When I was about 15/16 I used this plant to soothe my eczema in the summer and One day my grandfather came to my room to tell me something. He noticed the smell but he thought it was me 💀💀. He politely started talking to me about the importance of finding a deodorant that was right for me 😹😹. My grandfather has since passed on, but this plant always reminds me of that hilarious moment with him. ❤️
Oh man it does smell like BO!! My friends mum used to put the gel in my hair (I had willddd curly hair) and I hated the smell but didn’t want to be rude and tell her. And I still can’t eat any aloe products because it would just bring me back to that smell!
My mom tries to cure literally everything with aloe vera. If we get a cut, burn, skin infection, pimples, rash--- anything skin related she'll throw aloe on it and tell us we're gonna be fine. So far she's been right.
@@rionayo9933 Lots of ways, you can literally just cut a piece, drain it, slice it open lengthwise and put it on ya. (which is how we most often used it). You can also make a gel cream out of it by basically doing what emmy did but putting the cubes and slime in a blender.
I remember once I had really bad sunburns and my mom put the aloe gel on my face, and i asked her if it was okay to eat, because it’s straight from the succulent. She hesitated for a bit but told me yes, so I took a big bit and put it into my mouth... and proceeded to absolutely d i e because it was so bitter- just thought that was funny and wanted to share
That’s adorable, thank you for making me smile! 😊 That reminds me, when I was little, I loved the smell of vanilla extract and I was convinced it tasted like it smelled. Lol, you can see where this is going. My mom would catch me trying to taste it straight from the bottle and stop me, telling me it tasted bad. I couldn’t understand why she was being so mean about hoarding that delicious vanilla for herself (i was VERY little!). One day, I finally touched my finger to the lid of the bottle before she saw and put my extract-covered finger in my mouth. The BETRAYAL I felt at that vanilla for smelling so good and tasting so awful 😂
@@climatesolutions649 pends on the plant vararity and ya gotta soak that aloe latex out. Its the latex that can cause issues in high amounts, thus aloe is better eaten not too, too often.
One time I got sunburnt on my face, and my grandmother had a bottle of aloe that she applied to soothe it. I accidentally tasted some of it and I thought I was weird for thinking it tasted great. Imagine my surprise when years later, I discovered that people indeed eat aloe! Someday I'll grow a big aloe plant and say I use it for skincare, but I'll actually just eat it. No one will ever know.
Yes, that's a good idea, I think everyone should have one, and fun fact if your aloe Vera is old enough (5 years or more), they actually have small beautiful red flower
Just be careful buying a bottle of aloe thinking you can straight up drink it. Some products made for skin care might not be 100% aloe and nothing else, there may be additional ingredients not safe for consumption.
Thank you, Emmy. You couldn’t know this, but your videos lately have been helping me get through some of the most severe panic attacks I’ve had in my life. I have been really struggling lately, but you help to give me 10 minutes of peace.
From someone else who got a bit of peace from Emmy's videos during a period of bad brain times: I hope things get better for you soon. Panic attacks are no joke. If you can, try to do at least one small kindness for yourself each day, because you deserve it, even if it's just drinking some water or watching a calming video like one of Emmy's. If you're going to therapy or seeing a doctor, I hope you get all the help you need. You're going to be okay and come out the other side of this struggle--if not right now, then one day. I'm cheering you on. You've got this! 💕💕
@@californiapoppy Thanks. I have been having panic attacks since I was 8 and have generalized anxiety and panic disorders. There is some trauma associated with it, but also it’s just the way my brain is wired. 💜
I just want to mention, to anyone who may be reading my comments, that while I do appreciate the sentiment of those giving me advice on how to help it, this is definitely not new for me. I’ve had this diagnosis for 20 years and yes, I do know all kinds of coping mechanisms and tips. I’ve certainly heard it all and done my fair share of research over the years. If you name it, I’ve tried it. Anyone with crippling anxiety/panic attacks will do just about anything to make them go away, and I’m no exception. Thank you all, and love to you all, though. Your hearts are in a good place. 💜 I’ll be ok. 😊
This may be the first time I’ve done something that you haven’t Emmy. My family used to keep small aloe plants around and we would squeeze the gel out of the leaves to treat our sunburns when we were kids.
