Aloe Vera juice is said to be beneficial in detoxifying your body and your blood stream.

Making Aloe Vera juice at home can be ineffective if done improperly.
But by following this helpful guide, you can learn how to make Aloe Vera juice safely at home and reap its healthy benefits.
Steps:
1. Cut one of the leaves that are closed to the ground(they are more mature and
have more ingredients).
Choose the tips of those which begin drying because it means that the juice they contain
is maximally useful.
2. Take a sharp knife and carefully peel the rind and remove the thorny edges of the leaf.
3. Peel the yellow layer just beneath the rind with a sharp knife and discard.
The yellow layer can also be removed by gently rinsing it in a solution of 1 tbsp. (15ml) of white
vinegar and 1 cup (8oz) water.
Once all the rind and yellow layers have been removed, you should be left with only clear Aloe Vera gel.
4. Continue peeling the outer rind and removing the yellow layer of each leaf until you have
approximately 2 tbsp.(30 ml) of clear Aloe Vera gel.
5. Place the 2 tbsp (30ml) of clear Aloe Vera gel into a blender immediately.
6. Add 1 cup(8oz) of any citrus-based juice, such as orange or grapefruit, to the blender.
7. Blend the juice and gel until it has a smooth appearance.
8. Pour the blended juice into a glass and enjoy!
