The health benefits of the true Aloe Vera (Barbadensis). I use the Aloe to make my own Aloe water to drink and moisturising spray, in addition with a quality juicer to extract the pulp for optimum juice to drink or add into smoothies or make into ice cubes. Make your own Aloe gel for your skin (rehydrates and tightens/uplifts) for your face or use for hair health.
Its brilliant for all types of skin burns.
Here is an excellent source of written information.

How to prepare your Aloe leaf. Remove all the green outside skin by cutting away the top and end of the leaf then the spiny sides. For ease of handling leave the bottom skin to hold the Aloe meat in place. With a knife of spoon remove chunks of the meat eventually discarding the bottom green skin. Nothing is better than using fresh raw Aloe. But It is imperative that you rinse/wash the Aloe meat to remove all of the Aloe latex - yellow slime (unless you want to use it as a natural laxative). Here is a good YouTube video (Aloe Vera Benefits as a Nutritious Dietary Superfood -19mins) - gives excellent nutritional information and how you utilise this amazing herb (even if its American).
Another good video (first 11 mins) showing the importance of removing the latex.