OMG, we used to have so many aloe vera plants when I was growing up, and I would always tell my mom they smelled like armpits but somehow she never saw it that way (?) This title makes me feel so validated! Lmao 😂
I've never seen it sliced like this. That's so beautiful. I've had the juice and I've had some of it to rub onto skin but never thought to have it this way. Such a great idea , Emmy!
Aloe vera is also really good at cleansing the skin to prevent acne. It takes a small adjustment period though, because in my personal experience, it dried my skin out, but after a while it worked very well.
Here in PR, specially in the rural area, we usually have it in our gardens. We blend it with pure honey and lemon and use it as a cough aid and sore throat remedy!
Iv got a HUGE aloe plant in my front yard....we had it in our yard when we lived in Miami and we took it with us when we moved to Ocala, FL.....the plant itself is probably over 30 years old. I love it! I absolutely love the flavored aloe drinks with the pieces of aloe in it.
When I lived in Hawaii as a child we had an aloe Vera plant in our yard…. pretty much everybody did…and anytime we got sunburn or a cut or anything we just go break off a piece of the plant and squeeze it on and it would heal whatever it was within a day or two…. is wonderful and the plant will just grow back that section or you broke it off it was really cool!
That grape flavor is added in. It's the most traditional and common flavor of aloe vera juice drinks. I fell in love with them when I lived in Okinawa, and when they started to pop up in the US I was stoked. The pineapple flavor is really good too.
I'm kinda curious, is it artificial grape flavor or is it sweetened with sugar or something sweet that brings out the flavor of aloe vera but reminds us of grapes?
Whenever I have a bad day, all I have to do is sit down and watch your videos Emmy. You have a sense of humor and such a calming aura at the same time. I love it!
Where I'm from, south Brazil, we call it "babosa", referring to "baba" which translates to "saliva" - because of the gelly consistency. We use it for any kind of skin burn, and also for our hair (moisturizer) and as a suppository for those who suffer from hemorrhoids. Very versatile plant. I've never ate it, tho.
As someone who lives in Arizona, we use Aloe a lot for sunburns. I usually just buy it in the bottles. However I've never eaten it. We have prickly pear here too. If you havent tried it you should. They make it into variety of things. :)
I use it on my face daily, keeps it hydrated and plumped. My coarse, thick, curly hair loves it! And it also cured a skin fungus I had. Great to eat if you have gastritis. Aloe is a wonderful plant.
I have a small Aloe Vera as a little house plant. It said on it that it wasn’t fit for human consumption but I’m guessing I could still use it for skincare in a pinch lol I tend to have a bottle of Aloe Vera gel (like 99%+ purity) at home at all times though in case of sunburns or other skin issues. In 2006 when I got really severely sunburnt (probably areas of 2nd degree burns even) I used Aloe Vera gel to protect and soothe my skin while it healed, and it helped a lot! I did make an appointment with my local clinic at the time but they didn’t really do anything as they didn’t see me continuously and hence missed when I looked the worst, so I just stuck with the Aloe Vera to heal up again and it worked really well, unless you know how badly burnt I was that time, you can’t really tell by just looking at the areas of skin today. I just have a bit of more freckles on the affected areas and some areas have a visual textural change but it’s all getting better over time too as the years go by. Oh, and if you have issues with cold sores, applying some Aloe Vera gel and letting the gel dry on it, is more effective than any of the designated, over priced cold sore remedies that you can get, along with it being natural so feels less disgusting should you accidentally get it in your mouth. I’m not a huge fan of eating Aloe Vera, but sometimes I can buy a drink that has tiny pieces of the Aloe Vera in it and that can be really tasty, but things like Aloe Vera juice from some health store is no bueno taste wise...
