Medicinal Aloe...
    #20255112 - 07/10/14 08:23 PM (9 years, 8 months ago)

Hello, was wondering if any of you grow aloe for medicinal purposes? I just realised yesterday that my aloe, I think it is Aloe arborescens, is flowering.

Has anyone had experience making salves and/or juice from this? Would love to hear about any recipes.

I read somewhere that aloe can be toxic. Anyone know much about that?



Cheers!

I definitely keep my aloes around to use, although i do not make anything from it. I just use it for burns and bites. When I need it, I just clip off a section of a leaf and squeeze out juice and rub it in

Andbtw, great looking plant you got there!

My understanding is that you really only wanna use true Aloe vera for medicinal applications.

I think the term aloe vera is used for a number of different aloe species. So there is no such thing as a true aloe vera. From what I've read, I think Aloe barbadensis is the main type that people use medicinally, but I read somewhere else that Aloe arborescens has stronger medicinal properties than A. barbadensis.

...but there seems like a lot of info out there, and I'm not so sure about some of it. That's why I was kind of curious as to whether anyone here has actually had any experience with using it. I'm particularly interested in making juice. I've drunk the aloe juice from the shop, and it's good, but it's expensive. Would much prefer to make my own if I can.

Aloe vera is a particular species that has a few synonyms (barbadensis, indica, vulgaris)

I would be curious to know about the medicinal qualities of other aloes though. I've long wondered about that.
