I have a large aloe plant. Has anyone got any ideas for harvesting the gel and making juices etc? How do you recommend i eat it?
Also what , in your experience, has it been good for? Thanks

The only thing I’ve used mine for is when DP got sunburn all down his back and shoulders in the summer. I cut a couple of thick leaves off, cut them open lengthways and scraped the slimy juice out and put that straight on to his back. It really soothed it and it flaked up and healed quite quickly. I’m interested to see what other replies you get about what else you can do x