I’m salivating. Aloe Vera, sugar cane and blackstrap molasses are my top 3 for sources of iron as I have favism. The gel helps my skin from burns for Lupus. My plant died during the freeze here in Texas unfortunately. It looked similar after growing it 6 years. Hopefully I can replace soon. I find it sooo tasty.
I’ve blended aloe and used it as a hair mask. It works WONDERS! I let it sit for about half an hour, then washed it out with normal shampoo and conditioner. It made my hair so soft!
I used aloe vera gel from a leaf of a plant I was growing on some deep cuts on my palms that I got when I fell onto sharp gravel. The cuts stopped hurting immediately and healed completely without any scarring.
This just reminds me of this bottled water you can get here in the uk. You can get the normal spring water or the flavoured which is strawberry, but they both have chunks of Aloe in them. It tasted really nice with the strawberry flavour. Almost took ok the flavour in a way
Are these large leaves the same type as the small ones and they just got bigger because they were grown a different way, or are they actually a different type? I've only ever seen the small ones. I didn't know they could get so huge. I've always had tons of small aloe plants growing in pots, and growing up, my family always used them to treat burns of all kinds. It's especially nice if you put it in the refrigerator to chill it first, if you're going to use it for that. I didn't know people ate it until only a few years ago.
My mother plants aloe veras at her yard and I remember as a kid I fell and scraped my knee, so she plucked out a small leaf and scrubbed the gel on my wound after running it under running water. It felt good and the wound healed up pretty fast with little scabbing.
Oh my, how I would love to try one of these out in raw, natural form! I love Aloe! We have Aloe Vera drinks here with little chunks of gel floating in the juice, and I personally adore them. That is the closest I've ever came to trying it out. And for summer I have an Aloe Vera gel bottle sitting in my fridge, I can attest it's very good for burnt skin, soothing and cooling. I would love to make myself a face mask with pure gel.
I keep aloe plant for wounds and burns. Have saved many people from spending time in ER from burns. Never eaten it though. Can give ppl the runs... never realized stinks like arm pits lol. I am allergic to latex so will be careful if I ever need it. Did not realize has latex properties!! Thank you
We love aloe in our house! We usually cut the aloe into big chunks after removing the peel. Then boil the aloe for about 5-7 minutes in boiling water, remove and put into a jar. Add honey and refrigerate. Consume the next day. Usually this removes the slime and pungent taste and it will be just like the store bought aloe!
we used to have an aloe plant! we used the gel inside to help keep my dog comfortable as possible when she got very old and started having health issues. usually she hated when we checked on her mouth, but when it was to rub aloe on her sore gums, she was suddenly very cooperative, lol
We used these fresh plants to soothe our sunburns after swimming for hours. That and cold, wet black tea bags work great. Aloe works a built better than tea though. You could use aloe based gel but fresh is best. They look like ice cubes in the yogurt.
Emmy is my spirit person... if ever there was such a thing. There’s just something with her that makes me think that if we were to ever meet, we’d be instant BFFs. The vibe she gives off is so contagious. I love her little reactions that’s similar to a child who easily gets happy at little things. So happy to discover this channel (I’ve only been watching her videos for a few months now)
Omg I was just searching through your videos last week to see if you did a video on aloe Vera because I bought one to try as well! I’ll have to try your yoghurt and maple syrup dessert.
You should get one of these plants! They grow themselves others from the same plant (don't know the technical term); a friend gave me one and not only it's huge now but many others have grown out of the main one. And they give amazing flowers!
I used to keep a bottle of aloe gel in the fridge for sunburns. Feels great once you get past the 1st shock of cold on sunburned skin. After that its very soothing and cooling.
My mother would always grow aloe in her garden in Southern California and when I would get a wound she would break a small piece off and apply it to my wound. It would heal up so quickly! Very good for healing wounds;)
This was sooooo satisfying to watch!!! There’s just something about a gelatinous substance that really brings me joy lol! What’s that smell??” 👃🏻🪴🌵👃🏻🌵🪴👃🏻🌵🪴👃🏻🌵🪴
Yes, it's quite good for sunburns and minor burns in general. My grandmother keeps an aloe vera plant for just that purpose. I've never noticed the smell though, it may well be plant size or maturity dependent: my grandmothers plants were about the size of a finger and not much longer than one. I'll wager the smell is caused by butyric acid which has sort of a B.O. or a rancid butter smell fwiw.
