Aloevera Drink

Use it as a refreshing or detoxifying drink, the aloe drink is fine for both purposes.

This powerful mixture  is easy to make.

You need:
1 Aloevera leaf
1/2 litre of water
4 lemons
Vitamix (mixer)
Peeler
Lemon squeezer

You cut off one leaf of your aloe vera plant and place it in a glass with the cut pointing down. This way the yellow juice can flow out. It is important because it can cause skin irritation and stomach problems. Anfterwards you cut the leaf in approximately 3 cm long pieces and peel them. Place the gel inside the leaf into a bowl. For every 2 tablespoons of gel you need 5 dl water. The water, the gel and the juice of the squeezed lemons are filled in the mixer and let the machines run. Now the delicious and healthy drink is ready! Keep the drink in the refrigerator and enjoy it as fresh as possible.

Good to know:
The Aloevera plant also survives in the dry areas of deserts and it can store up to one litre of water in its thick fleshy leaves.

The anti-inflammatory, wound healing and immuno-stimulating properties as well as the detoxifying and deacidifying properties are often mentioned.  The secret is the good interaction of over 200 active ingredients. Scientifically proven is a laxative effect by the bitter tasting natural substance aloin.

Don’t throw away the Aloevera skins. You can use it for hair or face care.

Aloevera has a moisturizing effect on your skin and hair. Especially my hair tips love the moisture of the Aloevera leaves.

The gel also forms a protective film around the hair without any synthetic ingredients.

Keep in mind that you don’t cut off the leaves of your plant too frequently. The plant grows slowly and needs time to recover from a cut. If you want to make this drink more often, get fresh leaves on the internet or keep several plants.
