10 ways I use Aloe Vera! - Love this stuff!!

Hey! Aloe vera is my go-to 'product' for sooo many health, beauty and wellness benefits! I honestly love aloe vera and its so easy to grow and harness the benefits directly from the plant. As you guys probably know by now, I get really excited about finding natural alternatives and solutions to our everyday needs - there is nothing better than being able to create your own wellbeing at home.

Ways I use aloe vera:
1. Exfoliator / moisturiser in one! : split them open and sprinkle some sugar on them then rub them over your body
2. Boil leaves in water & inhale to help with asthma symptoms and clearing sinuses
3. Sun burn remedy - rub over burn areas - cools & reduces inflammation
4. Face mask - apply by itself, i like to blend aloe gel and avocado for a super moisturising restorative mask!
5. Remove itchiness from insect bites / rashes
6. Take it as a ‘supplement’ - adding little cubes to salads or smoothies because it contains many vitamins including A, C, E, folic acid, B1, B2, B3, B6 & vitamin B12. Some of the 20 minerals found in Aloe vera include: calcium, magnesium, chromium, zinc, selenium, sodium, potassium, copper, manganese & iron
7. Treat & protect acne - its antimicrobial AND forms a protective barrier over the skin (great for after a face scrub or ‘open’ acne -overnight protect)
8. Sooth crackling skin - rub over heal
9. Hair leave-in treatment - you can just add a little to you hands and smooth it gently through your hair (or you can
10. Drink aloe vera juice to relieve gastrointestinal disorders like indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, it helps with keeping things flowing and a bunch of other benefits for your digestive system,

If you apply aloe Vera to your scalp and leave it on for like an hour then wash out it makes your hair really soft and helps with hair growth!

[gymnastfun]

When you take a peace of aloe off of the plant you should thank it

[Sugarsweet]

so pretty much just go into a pool of ale vera gel because it helps everything lol

[CrazyFashion]

i learn more from your channel then i learn in school

I love aloe vera when I use to live in the islands I used it quite often.For my hair skin and to drink also...veryyyy bitter though ..lol. I need to start using again but I realized the ones I buy from the store here in America is not as bitter as the ones back home in Jamaica....tfs

Aloe vera is so useful and it naturally cleanses, moisturizes, and smoothes skin

I had to watch this because my baby aloe vera plant got a big piece broken off so now I'm sitting with aloe all over my face and hair and I'll eat some when I get the courage! thank you!!

I *love* aloe vera! Is it safe to use the ones that grow in your garden (those small ones)? I heard that those ones aren't safe to consume.. Not sure if it's true at all.

I had stomach problems for a while similar to irritable bowel. That’s when I noticed I was craving to eat aloe. I was delighted to find Alevera juice at the local big lots store. It helped me a lot

[FeonaLeeJones]

I have a ton of aloe Vera plants growing in the backyard! They just keep proliferating. Time to make use of these plants ! 🌱

[AshleyAJGLITTER]

at this farmers market near me they sell huge aloe vera leaves for 1 dollar!

[kmazingxD]

Definitely wanna go buy the plant now. I had no idea they were so useful. Thanks for the great tips! Love your videos!

[Cwnzl]

Wow did not know you could digest this stuff!! Love this stuff

[ForeverLivingDistributorJo]

Love your video, you put across the info so well :) For newbies to aloe vera I just wanted to mention that only 4 aloe types have the healing properties (aloe barbanensis miller is best) and make sure you avoid the yellow latex layer, only use the clear gel :)

[AshleeRose]

I have an aloe plant, but I never use it lol. cause it smells bad to me. :P but my mom used to put the gel on sores and it helped heal it faster.

[jackie]

Love your video. Just an FYI- your aloe may taste bitter b/c you are eating concave aloe leaves, rather than convex aloe leaves that are very plump and full. Apparently when they are convex and plump, this is a sign that they are ready to be eaten.

[aaliyah]

You could take the gel from the leaves then put it in a ice cube tray, then before you go to the beach put the ice cube tray in the cooler, then if someone gets a sunburn you pop the aloe vera cubes out and rub it on the sunburn and it feels good since it is frozen

[lovenaturemoran]

I really love using aloe vera as well!I will probably try these out! Love your channel😘😘

[MarieLovelains]

Who knew this big spikey plant could do so much! Thanks for the tips this is going to help me a lot I only thought it was for sunburns.

[emmalouisev]

What great ideas! I need to get me an aloe vera plant!
