It also works great to clean out impurities from the system because of its natural detoxifying and laxative effects. Making you own at home is better because the longer those brand-name bottles sit on the shelves, the quicker they lose their potency. Aloe vera is also one of the easiest plants to grow, so there's less of an excuse for not having them around! Here is how to easily make your own aloe vera juice at home with a blender.
