'Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides Basics' Site has great reading, Cheers,Roz (03/20/2008) By roz RE: Homemade Aloe Vera Juice How can I use the aloe vera for my hair.

Stacia from Moreno Valley, CA Answer: Stacia, I don't have a recipe for you, but I do have some other information. Aloe (Aloe vera) has long been used as a remedy, both topically (the pulp) and orally (the inner lining of the leaves), for many health conditions. Traditionally, Aloe has been marketed to consumers as a remedy for coughs, cancers, headaches, immune-system deficiencies and cuts and scrapes. Scientifically, studies have been done on using aloe to lower blood sugar in people with diabetes, to treat stomach and mouth ulcers and to control joint inflammation. The Mayo Clinic uses scientific studies to grade aloe's effectiveness on treating a variety of medical conditions. It also discusses uses, dosing and safety concerns including allergies (people allergic to certain foods and plants may be allergic to Aloe) and potential side effects. Before ingesting Aloe or using it topically, I would recommend perusing the Mayo's web page for more information. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/aloe-vera/NS_patient-Aloe Ellen Ellen Brown is our Green Living and Gardening Expert.

I've had a family member drinking it for his diverticilitis for at least 3 years. He quit taking the medicine for it and has never since had any trouble with the condition. It has to be pure aloe juice, not watered down versions. An 80 year old lady drinks it daily. The doctor told her her intestines were that of a 40 year old. The body only needs a tablespoon daily.

Thanks, Rafiq Answers: RE: Making Aloe Vera Juice at Home that should have said "how to make drinks or creams with aloe vera plants (06/03/2005) By salla RE: Making Aloe Vera Juice at Home I have found the following on the net and am about to try it myself: The plant needs to be 2-5 years old. Before cutting the leaves don't water the plant 3-14 days. 1. mix 1 or 2 table spoons of aloe vera juice with a cup of acacia honey. To boost your immune system and generally feel good take 1 table spoon of the mix 3 times a day before meals. You can add water or apple juice to that table spoon to turn it into a drink. 2. mix 150 grams of fresh aloe vera juice, 250 grams of honey and 350 grams of red wine. Wait 7 days and then take 1 table spoon 3 times a day before meals. 3. Cut off leaves of the aloe vera, wash them and cut them finely and add drinking water at room temperature in the proportion 1:3. Let it sit for 2 hours in a dark cool place, squeeze out, filter and drink. (06/18/2005) By Lenchik best way to use it i think the best thing to do with aloe vera is to just cut 1 leaf off when you have about 10-12 leaves and cut one side of the leaves rind off and slowly scrape the juice off but don't cut the gel out. This may take some time but there's no point making drinks or creams and all that stuff because you will just make it less effective. Just apply the gel (juice) on its own to any part of the body or drink it. (09/10/2005) By James RE: Making Aloe Vera Juice at Home As far as ingesting aloe vera-- don't. Although it is not extremely dangerous, it isn't safe for internal use either. It can cause problems, including severe diarrhea. When it comes to external use, the best way to use it is raw and fresh. The gel begins to lose its beneficial properties shortly after being removed from the plant. By the time it is incorporated into a cream or whatever you plan to turn it into, most the of the benefit is gone. Denise (09/24/2005) By Denise2003 RE: Making Aloe Vera Juice at Home I made a mistake in my lost post: I used "drain" instead of "strain". Here is the correct recipe: My Mexican friend told me how to do an aloe vera drink from the fresh leaves of the aloe vera plant: Wash the leaves. Cut off the 2 sides with thorns and discard. Cut the leaf in pieces. Put in blender. Blend. Strain. Extract all the juice, pressing the pulp with a spoon or a spatula. Rinse the blender. Put the aloe vera juice, the juice of one or two oranges and sugar (to taste) in the blender. Blend. Serve. I have done it several times. It is a little bitter but you get used to the taste or you can put more sugar or more orange juice. There is no problem about ingesting it. I have done it several time with no side effect. No diarrhea in particular. (09/25/2005) By Michele RE: Making Aloe Vera Juice at Home I just now for the first time split open the leaf and scrapped out the pulp and ate it. It did not taste bad or bitter. Does anyone know of a reason not to eat it like that? (03/02/2006) By Sandra RE: Making Aloe Vera Juice at Home I have tons of plants. They are so easy to grow. I was eating one or two big leaves almost every day. Cutting off the thorns on each side. Leaving the peel. Washing them with vinegar and water, Cutting them up, popping them in the blender with water. Adding a fresh lemon from my tree, including the lemon peel and seeds. From there: Adding a banana or the following combinations of possibilities: Fruits: watermelon, mango, apple, fresh pineapple, etc. Then I might add some oat bran, almond or filbert meal, sunflower seeds - maybe some protein powder. Covering it all with water and blending. Now, I swear on heaven and our beautiful earth that it is so delicious. So refreshing. Providing immediate energy and well being and a feeling of lightness. The aloe vera - even with it's green peel on has essentially no taste. It is frothy like adding beating an egg to create a light meringue. The one draw back is that i was eating/drinking so much of it, that I did get to where... well of course, I had no elimination problems, except a little too much elimination. Someone told me the peel isn't good for you. But it sure didn't seem to hurt me any that I noticed and I've been eating/drinking it in great quantities from my yard, organically grown and fresh for several years. I do want to know for sure if the peel isn't good for you. I hope it is good for you. It was great to get the added greens into my diet. I actually love it. Just wanting to check out if it is bad for us in any way? Does anyone know? (04/28/2006) By Summertime RE: Making Aloe Vera Juice at Home Aloe Vera Cold Cream: 1 tab aloe vera gel, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1 tab white beeswax, 2 tabs anhydrous lanolin, 2 tabs rose water, 2-3 drops essential oil (lavender, rose, eucalyptus, peppermint) Use a wire whisk or blender to mix the aloe gel thoroughly with the oil. Put the mixture aside. In the top of a double boiler, melt the beeswax with the lanolin. Slowly stir in the oil mixture. Then remove the pan from the heat and slowly stir in the essential oil and the rose water. Keep stirring as the mixture cools and thickens. Just before it begins to solidify, pour it into a sterile jar with a screw on lid. (05/01/2006) By jill RE: Making Aloe Vera Juice at Home I make Aloe Vera juice all the time for my husband.
