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 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
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
Thats interesting, I have this weird rule of thumb that the more bitter something is the better it is for you haha but thats probably just a strange misconception
IF YOU SOAK THE GEL IN WATER IT TAKES THE BITTER AWAY . THE BITTER IS A YELLOW LOOKING CHEMICAL IN THE ALOE; THEY SAY ITS GOOD FOR LAXATIVE. SOAKING TAKES THE CHEMICAL OFF ALOT. :)
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 :)
I have used it for burns, dog wounds, acne, hair gel. Also mix 50/50 with Now shea butter or argan oil for face or eye cream. Thank You Creator for making Aloe Vera
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.
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 am not sure about poisonous aloe plants - but i do know that consuming the whole leaf instead of just the gel can sometimes irritate peoples digestive system and causes a laxative effect. The worst thing i think is people confusing aloe for other succulents because they can look kind of similar XX
Serafina ♡ There are only 5 varieties of aloe that can be taken inside. While there are over 200 species. Also extremely important not to use anything but the gel - because it has aloin.
Serafina ♡ its not nessarily the size. If the leaf is concave then it will taste more bitter, so its more suitable for tropical use. If the leaf is convex it will be less bitter.
Do the aloe in your yard have white spots? The ones that are just plane gren leaves are aloe. However, before eating it you might want to look it up online or ask someone.
Thanks for all of this info! I wouldn't recommend adding sugar as an exfoliant though. Sugar granules are square shaped/ not round which means its sharp corners can cause micro tears in the skin. I'd recommend maybe adding an exfoliant that has circular shaped granules. That way you can have a nice exfoliant that doesn't tear the skin!
For some reason I have never noticed the smell, but the one thing for me that i dont like is when i apply it to my face and lick my lips later without noticing and freak out because of the bitter taste haha! Its definitely a great healer
great video . i have like 20 aloe plants and i tend to use them because i have 2 cats that like to play with there little claws so they get thete use out witch is fine
@audrey h it tastes good right after soaking? I’ve been harvesting and consuming aloe vera for a year now, but after soaking it, it never tastes good, it just tastes like nothing until you eat/drink/prepare it with something.
I use aloe Vera for soothing cut and graze pains and I also use it after shaving my legs to help reduce ingrown hairs! I never new you could eat the stuff thought! I'm going to try it out soon. Thanks💗
On some other video the man's clearly warned us to soak the aloe Vera leaves plants in water for some time until a yellow type color shows. He says that it is irritant that should not be indigested. You didn't mention anything about that additional cleansing procedure your after cutting the gel off the leave to use for topical use or ingestion. I use the gel straight from the leave to rebound skin your rotations like you mentioned different parts of my body and never see anything negative happen. I've never really taken any orally. Usually when I look at a topic or discussion I'd like to get 3 different views from 3 different people with different backgrounds. Thanks for your contribution😊
I love your channel you look so passionate by what you're saying and for me this video was very useful I bought an aloe vera plant 2 month ago and there's only 9 leaves ^^ I didn't know how to do with it but now I know
Love your video. The reason it is bitter may be because the yellow liquid is not being drained from the fresh plant, before cutting up. This yellow substance may be used as a laxative.
Hey Ela, If I have just organic Aloe gel that is not straight from the plant, would that work just as well folr a body srub if I place it all in a small bowl??? Thank you Emily
I love you soooooo much! 😘 thanks a bunch for this video! I am currently using aloe vera for my acne. let's see how it does. and now I will try your remedy to add it to my drink💓 can't thank you enough for this tips and videos
Thanks for this video, I'll defiantly try out some of the things you talked about with the new aloe vera I received today! I did want to mention that, although aloe has a ton of vitamins and minerals, the level of vitamin B12 content in aloe is debated. Some sites say yes, lots of it, and others say no, none. Still others say there is some... Do you have a reference you trust for vitamin content that I could check out?
