Peel the skin, squeeze the gum and apply it to the face. Some people are allergic to aloe vera, so they should do an allergy test first. Stick a 3 cm aloe vera tape on the upper elbow of the inner arm and fix it with tape overnight. Remove it in the morning to see if there are any symptoms such as redness, swelling and itching. If there is any abnormality, it is not recommended to use it. If there is no abnormality, you can rest assured to use it.
Aloe vera is easy to grow, and a small one can grow into a big pot! My family is, a small one has become two big pots now, and many small ones have come out again.
Extended data
According to a large number of scientific research data, there are three kinds of aloe species that are widely planted all over the world, that is, China Aloe, Cura? ao Aloe and Japanese wood blade Aloe (Arboretum Aloe), which can be eaten, but the amount to be eaten each time should be limited. China Aloe is the safest. According to the test results of China Institute for Identification of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products, China Aloe has "no toxic side effects" (acute toxicity test and long-term toxicity test).
Because people have different constitutions, it is generally no problem for a person to eat about 30 grams of fresh leaves a day, and it is safer for people with weak constitutions to 10 to 20 grams a day. Some people want to eat more in order to cure minor injuries and ailments. It is generally believed that controlling diarrhea within one day after eating is the highest limit (that is to say, if mild diarrhea is found, the consumption will be reduced).
Diarrhea caused by eating aloe will not cause serious harm to people, and it will recover quickly if you eat less or stop eating.
Aloe vera is also edible, but its leaf skin is thick and the skin contains more aloin, so the way to eat it is particular: separate the skin from the "meat" (gel). The leaves of China aloe in Yuanjiang are bigger than those of Cura? ao aloe in the United States, and the skin can be eaten separately from the "meat".
Japanese wood blade Aloe contains more aloin, so it feels more bitter and difficult to swallow, but it smells better, so most people can easily accept its smell. People who don't like "hardship" can dip it in honey or add sugar to eat it, and the consumption should be less than that of China Aloe.
Eating Aloe regularly has the functions of cooling and purging fire, invigorating stomach and regulating intestines, and can also improve human immunity. Some people in the Japanese medical field arrange various foods in a table according to the so-called "oxidation degree". The higher the "oxidation degree", the more "positive" it is. Tap water, pork and most canned foods are arranged on the right side, while aloe, deep-sea fish oil and spirulina are arranged on the left side, too.
Aloe leaves can be eaten raw or pickled, just like making pickles. After being salted for a period of time, the smell of aloe is similar to that of pickled cucumber, but it is more brittle, so it is very popular. "Honey Aloe" can be put into the jar with three equal amounts of good honey, Zhuang sugar and washed and dried aloe leaves, and it can be fished up in a week or so to prevent local infection.
This kind of "honey aloe" is sweet and delicious, and its crispness can be compared with jellyfish skin. Picking up the remaining "aloe honey" from "honey aloe" and stirring it with cold boiled water for drinking is also a good product for clearing heat and relieving summer heat in summer. "Wine aloe" is obtained by soaking aloe leaves in high-quality wine (above 50 degrees) for several weeks. Wine can remove the special "smelly" taste of aloe and make people easy to eat, while wine soaked in aloe (aloe wine) is a good "medicinal wine".
Well, don't use it casually. A girl's face is very important. No matter what kind of aloe is directly applied to the face, it will be allergic. The products such as aloe gel we usually use are aloe extract, so we can use it directly.
