But that’s not aloe’s only superpower. “Aloe is an unassuming plant,” says registered dietitian Beth Czerwony, RD, LD. “It doesn’t really look like it’s all that special. But it can actually provide a lot of benefits.” But scientific studies on the benefits of aloe vera are mixed. Because aloe contains so many different properties, it’s hard to focus on each one specifically. Plus, every study published on aloe uses its own unique form of the plant (there are 420 species of aloe!), making it difficult for scientists to accurately compare the effects of aloe vera among the ever-growing body of research. A. Fresh aloe vera sap, a yellowish juice that surrounds the gel inside the leaves, can have a pungent odor somewhat reminiscent of onions or sweat, but the gel itself is nearly odorless. It’s best to choose an aloe vera gel without unnecessary fragrance, although some products formulated with essential oils may smell like that oil. Q. Can I use aloe vera gel on my pets? To use a fresh aloe leaf from a plant, first cut off one of the outer leaves from the base of the plant. Using a small spoon, scoop it into your blender.

What is aloe vera juice? Aloe vera gel taken by mouth seems to help lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. It may also help to lower cholesterol. The results of aloe vera studies for other medical conditions have been less clear.

Aloe vera juice is a rich source of antioxidants, which help fight free radicals. This lowers oxidative stress on your body and reduces the risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Czerwony says aloe vera juice is safe to drink every day. But drinking too much of it can cause cramping or diarrhea. This in turn can bring on an electrolyte imbalance. “If you have some of those gastrointestinal symptoms, you should probably drink aloe vera juice every other day, or every third day,” she says.

With its natural antibacterial, moisturizing, and soothing properties, aloe vera gel is loaded with health and beauty benefits. Make sure you remove all traces of the skin from the plant. The skin adds a bitter, unpleasant flavor. You can rinse the gel under running water to help remove all traces of it. But besides treating sunburn, aloe vera is a useful ingredient in terms of general hydration and nourishment. The plant gel itself is full of vitamins, enzymes, minerals, salicylic acids, and amino acids, making it great for every skin type. However, adding one or both of the vitamins significantly increases the shelf life to up to 2 months in the refrigerator.
