Aloe Vera Gel vs juice vs fractionated aloe

[Guest guest]

Hi Susan:

This is not complete, am sure others will have additions to make to this note.

Juice is for drinking for the most part. It can be used in some products, if

you wish. Twould be a personal thingie.

 

Aloe Gel, get the most pure one possible, which should be 99.7 or so % pure.

It must be refrigerated after opening, says so right on the bottle. No, I have

never added preservative and left out in the air. I use the preservative when

making a product. If I have a person that requires the purest form of aloe gel,

then I tell them it must be refrigerated asap. There are plenty of cases when a

person needs it in it's purest form.

 

Next on the list is Fractionated Aloe: Why, because I have some of it.

Bought it by mistake due to aloe blindness when looking at the different

products. <grin> It works great, and is thinner than the gel, has been

altered/cooked, etc., and should be less suseptible to mold, etc. Think it also

has to be refrigerated. Why? Dunno, but am almost sure it says so too~after

opening. It could be that I was gonna keep it around for quite a while and

refrigerated it because of that.

 

Hope this helps a bit. I know about the juice as I used to work for a vitamin

manufacturer that sold it for health benefits. It would need to be thickened

before use in products, I would think~if you did not want a water type liquid in

a product.

 

Aloe powder, have never used it, altho I want to give er the ole tryout.

Been shopping around for the right price on some. From what I know about aloe,

which is years old, it really needs to be in it's purest form to be the most

beneficial. Could not guarantee that the juice is even as beneficial as the

gel. Back when, some folks did ingest the pure aloe gel too. Or diluted it and

did so. Nowadays, that probably would depend on whether they live in an area

that it grows and can juice their own.

 

Aloe is a fun thing to work with and can be used as a thickner, for skin

problems, stomach problems, bug bites, sunburns, burns, in synergies for

heating/cooling rubs.

 

Note: You probably do not want use the " sunburn type aloes in recipes " due to

added ingredients and lack of purity.

 

Best Regards,

deb

FWIW, I'm told that if you take supplements with aloe juice instead of

water, you triple your absorption rate. Don't know if it's true.

Do you know anything about using aloe right from the plant? I have

cut the leaves, removed and strained the pulp and added it to some

whipped shea. I froze the rest for later use in something (don't know

what yet). Thanks for your help. Susan

We just take a piece, a small one and tear it open, scoop out the gel and

place it directly onto the burn or injury.

The plant soon heals the wound and will last some time anyhow if too much is

picked and can be rejuvenated in a moist spot..

Some also use a drop of lavender oil which can help deter infection and

speed up healing in burns. (adore lavender smell, in hard soap or fresh)

Unfortunately the Kangaroos have eaten all my supply this summer due to

drought.

We love our Aloe!

 

Keep a few pieces in the fridge, and they will be very refreshing - just

keep in an air-tight container. Mine last up to two weeks like that.

 

I also take a blob, straight from a piece of the plant, and rub it into my

hair, before washing. It leaves my hair softer than anything else I've

tried.

 

Cheers,

Christina

[Dave]: I would not be without it. I've never thought of it that way, but

I guess aloe vera is the most important herb I have. I have at least a

dozen plants. They're beautiful when they bloom. And, I'm gonna try that

hair trick.

I recently discovered another use for the hardy old Aloe Vera; Hair Gel!

Yes; Hair Gel. My hair has just grown back from almost one and half

years of baldness (thanks to chemo) and I realised 1) I don't remeber

how to do hair, 2) I don't have any product to do what I don't know

what to do with... so; I had a piece of aloe sitting on my vanity for a

quick skin mask, and thought well why not give it a go, and I tell you

what; it works wonders! Even on wild untaimed chemo curls!! Use the

fresh sap from the leaf; just cut it open and rubba dub dub!

It's such a therapeutically beneficial source of experimentation and

fun! EVERYONE should have multiple plants!
