Today's Harvest: ALOE

(Aloe vera)

WHEN you need relief from any skin related issue- there is nothing more satisfying than to be able to choose from you own medicinal plants for remedy. ALOE is one of those awesome plants- good for bites, rashes, acne- even tightens up your skin. I like to cut a leaf and strip off the skin (and latex), put the clear leaf into a blender with colloidal silver- and create a great healing liquid- used for mouth/tooth/gum issues, as a mouthwash- or as a topical spray after shaving!

Cut the spikes off the sides of the leaf.

Aloe vera tows the line when it comes to HEALING.

GREAT FOR:

Wounds / Burns / Rash / Insect Bites – apply liberally, as often as needed.

Herb Properties and Uses:

ASTRINGENT

EMOLLIENT

Remove the outer skin and yellow latex (see some latex left behind in left corner of gel)

ANTI FUNGAL

ANTI BACTERIAL

ANTI VIRAL

ORAL WOUNDS

PERIODONTAL DISEASE

HIGH CHOLESTEROL

ANTI INFLAMMATORY

POOR CIRCULATION

GASTROINTESTINAL

LAXATIVE

WHETHER USING RAW ALOE OR PURCHASING A PREPARED REMEDY,

Place peeled leaf into blender, add colloidal silver and a few drops of peppermint essential oil.

ONE SHOULD BE CAREFUL IN DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN THE LATEX AND THE GEL.

THE GEL IS THE PULPY, TRANSPARENT CONTENT OF THE SPLIT-OPEN LEAVES AND FAMILIAR TO ANYONE WHO HAS USED ALOE TO TREAT KITCHEN BURNS.

THE LATEX IS A YELLOWISH SAP FOUND CLOSER TO THE INNER SKIN OF THE LEAVES AND WHICH DRAINS WHEN THE LEAVES ARE CUT OPEN.

BE INDEPENDENTLY HEALTHY-

Pour the mixture in a glass jar and refridgerate. Use as needed as a mouthwash, or topical spray.