I used an aloe Vera plant on a horrible burn I got that hurt so much without constantly running it under cold water or having a cold compress on it, I cut open an aloe leaf and taped it to my burn and slept like that. Was the only thing that stopped it from hurting a ton and by the time I woke up, my burn was practically healed. It wasn't 100% cuz it was still sensitive to heat but I did not get a scar and I am forever a fan of aloe Vera plants ❤️
My dad uses it for cuts and you can eat it to only the clear stuf not the slime my cousin puts it on at night and it makes your skin so soft and it helps it to
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
Question. Do you make your own makeup and such? I've seen some of your makeup DIYs and they're really cool but do you do that for all your makeup? Is it cheaper? I'm always looking for cheaper, more natural tips and ideas. I love makeup but, being a teen, I don't have much money to buy it and I don't really like asking people for it. I'm not sure you'll answer but thank you anyway! Love the video.
Hey love! I am obsessed with making my own makeup - and yes its waaay cheaper, but the problem can be buying the initial ingredients (which once you have you can make over and over), and as +CleanEcoStyle said its harder to make them all (for instance liquid foundation i havnt yet done but i am going to play around and figure that out, if i do i will share it will you!). I use my homemade powders and blush etc in summer, but in winter i often use bought natural/ cruelty free cosmetics that have a little more coverage. The 'organic wear' line by physicians formula is pretty good :)
***** Awesome! It's really great how you make your own products, I hope you succeed with future ones. And I'll have to take a look at "organic wear". Thank you so much!
I have that same bowl haha 😂 I really like your videos! You are really the best beauty youtuber that I've seen around youtube! Love u ❤️ (Sorry for my really bad English)
Hi Ela! I really like your videos, and I look forward to studying and learning more about my baby aloe vera plant that I bought a few months ago. It looks very green and healthy. It is currently about one third the size of the aloe you showed and used for your demonstrations (your aloe looks so lush and healthy, I want one like that!!), and it is a baby (I'm not sure how old it is, it is probably half a year old or something). I've heard that it is too young to use yet, but when will I know if it is old enough for me to use it and get all the benefits? I love aloe vera, and I'm thinking of getting another one in the future. It's the first succulent plant that is thriving in my care! Great thanks for you video! It was very educational! I think it might take a very, very long time before it will be as grand and big as yours! (like a few years) Thanks, Grace
I’ve heard it has poisons you need to rinse off before using. I’ve never tried it raw but now I’m not afraid to as you seem alive and very knowledgeable
I use aloe vera for my face and body but the most amazing thing that I've just started using for cracked heels is, very old fashioned vasaline, in the pot/tub. I smear it on most mornings before I go to the gym, put my socks on and I've used it for less than two weeks, my heals are looking fantastic. I'm in my late 50's and I know as we get older the cracked heels gets worse, I've used many products spesifically for heels, they work just a little to make you go back and buy more but it was my husband who tried it first and omg amazing results. His heels were quite bad, I've even used a pumice stone on him to try and help. Don't know whey he tried it on his heels but the results start happening after a few days. I will always do this every day after my shower. Love the vid but wanted to share this with you all. Just try it.
Thanks love! I really like dark lips, but i think i ate something just before filming this and should have re-applied my lippy (it looks a bit worn off or something) XX
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!
And with dandruff! Thanks for sharing that hun
***** do you do it as a daily thing or once a month??
Amani Perrin I'd do it as often as you can. With my practice and experience I learned natural needs repetition patience and consistency.
Amani Perrin I am two days once
Lmaginary Kiwi Where can i get this from?
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!!

