How to Harvest Fresh Aloe Vera Gel

A NaturalNews PhotoTour by Mike Adams

Notice the thick gel in this aloe vera leaf. (This was taken from a plant in my front yard.) It is this gel that we're after. The method here is to use a knife to remove the thick skin and resin of the aloe vera leaf, leaving only the gel.

It is the gel that has the health benefits we're interested in. The dark red resin (latex) actually causes diarrhea, but the gel is soothing to the entire digestive tract and is even well known to cure heartburn, IBS, Crohn's disease, constipation and many other digestive disorders.
