![]() Do not fret however, because the plant itself can re-grow from the root ball and it's center stalk. For the purpose of this instructable, I yanked out one of the plants from its dirt home. I also posted a photo of my work gloves, as the cactus-family plant may cause sensitive skin to itch as the spines are there for the plants protection, just as a rose plant has thorns. The first photo in this step shows you the side of my house where the plant is growing. But my hearty and strong aloe vera plants have been thriving in my various gardens and pots for most of my lifetime. I don't have a green thumb by any means and have had my share of house plants and flowers die from mostly neglect. I have transported a potted aloe vera plant from one home to the next at least twice that I can think of. I have been growing the aloe vera plant for over fifteen years. Please remember that this post is for information only, and it is not intended to recommend treatment. The recipe is spot on, I have personally used it, and I am going to share the process of making it with you. ![]() The original source I used for this recipe is here: Cheryl's Delights Blog. It wasn't until this year that my mother-in-law suggested I start using the fruitful plant for an all natural sunburn healer and skin softener so I started researching the prospect of actually using the plants I grew. I have also read up on this mixture helping with eczema, but am only getting that from personal blogs around the net (mentioned in Step 4.) There are so many uses for this gel that I know it could be used for many ailments. My husband burns easily and in a pinch, I have rubbed straight aloe vera goo from the plant on his bright red extremities. One of the reasons I am posting this tutorial is because I know this mixture helps heal sunburns. I personally use it as a moisturizer on my aging sun-kissed, exposed chest skin and neck, hoping that it will rejuvenate it over the long run and keep that part of my skin looking young. This Instructable will show you how I ( and I emphasize I) make homemade Aloe Vera Gel.
