How to make aloe vera gel at home

Aloe vera is also known as medicinal aloe that has numerous health benefits.

Right from improving the digestive system to nourishing the skin, this 6, 000 years old plant is no less than a magic wand.

With the change in time now aloe vera is available in various forms, but the most popular version is the aloe vera gel.

Now, with the spike in demand, manufacturers have started adulterating the medicinal gel and that has reduced its after effects.

To make it effective and simple for you, here we have listed 6 simple steps to make fresh and pure aloe vera gel. Give it a try.

First of all, you need to sanitize your hands and the tools that will be used in making the aloe vera gel. For the same, wash the aloe vera, a deep bowl, a knife, a spoon, and a glass jar to store the gel.

Now, slice off a healthy aloe leaf at the base, as they are more likely to be mature and have plenty of healthy gel.

After slicing, you will see resin coming out of it. Let the dark yellow resin drain out for 10-15 minutes. According to experts, the resin contains latex, which is irritating to the skin.

Once the resin is drained out, scoop the gel out with a spoon or knife and keep it in the sanitized bowl.

Now, mix the fresh gel along with a natural preservative like vitamin C powder. For this, you need to blend the powder and fresh gel properly, till a thick consistency is achieved.

Place the gel in a sanitized clean glass jar and your fresh homemade aloe vera gel is ready to use.