I grow Aloe plants and use the leaves for sunburns all the time.I also drink it in a drink made by OKF its amazing you drink it and it has little pieces in it.....
I have a garden and a few containers full of them! They are so darn useful. But I've honestly only used it straight from the plant since i was younger, and very sunburnt (right when we first moved here to the Florida Keys!) but beware using and getting the juices on your clothes. It'll turn brown/red and it stains and stinks🪴✌💚
I live in Jamaica where it’s multipurposed. You can use it in your hair for cleanse and strength. You can use it on your skin as it helps with sun burn. You can eat it raw as well use it in your smoothies.
I never tire of the fruity fruit song on Emmy's videos. We had aloe growing outside always. It's like a must have for any household. Nothing better for any sort of burn. And you don't have to mess with it at all. Just be sure it's not in a place that gets tons of water or too much shade and you'll have one plant then after a couple years a forest of it.
OMG, you describing the smell of aloe as like BO really made my day 🤣 My brother went through a phase of drinking something that was made with aloe and I always said it smelled like BO, he looked at me like I was insane lol.
Love Aloe Vera! I’d no clue it had natural latex, until I put aloe straight from the plant on my face and felt SUPER itchy, and then broke out in splotches - as long as I rinse the aloin, I don’t get itchy. Turns out, I also react mildly to other things with latex, like bandaids too. Thinking I may have a slight latex allergy.
I often suffer from indigestion and aloe vera water is an excellent way to soothe it. You can also get it in capsule form and it can help tremendously!
Oh I love aloe! In my country, we often find aloe sold in small chunks soaked in thin fragrant sweet syrup. Its so cool and refreshing! Maybe you can soaked it in sugar syrup first Emmy.. Thank you for always delivering great contents :)
Emz babe I totally have this growing in my backyard... and I live in the coldest states of Australia!! I didn’t even know this wasn’t a thing in the states! Great for sunburn & yummm in a drink!
my favorite way to have aloe is in drinks.. i usually buy premade stuff but the basic concept is just, you get a glass of grape juice or pineapple juice or mango juice and add a bunch of aloe cubes. its a little like bubble tea, but as a fruit juice that you can keep in your fridge?? my favorite one is the pineapple!!! SUPER refreshing on a hot day, and very hydrating after a work out, too!
Fascinating. All my life I have been aware of & used alone, even drunk I the juice & never known that if you just remove the slime, you have lovely benign flavored soft textured delicious soluble fiber.
What my grandma used to do was she would squeeze the aloe vera out into a jar and add rubbing alcohol and use that to treat aches and pains. There's probably a few more things in there but that's what I remember
As someone who grew up with a lot of aloe, it's great for your hair, skin, sunburns, also if you get a really bad burn the best thing to do is to slice the aloe down the middle (so you have two halves, and remove the spines) then put in a Ziploc bag in the freezer and save it for when you need it
I've only ever eaten aloe vera in smoothies/the sweetened aloe vera juice drink. BUT, I grew up with my grandma putting it on cuts/burns/rashes. She always kept an aloe vera plant growing for YEARS for that very reason. I guess I wasn't aware that it isn't a common household thing until now. Thanks for sharing your experience! :)
My poor big aloe plant died in the Texas snow storm. I’m so so sad. However, I’m getting some new pups from it. Those are the babies that come from it. Yay!
My parents always had aloe plants on the porch next to other potted plants. Whenever we got a sun burn, we'd take one spine off and use it, so I am very familiar with that aloe smell. We ate aloe, although, as an adult I learned that people do eat it or blend it up and drunk it, but I couldn't imagine doing that (knowing how it smells). Not sure if I will ever try eating it this way, but I could imagine adding precut aloe to a smoothie. What fun watching Emmy cut aloe open for the first time, though. :)
I love Aloe Vera. In my house is a must to have Aloe plants because is so healthy, it helps me a lot with my dermatitis and I love to eat it with yoghurt too!