Gymnast Fun same😂

Gymnast Fun yesss
Really? I was always told to ask it nicely before taking a piece 🤷🏾. The more you know ig
Are you serous?! It doesn't have feelings!
Aloe vera is so useful and it naturally cleanses, moisturizes, and smoothes skin
at this farmers market near me they sell huge aloe vera leaves for 1 dollar!
Cool ,you should problaby just buy a plant if you don't already have one there are so many uses
I live in England so have to pay up to £5 for one leaf.
CYD BlackBrit i bought a plant from ikea today for £2
I'm gonna convince my gma to but an alo vera plant with all the usefull helpfull videos I find
Here in Bangladesh you can get them for 30 cents lol
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 :)
Definitely wanna go buy the plant now. I had no idea they were so useful. Thanks for the great tips! Love your videos!
Thank you! I am so glad you found it useful love :) XX
+Ela Gale ♡ hey would aloe Vera take acne off over night
Wow did not know you could digest this stuff!! Love this stuff
I have used it for burns, dog wounds, acne, hair gel. Also mix 50/50 with Now shea butter or argan oil for face or eye cream. Thank You Creator for making Aloe Vera
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.
Thank you !
I really love using aloe vera as well!I will probably try these out! Love your channel😘😘

I made a Rosemary leave in spray, would you recommend putting aloe in it or leave it as is and use the aloe alone?
Thanks for all of this info! I wouldn't recommend adding sugar as an exfoliant though. Sugar granules are square shaped/ not round which means its sharp corners can cause micro tears in the skin. I'd recommend maybe adding an exfoliant that has circular shaped granules. That way you can have a nice exfoliant that doesn't tear the skin!
Also sugar can exacerbate acne by feeding bacteria. I use baking soda as it’s PH balanced.
I’ve used coffee grounds before. Not sure if that’s Ok or not. 😁
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.
For some reason I have never noticed the smell, but the one thing for me that i dont like is when i apply it to my face and lick my lips later without noticing and freak out because of the bitter taste haha! Its definitely a great healer
i just started using today. thanks for the tips!
great video . i have like 20 aloe plants and i tend to use them because i have 2 cats that like to play with there little claws so they get thete use out witch is fine
WOW! That was very informative, thanks for sharing.
I like to use aloe vera for my acne. It works really well👏
Veronica Garcia where can I get it from?
Chiamaka Ndndjjdjr Idk where you live but I got my plant at home depot for 5$
woow i just got my two aloe vera and they re doing great. thanks for sharing
a variety of giant aloe grows here in Cambodia - half a kilo each - I eat it like a steak - haven't eaten meat in 30 years
Really? How do you prepare it?
How?? Its so bitter! I heard bitter things are good for us but aloe is hard for me.
@@GodLOVES_you1437 if you soak it in water first the yellow gunk will be extracted and it'll taste good
@audrey h it tastes good right after soaking? I’ve been harvesting and consuming aloe vera for a year now, but after soaking it, it never tastes good, it just tastes like nothing until you eat/drink/prepare it with something.
@@spugbgobparewants if you soak it It will lose all the minerals and vitamins
hi that sounds so interesting and so good I will try cause I always like trying out new things

Thank you! xoxo

Loved the video!!!! So informative.
Hi Ela!
I really like your videos, and I look forward to studying and learning more about my baby aloe vera plant that I bought a few months ago. It looks very green and healthy. It is currently about one third the size of the aloe you showed and used for your demonstrations (your aloe looks so lush and healthy, I want one like that!!), and it is a baby (I'm not sure how old it is, it is probably half a year old or something).

I love aloe vera, and I'm thinking of getting another one in the future. It's the first succulent plant that is thriving in my care! Great thanks for you video! It was very educational!
I think it might take a very, very long time before it will be as grand and big as yours! (like a few years)
Thanks,
Grace
good information will take on board..thanks
how often do you use it on your skin and hair? once, twice a week? a month?
This was great! I'm glad I watched this video.

Thank you so much for the tips! I'll try them when I'll get my own aloe vera pot! I love this plant!
Another fabulous video
Thanks love!
***** Awesome video it's really helpful tips. :)
I love all of these ideas I think I'm going to go buy my own plant :)
do it! :D
Hi Ela, I found u topics very interesting. I will try some of ur remedies.
Do u hv one for hair loss?
I’ve heard it has poisons you need to rinse off before using. I’ve never tried it raw but now I’m not afraid to as you seem alive and very knowledgeable
I will start using it now
Very useful, new thing to learn & Go green :)
I use aloe vera for my face and body but the most amazing thing that I've just started using for cracked heels is, very old fashioned vasaline, in the pot/tub. I smear it on most mornings before I go to the gym, put my socks on and I've used it for less than two weeks, my heals are looking fantastic. I'm in my late 50's and I know as we get older the cracked heels gets worse, I've used many products spesifically for heels, they work just a little to make you go back and buy more but it was my husband who tried it first and omg amazing results. His heels were quite bad, I've even used a pumice stone on him to try and help. Don't know whey he tried it on his heels but the results start happening after a few days. I will always do this every day after my shower. Love the vid but wanted to share this with you all. Just try it.
Rabbit Hole where can I get it from?
Keep shining and posting more videos! You are a babe xx
How do you get your aloe plant to grow so well with many leafs
Great video 👍🏾 very informative
Can I slice bit by bit as I need it ? Or will the whole leaf go bad ?
brilliant - just what I was looking for. Thank you!
Who would have thought skincare could be so easy!
Hello, great video but I have one question is aloe vera cold resistant?
you suit darker lipsticks so much! you should definitely wear them more often :) x
Thanks love! I really like dark lips, but i think i ate something just before filming this and should have re-applied my lippy (it looks a bit worn off or something) XX
