      This is the same plant that used to be called that but is now recognized by taxonomists as Aloe vera.

      Richo, my deep respect to you. Same question about Aloe arborescens – is the juice of this plant sweet? As Ayurveda allow to use bitter juice for outside using, sweet juice – Inside using

      Hello Gintas, Aloe arborescens juice is very bitter! You know, really, all aloes are going to be bitter, due to the presence of aloin, a very bitter principle.
      It is possible that if only the gel is extracted, and not the yellow anthraquinone constituent that occurs just below the skin of the leaf, that a sweet taste might be achieved. But for all practical purposes, aloes are bitter. Richo

      Yes Richo, I am going to use only gel w/o skin. My source told me that I should select Indian Aloe Barbadensis. I am little bit confused with Aloe Barbadensis and Aloe Vera. Some sources confirming it is the same plant, some – not. Do you have experience in preparing aloe juice according Ayurvedic principles for inner using? My respect. Gintas

      Hello gintas, yes, you would filet the large, juicy leaf and keep the gel and discard the skin. This would make it “sweeter.” The directions for doing this are on page 105 of “Making Plant Medicine” 4th edition. As for confusion with Aloe vera, the plant, and the naming of the plant, this is understandable. You can check my blog on the subject at this link https://blog.strictlymedicinalseeds.com/origins-of-aloe-vera/
      Beyond the blog, I think what your practitioner is recommending, is the larger and more upright form of the plant, sometimes misnomered “barbadensis.” (the plant didn’t originate in barbados, or india, for that matter, although it may be grown in these places). The other form of the plant is the “chinese” type that most people have, which is spotted and droopy. I have both types here, and they can generally be found at local nurseries. richo

      I’d like to use it by cutting a little bit every day for use on my face.
      Will it kill the plant?

      No, harvest the older, lower leaf not the central rosette and you’ll be fine. most of us do this, the older leaves will eventually slough off anyway.