Emmy is one of those people who became a functioning adult but never lost their child-like whimsy. She’s so delightful to watch.

Yes its soo good for emergency break outs. Your acne heals soo fast and soothes your skin. It's indeed a magical plant.

I did make an appointment with my local clinic at the time but they didn’t really do anything as they didn’t see me continuously and hence missed when I looked the worst, so I just stuck with the Aloe Vera to heal up again and it worked really well, unless you know how badly burnt I was that time, you can’t really tell by just looking at the areas of skin today. I just have a bit of more freckles on the affected areas and some areas have a visual textural change but it’s all getting better over time too as the years go by.
Oh, and if you have issues with cold sores, applying some Aloe Vera gel and letting the gel dry on it, is more effective than any of the designated, over priced cold sore remedies that you can get, along with it being natural so feels less disgusting should you accidentally get it in your mouth.
I’m not a huge fan of eating Aloe Vera, but sometimes I can buy a drink that has tiny pieces of the Aloe Vera in it and that can be really tasty, but things like Aloe Vera juice from some health store is no bueno taste wise...
I think it’s so nice to hear you explain and talk about things! you put things really nicely
Who knew that aloe cutting would be so satisfying to watch.
I’m salivating. Aloe Vera, sugar cane and blackstrap molasses are my top 3 for sources of iron as I have favism. The gel helps my skin from burns for Lupus. My plant died during the freeze here in Texas unfortunately. It looked similar after growing it 6 years. Hopefully I can replace soon. I find it sooo tasty.
Yes! I’ve been missing Fruity Fruits so much!
I've been so excited for another fruity fruits video!!
I’ve blended aloe and used it as a hair mask. It works WONDERS! I let it sit for about half an hour, then washed it out with normal shampoo and conditioner. It made my hair so soft!
I used aloe vera gel from a leaf of a plant I was growing on some deep cuts on my palms that I got when I fell onto sharp gravel. The cuts stopped hurting immediately and healed completely without any scarring.
This just reminds me of this bottled water you can get here in the uk. You can get the normal spring water or the flavoured which is strawberry, but they both have chunks of Aloe in them. It tasted really nice with the strawberry flavour. Almost took ok the flavour in a way
The armenian market next to my house sells aloe juice and its sooo good. I love the little bits of aloe pulp in it :)
My advice is to read the nutrition facts, that stuff is loaded with sugar.
Are these large leaves the same type as the small ones and they just got bigger because they were grown a different way, or are they actually a different type? I've only ever seen the small ones. I didn't know they could get so huge. I've always had tons of small aloe plants growing in pots, and growing up, my family always used them to treat burns of all kinds. It's especially nice if you put it in the refrigerator to chill it first, if you're going to use it for that. I didn't know people ate it until only a few years ago.
I visit the Syracuse area of New York a lot and they have a style of pizza called Utica pie I think it’s something you should try to make :)
My mother plants aloe veras at her yard and I remember as a kid I fell and scraped my knee, so she plucked out a small leaf and scrubbed the gel on my wound after running it under running water. It felt good and the wound healed up pretty fast with little scabbing.
Oh my, how I would love to try one of these out in raw, natural form! I love Aloe! We have Aloe Vera drinks here with little chunks of gel floating in the juice, and I personally adore them. That is the closest I've ever came to trying it out. And for summer I have an Aloe Vera gel bottle sitting in my fridge, I can attest it's very good for burnt skin, soothing and cooling. I would love to make myself a face mask with pure gel.
I keep aloe plant for wounds and burns. Have saved many people from spending time in ER from burns. Never eaten it though. Can give ppl the runs... never realized stinks like arm pits lol. I am allergic to latex so will be careful if I ever need it. Did not realize has latex properties!! Thank you
We love aloe in our house! We usually cut the aloe into big chunks after removing the peel. Then boil the aloe for about 5-7 minutes in boiling water, remove and put into a jar. Add honey and refrigerate. Consume the next day. Usually this removes the slime and pungent taste and it will be just like the store bought aloe!
