Super Easy Detox with Aloe Vera

As we live in this world, we are exposed to harmful toxins everyday. I do my best to avoid them, but sadly it is impossible with food and drink preservatives, artificial dyes, additives, MSG, store-bought cleaning products, cosmetic products, and plastic bottles.

Sweat Treatment
There are some methods to remove the toxins by sweat; infrared sauna, bath with salt and/or baking soda are good ones. I sprinkle some magnesium flakes (or Epsom salt), Himalayan salt and baking soda when I take a bath. If you want to be exact, here is a recipe for the bath salt.

2 cups of magnesium flakes (or Epsom salt)
1 cup of coarse Himalayan salt (or sea salt)
1 cup of baking soda
(I posted the recipe on my Instagram before.)

After this sweat treatment, please make sure that you take a good amount of clean water, not from a plastic bottle, as the body absorbs anything easily afterwards.

Power of Aloe Vera
I recently learned that aloe vera might be effective in removing radiation accumulated in our bodies, then I re-evaluated the benefits of the ancient plants. I grow them in case of sunburn and burned skin, but I never tried to consume the plants I grow.

Aloe vera is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it helps our digestion and bowel movements to remove toxins such as heavy metals from your system.

I then researched aloe vera consumption and found that “aloe vera honey” must be the easiest. To my surprise, aloe vera gel is not bitter at all. Most of the recipes I found on the Internet wash the gels, but I believe the slimy substance is the most beneficial, so I don’t wash them after peeling the skin. The sliminess disappears after a while with honey anyway. I think the honey’s enzyme dissolves it.

How to make Aloe Vera Honey

1. Rinse the aloe vera.

2. Cut off the side edges with a knife or a peeler.

3. Peel the skin off the curved side of the aloe vera with a knife or a peeler.

4. Slide a knife underneath of the aloe vera gel to remove the flat side skin.

5. Cut the gels into bite size pieces.

6. Pour some honey.

You can eat it right away, or you can keep it in a fridge for a couple of days (I don’t know how long it lasts because I usually eat it right away or next day). I consume it every week or every other week.

How to grow Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is easy to grow, it multiplies quickly even if neglected. I have divided it several times and given some to my friends. It will be your life-time supply. :)

In the NY climate, I take the aloe vera containers inside during winter, and I rarely water them.

Hope you try growing aloe vera and enjoy their resilient energy!

Love and Light,
