Today we will talk about the use of Aloe at home. A pot with this wonderful plant flaunts on the windowsill in almost every apartment. Many people know that Aloe is “useful”, but what exactly? I will give you specific recommendations to help make Aloe your "family doctor".

Aloe - what is it?

Remember: not every variety of this plant can be beneficial. Only four types of Aloe out of two hundred existing have healing properties. The most famous is Aloe Vera or Aloe Barbadensis/Aloe Linne. Aloe arborescens (Aloe arboréscens) has long been used in Rus'.
The plant has nothing to do with cacti! Aloe belongs to the lily family (it also includes onions, asparagus and garlic).

Medicines are made from Aloe, which can be bought at a pharmacy without any problems. They are inexpensive and widely known. Aloe intramuscular injections are a time-tested excellent biostimulant.

How to prepare healing aloe juice

If you urgently need a “home doctor” (i.e. Aloe), you just need to break off the more “fleshy” leaf of the plant and squeeze out the juice.
Ideally, for juicing, you need to choose the lower or middle leaves of Aloe with a length of more than 15 cm, since there are much more useful substances in them. We wash the leaves torn off by hands (!) under running water, dry them and put them in the refrigerator for a week. Then we sort out the leaves, remove the blackened areas, squeeze out the juice. Ready juice should be stored in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator.

Attention: the plant must be older than three years! Before collecting leaves, it is recommended not to water Aloe for a week. A slightly dried tip at the top of the leaf of the plant indicates that the concentration of nutrients in it is maximum.

Let's talk about the healing properties of this miracle - the plants that helped him win such popular love.

It needs to be heated, but not brought to a boil! Insist for a day. After that, heat the solution again, strain and take in the morning 5-10 g one hour before meals.
While drinking Aloe juice, a considerable amount of useful substances enter the body, helping to cleanse the body in just a couple of doses.

Before you break off the first leaf that comes across from any plant, take a closer look. First, the most useful are the leaves of three-year-old plants. As a rule, by this time they should grow on one stem from 15 to 30. It is better not to break off the leaves, but to cut them off, closer to the base of the stem. There are the most fleshy, and therefore the most useful shoots for us. Their length should be about 15 cm.

The cut leaf of aloe should be used immediately, as the cut dries very quickly and after 4 hours all medicinal properties will be lost.

How to store?

It is best to store aloe leaves in the refrigerator, after packing them in a plastic bag to avoid drying out. Long-term storage not only does not degrade the beneficial properties, but also increases them.

Such juice is much more useful than the one that releases a freshly cut leaf. Of course, fresh juice can be used for medicinal purposes, but much more. it is preferable to use "sabur" - condensed juice, which is obtained by evaporation.

Usually, before preparing any folk remedy, the cut sheet should lie in the cold for at least 15 hours. During this time, the necessary medicinal substances have time to be synthesized in it.

Leaves rarely dry out. To do this, they are laid out on paper, and covered with a cloth on top. You can store such raw materials for up to two years.

How to prepare drops

But medicinal drops from aloe can be prepared at home. To do this, it will be enough just a leaf of a plant. It is best to take large old leaves for drops - they have much more useful substances. But at the same time, they, unfortunately, are more bitter, so young children are more often treated with juice from young leaves. It is best when the cut plant lies in the refrigerator for a couple of days before use. This helps it accumulate the necessary enzymes. But you can drip juice into your nose from a fresh leaf. Despite the fact that the leaf itself must be aged for several days before use, freshly squeezed aloe juice is used in recipes for the treatment of the common cold.

Aloe juice for nasal drops can be diluted with water. Most often this is done when treating children so that they do not suffer from the bitterness of the plant. For juice from young leaves, the combination with water is enough 1:1, and for mature leaves - 1:2.

Another recipe for drops for children is to take honey, aloe juice and lemon juice in equal parts.