OMG A FRUITY FRUITS EPISODE! It's been a while hahaha
we used to have an aloe plant! we used the gel inside to help keep my dog comfortable as possible when she got very old and started having health issues. usually she hated when we checked on her mouth, but when it was to rub aloe on her sore gums, she was suddenly very cooperative, lol
Yes I love aloe vera for healing burns or tattoos & helping constipation. . there is a mango aloe drink thats soo good
We used these fresh plants to soothe our sunburns after swimming for hours.
That and cold, wet black tea bags work great.
Aloe works a built better than tea though.
You could use aloe based gel but fresh is best.
They look like ice cubes in the yogurt.
Emmy is my spirit person... if ever there was such a thing. There’s just something with her that makes me think that if we were to ever meet, we’d be instant BFFs.
The vibe she gives off is so contagious. I love her little reactions that’s similar to a child who easily gets happy at little things. So happy to discover this channel (I’ve only been watching her videos for a few months now)
Omg I was just searching through your videos last week to see if you did a video on aloe Vera because I bought one to try as well! I’ll have to try your yoghurt and maple syrup dessert.
I've been using this stuff. I peel it and use a potato masher to make it into gel as best I can, then mix it with honey.
Really great for the skin...
You should get one of these plants! They grow themselves others from the same plant (don't know the technical term); a friend gave me one and not only it's huge now but many others have grown out of the main one. And they give amazing flowers!
I used to keep a bottle of aloe gel in the fridge for sunburns. Feels great once you get past the 1st shock of cold on sunburned skin. After that its very soothing and cooling.
My mother would always grow aloe in her garden in Southern California and when I would get a wound she would break a small piece off and apply it to my wound. It would heal up so quickly! Very good for healing wounds;)
This was sooooo satisfying to watch!!! There’s just something about a gelatinous substance that really brings me joy lol!
What’s that smell??”
👃🏻🪴🌵👃🏻🌵🪴👃🏻🌵🪴👃🏻🌵🪴
I was just binge watching Emmys videos and am so HYPED ABOUT THIS ONE
You can also puree it and freeze it into ice cubes and use that on sunburns!
Emmy is such a comfort in a nonstop noisy life.
I had so much joy when the fruity-fruit song played!
Yes, it's quite good for sunburns and minor burns in general. My grandmother keeps an aloe vera plant for just that purpose. I've never noticed the smell though, it may well be plant size or maturity dependent: my grandmothers plants were about the size of a finger and not much longer than one. I'll wager the smell is caused by butyric acid which has sort of a B.O. or a rancid butter smell fwiw.
I grow Aloe plants and use the leaves for sunburns all the time.I also drink it in a drink made by OKF its amazing you drink it and it has little pieces in it.....
I haven’t watched the video yet but I know it going to be amazing! I love it when Emmy posts ☺️💗
I have a garden and a few containers full of them! They are so darn useful. But I've honestly only used it straight from the plant since i was younger, and very sunburnt (right when we first moved here to the Florida Keys!) but beware using and getting the juices on your clothes. It'll turn brown/red and it stains and stinks🪴✌💚
I live in Jamaica where it’s multipurposed. You can use it in your hair for cleanse and strength. You can use it on your skin as it helps with sun burn. You can eat it raw as well use it in your smoothies.
I never tire of the fruity fruit song on Emmy's videos. We had aloe growing outside always. It's like a must have for any household. Nothing better for any sort of burn. And you don't have to mess with it at all. Just be sure it's not in a place that gets tons of water or too much shade and you'll have one plant then after a couple years a forest of it.
Emmy, who is blessed with no BO of her own (as she's #humble-bragged a couple times now 😄), finds so much delight in aloe BO 😂😂😂
OMG, you describing the smell of aloe as like BO really made my day 🤣
My brother went through a phase of drinking something that was made with aloe and I always said it smelled like BO, he looked at me like I was insane lol.
