A1 Overview; "Aloe vera is historically and symbolically dubbed the "silent healer" across cultural traditions, and its bioelectric impulses are translated into 432Hz ambient frequencies in sound-healing projects like Aloe Vera Vibrations"
Aloes flowering in a bay window in Southampton U.K. Mine often flower but unlike in their natural environment they do not produce sufficient flower head to make "flower remedies" (after Dr.Edward Bach et.al), this is unsurprising for (as also with crystals) such remedies should be "potentised" in the "in the vernacular".
"This track is created from the natural bio-electrical vibrations of an Aloe Vera plant, translated into gentle tones and blended with soft 432Hz harmonics. The sound carries a calming, cooling energy that supports deep relaxation, emotional balance, and inner clarity.
As you listen, allow the subtle plant frequencies to soothe your breath, soften the mind, and restore a sense of peace within.
A quiet space to reconnect with yourself, nature, and the present moment": https://insighttimer.com/BioMusicVibrations/video-guided-meditations/aloe-vera-vibrations-for-deep-calm-and-inner-healing
"Aloe vera is not a cactus though. It belongs to the Lily family, a relative of onion and garlic. The plant’s Latin name is aloe vera aloe barbadensis, but its common names include burn plant, lily of the desert, and elephant’s gall (“Herbs”). Its thick, spiny leaves grow in a rosette pattern, usually numbering 12 to 16. They are a greyish-green color often with small flecks of white running along the leaves, as are the leaves on my little aloe plant. Three to four of these leaves can be harvested every six to eight weeks without damaging a mature plant, and in these leaves lives the allure of the aloe plant: the gel. Aloe has been described as shrubby, but specimens can look quite grand when they flower. The flowers are yellow and tubular and grow in cylindrical racemes on a stalk that can reach 90 centimeters into the air (“Aloe”). The plant becomes a tower of striking yellow".."Egyptians called it “the plant of immortality,” according to Alasdair Barcroft and his historical account of the plant in For the people of Mesopotamia, aloe vera was used to ward off evil spirits, an ancient vampire vs. garlic tale. Hindus believed aloe was among the holy plants in the Garden of Eden and dubbed it the “silent healer” (Barcroft 18-19). In that small suburban backyard, in our world of little-girl imagination, we applied the gel to our skin, and though we didn’t know its name then, we understood its power, part of the magic that has existed in minds for millennia.
Aloe vera is known across cultural and linguistic borders as a “miracle” or “magic” plant. Inside the leaves is a colorless jelly-like substance comprising the parenchyma tissue of the plant – the source of all this magic (“Aloe”). I snap off a tip of one of the leaves on my aloe vera and touch the oozing jelly inside. It smells foul, but the gel is thick and wet. It looks soothing and restorative. This gel has been known to heal burns and skin abrasions; it’s a folk and alternative remedy for conditions including asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, and osteoarthritis (“Herbs”). Chemical analysis has clarified some of the mystery surrounding this “miracle” plant, discovering that the gel contains amino acids, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, proteins, polysaccharides and biological stimulators (“Complete”). Today, it’s found in everything from skin products to yogurt": https://hfe-observatories.org/story/natures-healer-the-magic-and-memory-of-aloe-vera/

I have found applications for aloe vera that don't immediately appear in the standard literature, such as packing the outside surface of the lungs in aloe gel as a topical treatment for many different respiratory toxin and particulate inhalation impactions and internally for stomach conditions and again following the ingestion of many different toxins and poisons, remember, however, that aloe vera is alkaline and full of water never use if contraindicated and always check the basic protocols (esp. with man made agents whose reactions are not commonly understood) regarding the treatment of any toxin, particulate or poison! The search for a way of properly hydrating damaged lung tissue is, however, surely the dream of many conventional physicians.
Regarding the Vernacular
Below is an example of the amount of flower head an aloe vera can produce in its natural environment.
As flower remedies require unbroken sunshine for the 3-5 hours they take to potentise and it is preferable to cover the surface of the water in the potentising vessel with fresh open flower head (esp. in the case of aloe which opens its blooms progressively) it is materially obvious that aloe vera flower essence should be potentised in the vernacular 🌞 It's profile should be of an essence that specifically deals with the emotional effects of trauma esp. when the physical and emotional aspects are in conflict or synergistic.
