Bounties Of The Land Episode 3: Harvesting World Renowned Aloe Vera To The Power of Eden! Video, Statistics, Uses, and More!
Greetings!
Today I go out onto the land to do some super food harvesting for a new episode of Bounties of The Land!
We cultivate a LOT of super foods here in The Garden of Eden.
Most of them are wildcrafted, meaning we establish a permaculture-style environment where they can naturally grow & reproduce with little to no effort. We do this because it is the most efficient and sustainable way.
However, aloe vera is NOT this way! The reason being that aloe cannot handle freezes or even temperatures close to it; it must have temperate climates to survive.
However, because it is SOOO valuable and useful we cultivate it anyways.
I won't go into too much more detail as I have a whole video on it for you!
After the video I will list some of the nutrition, contents, uses, etc.
I hope you watch this video and get inspired by how amazing aloe vera is and how easy it is to grow and use!
Ok so here are some educational information facts about aloe vera to impress you!
- The genus aloe vera originated in South Africa 16 million years ago!
- Each year, the value of aloe vera is around $13 billion in the world market.
- There are 18 amino acids found in aloe vera and these amino acids contribute many health benefits.
Aloe for SKIN!
- Aloe vera gel can stimulate the production of collagen and foster skin elasticity after only 90 days of use.
- Even when you are facing some skin problems, such as dermatitis or psoriasis, aloe vera is able to help.
- The anti-aging quality is also one of the best health benefits of aloe vera, especially when it comes to the skin of old people. The nutrients from aloe vera can be absorbed easily into the skin, and they can even go into as far as the bones.
- BURNS - Aloe is one of the best known remedies for cuts, scrapes, and burns!
- Aloe vera is an anti inflammatory, so it is also really good for muscle pain, joint pain, etc. Use it after a work out or for bruises or physical demanding activities. Not only does it reduce pain, but it also speeds up recovery!
Aloe for the mouth!
- Get that aloe slime in your mouth!
- Studies show it is VERY effective as a mouthwash or toothpaste.
- Reduces plaque, and supports a healthy mouth!
- Reduces/heals mouth ulcers!
Boost Immune System!
- Because aloe vera is high in antioxidants, it is very good for boosting the immune system!
- It also has vitamins A, C, E, B1, B6, potassium, calcium and magnesium which support a strong immune system.
- It has chlorophyll, which is great for overall health and support of the immune system.
Reduces Cholesterol and Blood Sugar!
Hair!
- One of the many benefits of aloe vera is to improve the smooth and shiny properties of your hair.
- Aloe vera can help with scalp itchiness or dandruff. Also for those who want longer hair, aloe vera is a great choice thanks to its rich nutrient density.
- To make a natural hair mask: Prepare one spoon of aloe vera gel. Mix it with juice from half a lemon in a blender. Apply to hair & scalp. After 20 minutes, use warm water and mild shampoo to clean your hair and scalp.
For your poo!
- Aloe vera is used in larger doses as a laxative.
- This could be considered a side affect or a remedy.
- Either way, going poo is essential and most don't poo often enough.
I hope this information was valuable to you and you are inspired not only by the truly miraculous qualities of this SUPER FOOD but by NATURE itself.
I have found that health is natural and nature has provided abundant and sustainable remedies for all problems. I pray that people reconnect with natural living and reap the rewards as I have.

Very nice information, we have loads of aloe vera in our garden which we use only for skin-related things. My daughter has a bit of a constipation issue for years, I am curious to try giving her some aloe vera / lemon mix based on your post, thanks!
I am glad you find this valuable and it may help you immediately!
Yes Aloe is truly powerful and VERY beneficial in MANY ways. I drink it every day in my green juice!
I am not sure what the exact amount would be to be used as a laxative for a child guess it kinda depends on how big/how old but I do know it is very good for promoting bowl movements. It is also very healthy to ingest even without needing movement support so if you have a lot of it, I would recommend eating some every day!
Thanks for commenting and letting me know this was valuable. I find it to be VERY much so but its nice to know what people like and don't like and how people feel about it.
Bless it be∞~*~
This is great!! I knew aloe vera was a super food, but I still learned so much about it! + the end of the vid makes me smile :)
I'm really digging this Bounties of the Land series, it's super valuable to share with as many people as possible.
Yes Aloe is truly a super food magic plant!
ITs been one of my favorite for a long time before I even knew how powerful it really was!
Thanks for your feedback. I feel like this series is very valuable though I tend to have a very different value set the most ;-)>
Tarzan and Robin hood many efforts to make this work ...thanks to share it
Yes I feel that I relate much more with Robin Hood than Tarzan considering that I dedicated my whole life to helping people over a decade ago, but I feel more natural as Tarzan. I feel at home at peace out in the woods living a simple and natural life.
Thanks for the comment.
I love how it has just reproduced itself over and over again, getting stronger and more prolific every year. It's also great that we have it available to us 24/7 for all kinds of uses. Great plant to highlight @quinneaker.
Indeed!
Awesome post! I hadn't come across your blog before but I'm glad I did tonight. I personally love the Aloe Vera plant and it's great to see someone touting it's benefits with a great knowledge and not just the common uses that everyone already knows about like sunburn. I even picked up a few tips I will be using some extra aloe vera for my hair to see how it's does. Thanks for the valuable info!
Yes using it for the hair is a really nice "conditioner" far healthier and more sustainable than that crap in a bottle!
I drink it every day in my green juice. Thats actually my favorite use as I mentioned in the video! Yet it can be used in many ways and is OHHHH so healthy!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate the feedback especially from someone with a bit of perspective on the matter.
Hope to continue to contribute content of real value!
