How to collect and store aloe?

This medicinal plant does not make sense to harvest for future use, except for 2-3 weeks before use. Fleshy leaves in dried form no longer represent value, because their strength is in the mucous juice. Those. To harvest it is necessary the juice of the plant. But it also requires certain knowledge and skill.

First, you need to choose the right plant and leaflets. Healing is considered to be the juice of the plant, which is more than 3 years old. Leaflets need to be fleshy, their length should be at least 15 cm. Such leaves can be found in the middle and lower parts of the plant. Cut them at the very bottom.

Secondly, before harvesting leaves, the plant must be kept without watering for one to two weeks. Only then it will contain a maximum of useful substances.

Cut off leaves, intended for processing into juice, you need to hold about 2 weeks in the refrigerator, wrapping them in a clean, better dark paper or food film. Aloe is a plant capable of producing biogenic stimulators in the cold, which enhance the therapeutic effect of the plant.

Then, squeeze the juice from the aloe in the usual way.

Freshly prepared juice has a short shelf life. In the dishes of dark glass in the refrigerator it can be stored for no more than 3 days. To increase the shelf life of the juice, natural preservatives are added to it: honey, alcohol, vegetable oil. The last component makes sense

Add, if the aloe will be used as an external agent, which is irrelevant in bronchitis.

It is believed that the maximum amount of useful substances aloe leaves contain at the end of winter and early spring. But how to preserve such a healthy juice until the middle of autumn - the time of the heat of colds? This is possible only with the help of honey or alcohol.

How to cook and store aloe with honey? There are 2 ways:

• Peel the sheet from the refrigerator from hard skin and thorns, cut into pieces, pour 2 frequent warmed honey and leave to infuse for a day. After that, the mixture is once again heated, filtered, cooled and stored in a dark glass container on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for about six months.
• Squeeze aloe juice in one of the ways described above, mix with the same amount of liquid honey and store in a container of dark glass or ceramics for a year in a cold place. This recipe already after 5 days becomes a natural cough medicine, which can be used for half an hour before meals three times a day for 1 dessert spoon.

How to make aloe juice with alcohol? Various sources suggest mixing aloe and alcohol in proportions of 1: 1, 2: 1, 4: 1, mix well and store the mixture in a bottle of dark glass. The shelf life of such drugs will be at least a year. True, they can only be used to treat adult patients.

When preparing aloe, you need to remember that when you touch the metal, the plant changes not only the color, but also the properties. Therefore, you need to exclude metal objects. Cut the leaves and grind the plant can be a wooden chip, fishing line, kapron thread, ceramic knife.

Storage conditions

There may be a situation where the treatment of aloe has no positive effect.

The fact is that not any plant has medicinal properties, but that which has already been fulfilled for at least three years. Yes, and this flower should take the bottom leaves, which are more fleshy, and therefore, one can squeeze more of the medicinal juice from them.

Keep torn sheets without a refrigerator can not. They quickly lose their properties. And in the refrigerator, the plant remains only 3-4 days.