Filleting
If you wish to use natural aloe at home you will need to fillet it properly. This is no job for children as aloe leaf is tough and fairly thick so you will need a sharp knife (Nb. I use a straight blade not serrated). There are a good number of filleting tutorials on You Tube, here are a couple (Nb. I cut the end off at the pruned base of the leaf then cut the useable remainder -that with any hope of filleting successfully for useable gel, so you don't use the end- into rectangles slice off one edge at a slight angle, remove the remaining top part of the leaf above the gel then, flattening the leaf I fillet above the surface of the bottom leaf to remove only clear gel, any remaining leaf matter and yellowed gel is then removed -I use a stone board for this against which green spots of leaf matter or yellow slime show very clearly, the board is easy to clean & I keep the yellow matter separate from any gel I consume-):
..and one on gut health:
I try to use a very strict protocol when I ingest aloe because aloe contains non-active B12 a rare bacterium found active in only a number of plant based moulds, dairy & meat products, as Methylcobalamin in reputable supplements and as a yeast extract. One should not consume aloe until any active B12 source has passed through the system and not consume any active B12 until (ideally) the day following consumption. It is also very advisable to use alkaline biased or neutral water with which to "fast" your aloe (by allowing at least two or more hours to digest before eating anything). In totally ideal circumstances one would take the aloe in the morning around/before 10am then drink only water until 2-3pm eating a light snack then a modest evening meal avoiding too much acid, and any B12 sources, also being careful with sugars and leaning towards bitters for any teas or liquids following the fast.
I believe the inactive B12 in aloe vera gel improves reception of active B12 but its actions are blocked when they meet in the gut or in the bloodstream this is why you will feel "blocked" and depressed if you fail to properly follow the protocol (Nb. beware, many products have B12 added, stay away from those).
Aloe applied topically should also be pure gel although I use the outer leaf of the rectangles I cut as a hard surface against which I can squeeze out gel after filleting the top of the leaf. I cut the gel surface diagonally, quarter it then slice the remaining aloe "sacks" again. This gel I squeeze out onto the skin surface using the outer leaf as both a surface against which to compress the aloe sacks and a pad with which to transport the pure gel over my skin as I squeeze the more liquid, viscous gel out of the sacks. I also use my thumb and fingers to help break the sacks of gel as I spread it. This usually results in some cubes of gel remaining on the skin but these can be squeezed too or considered "hors de combat" (from viewing both videos I will also ensure that I don't cut right through the gel when creating these "nodules"). Aloe gel can be tricky stuff to use topically unless you use a liquidiser and my method ensures the gel is transported to precisely where you want it to go, not where it wants to go! #viscoussnitch
Which brings us to topical uses, its use as a burn remedy, scar tissue healer and general skin tonic are well known, however, it is also ideal for healing any soft tissue, muscle, tendon, ligament injury and for all general wound healing esp. when used in conjunction with, but not at the same time as (esp. when utilising fresh gel), herbs like arnica and in-fact any preparation you want to penetrate into the skin as fully as possible. Use it on the hair by first wetting it, toweling off then taking a clean hair brush coated in gel brush the hair and leave the gel on for at least half an hour (Nb. I often leave mine on a lot longer but then I frequent chlorinated swimming pools!).
I believe when applied on a shaved the scalp (or simply up to the hair line in the case of frontal lobe injury) it may also actually help heal brain injuries.
Consuming aloe will also hydrate, mineralise and increase blood flow to virtually any injury anywhere on the body so internal consumption should also be considered when treating external wounds and other such injuries. Internal & external protocols can be employed at the same time in cases where immediate intervention is indicated or the condition is particularly serious.
Ponce de Leon claimed that the Fountain of Youth was in Florida, it is also believed by some that the Seminole Indians of Florida held sacred a spring around which aloe vera plants blossomed and that this was indeed their "Fountain of Youth". Presumably they too eschewed the eating of meat or dairy on days when they "ate the aloe".