Love Aloe Vera! I’d no clue it had natural latex, until I put aloe straight from the plant on my face and felt SUPER itchy, and then broke out in splotches - as long as I rinse the aloin, I don’t get itchy. Turns out, I also react mildly to other things with latex, like bandaids too. Thinking I may have a slight latex allergy.
My mother used to have a bunch of aloe plants when I was a kid. When someone got a sunburn she'd skin it and slide it around the burn.
I love learning about awesome things through your videos TY
Aloe drinks are my favorite!! It’s so refreshing especially during the summer.
I drink aloe juice all the time for acid reflux and it definitely tastes like grape juice. Love that stuff
When I was growing up my mom had an aloe plant in the kitchen and we used it for small cuts and burns.
I often suffer from indigestion and aloe vera water is an excellent way to soothe it. You can also get it in capsule form and it can help tremendously!
Oh I love aloe! In my country, we often find aloe sold in small chunks soaked in thin fragrant sweet syrup. Its so cool and refreshing! Maybe you can soaked it in sugar syrup first Emmy.. Thank you for always delivering great contents :)
Emz babe I totally have this growing in my backyard... and I live in the coldest states of Australia!!
I didn’t even know this wasn’t a thing in the states!
Great for sunburn & yummm in a drink!
To quote one of my favorite movies
"Slimy, yet satisfying"
Fresh alo is amazing for any type of burn
I've never seen anyone get so excited about the smell of B O ☺️ Luv yu x
my favorite way to have aloe is in drinks.. i usually buy premade stuff but the basic concept is just, you get a glass of grape juice or pineapple juice or mango juice and add a bunch of aloe cubes. its a little like bubble tea, but as a fruit juice that you can keep in your fridge?? my favorite one is the pineapple!!! SUPER refreshing on a hot day, and very hydrating after a work out, too!
Fascinating. All my life I have been aware of & used alone, even drunk I the juice & never known that if you just remove the slime, you have lovely benign flavored soft textured delicious soluble fiber.
What my grandma used to do was she would squeeze the aloe vera out into a jar and add rubbing alcohol and use that to treat aches and pains. There's probably a few more things in there but that's what I remember
As someone who grew up with a lot of aloe, it's great for your hair, skin, sunburns, also if you get a really bad burn the best thing to do is to slice the aloe down the middle (so you have two halves, and remove the spines) then put in a Ziploc bag in the freezer and save it for when you need it
I've only ever eaten aloe vera in smoothies/the sweetened aloe vera juice drink. BUT, I grew up with my grandma putting it on cuts/burns/rashes. She always kept an aloe vera plant growing for YEARS for that very reason. I guess I wasn't aware that it isn't a common household thing until now. Thanks for sharing your experience! :)
My poor big aloe plant died in the Texas snow storm. I’m so so sad. However, I’m getting some new pups from it. Those are the babies that come from it. Yay!
I do not want a repeat of that...🤦🏼♀️
@@kimclark6696 ~ Me either! It was terrible!
It is the best for burns of all kinds. just slice it and squeeze out the "gel" and smooth it on the burn. No blisters and quicker healing.
My parents always had aloe plants on the porch next to other potted plants. Whenever we got a sun burn, we'd take one spine off and use it, so I am very familiar with that aloe smell. We ate aloe, although, as an adult I learned that people do eat it or blend it up and drunk it, but I couldn't imagine doing that (knowing how it smells). Not sure if I will ever try eating it this way, but I could imagine adding precut aloe to a smoothie. What fun watching Emmy cut aloe open for the first time, though. :)
I have bad eczema at times and we use fresh aloe on it. just cut and rub against the sore. It helps dry and soothe it
That watercolor class sounds really cute
Okay, now I know why I loathed the aloe I tried. I didn't know about the yellow slime! Thanks, Emmy. I learn so much from you.
I love Aloe Vera. In my house is a must to have Aloe plants because is so healthy, it helps me a lot with my dermatitis and I love to eat it with yoghurt too!
