Aloe vera gel has many health benefits. The natural gel contains healing, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. Here is a simple recipe to make your own moisturizing and healing aloe gel.
Aloe vera gel can be a powerful anti-aging moisturizer and also heals burns, ezcema, sunburn, insect bites and stretch marks. It is also an effective acne treatment and can treat gum disease. Aloe gel makes a soothing and calming hair conditioner – especially useful on tight curly hair.
Gel can be used directly from squeezing the plant but here is a simple recipe to make aloe vera gel which has the advantage that it can be made, bottled and used when you wish.
It is easy to grow your own aloe vera plant, climate and space permitting, although oriental grocery store and health food stores also sell the leaves.
INGREDIENTS
* 1/4-cup of aloe vera pulp
(six leaves from 4″ to 6″ should provide more than a 1/4 cup of pulp)
* 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
* 4 drops of essential lemongrass oil
* 6 drops of tea tree oil
METHOD
1. Firstly cut the leaves from the plant, try to pick the leaves that are nearest the bottom of the plant so it can continue thriving. Leave upright standing in a bowl at a 45 degree angle for at least an hour. This allows an initial yellow or brown substance to drain out. This initial sap smells unpleasant and can be an irritant.
2. After the yellowy resin has drained, wash the leaves. Use a potato peeler to cut off the thorns on both sides and peel one side with the peeler. Then use a knife to scrape off the gel from the leaf. If you have really long and thick aloe vera leaves then you can cut them into more manageable pieces to make peeling easier. Depending n your knife skills you may prefer to scoop the gel our with a spoon – although this can be messy.
3. Pop your gel into a blender and blend until it looks slightly fluffy. At this stage you can actually leave the aloe to settle slightly if you prefer. Then add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into a clean jar.
Note:If you plan to use this as a hair conditioning treatment you should strain the mixture through a new stocking to avoid getting any tiny pieces of pulp residue sticking in your hair.
The lemongrass oil is optional, you may have your favorite essential oil you can add for fragrance. Tea tree oil acts as a preservative as well as having strong antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties.
This mixture should last for a couple of months.
Use liberally for a fantastic skin conditioning moisturizer.
If you specifically want to use it to treat sunburn, try freezing in an ice cube tray for an instant soothing and healing treatment.
Another healthy hint is at stage 2 you can simply mix some of the gel with some water to make a super healthy juice, adding organic raw honey to sweeten if necessary.
