Aloe info needed?is it supposed to smell like this?

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I was wondering if any one on here could offer me some insight on my Aloes

I have several aloes growing for a few years,looking extremely healthy

and having babies like mad(all these plants have been born from a

house Aloe I had for 8 years.Thing is,i haven't used the juice much.It

has a very pungent smell,strong and not preticularly pleasant in my

opinion.What has your sniffer thought of raw Aloe??I was wondering if

that is normal?If it is perhaps the type of Aloe or if theres anything

i can do to make it a bit more pleasant.

Thanks much in advance!! Nan

I adore aloes. Yes that is normal. When someone in our home has a burn or cut,

I go directly to our aloe plant. It is amazing plant and here in the Arizona

Desert it grows wild. They are wonderful and beautiful when they bloom. Some

people from other places watches the deserts weather and waters them when it

does rain here. We get on the average ony about five inches of rain per year.

Aloe plants do give us much. If you have it in lotion, put it in the fridge and

use it on a sunburn, it really does comfort the sun burns. I remember using it

as a kid when i played too long in the sun. The coldness of it when put in the

fridge feels heavenly. Cath K

Im not sure if that's normal for your aloe plant but all the one's I've

grown (and my parents ) don't really smell like anything. Just like

water doesn't smell like anything. Maybe you have a special type or it

has a disease? I'm not sure- maybe someone else has smelled what you

are smelling? Good luck!

I live in Arizona where the aloe plants naturally grow, I always thought when

cut they smelled refreshing, all depends on personal experience.

There are lots of varieties of aloe. I live in Hawaii and recently

went on the National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) tour in Lawai.

Our guide told us that the aloe with the most healing properties

smells like chicken soup! He then broke off a piece and passed it

around. Sure enough, it smelled just like chicken soup. it was

amazing!

 

hope this helps,

refreshing.... Aloe.Thanks to you and all the others who have chimed in about

At certain times of the year, under some stress conditions, yes, aloe

vera does take on a very funky scent. Repulsive, even.
