Aloe contains a variety of carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and other ingredients, with high nutritional value. After the human body eats it, it can not only supplement trace elements, but also play the role of clearing away heat, expelling toxin and caring skin. There are many ways to eat aloe, such as making aloe into salad, cooking aloe with meat, and adding aloe as raw material to soup. These practices are widely used in restaurants, but if you eat at home, you can peel aloe directly, wash it with clear water, and then blanch it with boiling water, which is relatively simple. If you are interested, you can also juice aloe, add sugar and drink it together. The prepared aloe juice can be stored in the refrigerator 1 to 2 days.

Fresh aloe leaves not only have various functions of dried aloe, but also have milder medicinal properties than dried aloe. Especially, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and polysaccharide contained in fresh aloe can improve human physiological function, promote human health and enhance immunity, which is beyond the reach of dried aloe. Aloe leaves will lose and destroy some effective components during processing, so their functions are not as comprehensive as those of fresh aloe leaves.
② Pay attention to the object suitability when eating fresh aloe leaves.
Use with caution for people with weak constitution or spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. People who vomit after eating fresh aloe leaves, or cause severe abdominal pain and diarrhea should also be prohibited from eating. Aloe vera is a powerful medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials, which is suitable for strong physique (i.e. positive type), but its effect on weak physique (i.e. debilitating type) may not be ideal. Only by understanding its adaptability can it play a better role.
③ Take a proper amount of fresh aloe leaves.
Adult women can take 1 piece of aloe mesophyll with a length of 3 cm and a width of 4 cm every day. For strong men, it can be increased appropriately (generally 10% ~ 20%). Children and the elderly should be reduced as appropriate. Women during pregnancy and menstruation should avoid taking aloe vera.
Never mistake agave for aloe.
Agave and aloe plants are similar in morphology. Agave is poisonous. Don't eat it by mistake. Except for a few kinds of aloe, such as arborvitae aloe and Shangnong aloe, which can eat fresh leaves, most kinds of aloe are just ornamental plants, and some kinds of aloe are still toxic, which may cause poisoning or even endanger life after eating by mistake.
⑤ Don't treat aloe as a panacea.
Although the therapeutic effect of aloe on many diseases has been confirmed by modern medicine, it cannot be regarded as a panacea. All diseases are treated with aloe vera, especially acute diseases and some serious diseases. Be sure to send them to the hospital in time to avoid wasting time.
Precautions for external use of fresh aloe leaves:
Generally, fresh aloe leaves are safe for external use, and the method is simple and easy.
There are many kinds of aloe suitable for external use. Shangnong Aloe, Chinese Aloe, Arboretum Aloe and Soap Aloe can all be used to extract leaves, among which Shangnong Aloe is the most suitable.

After rubbing fresh aloe leaves for external use, the skin feels itchy or has a small red rash, which is generally not too serious and will subside in half a day. In case of skin allergy, fresh aloe leaf juice can be diluted with cold boiled water before use, and those with severe allergies should stop using it immediately.
