I saw that mixing it in a blender might help it homogenize. It will likely be runny but effective.

Alydia the ingredients call for aloe Vera, distilled water and tea tree oil. You are using 190 proof alcohol most other recipes require rubbing alcohol not drinking alcohol. That may be why the aloe Vera looks like it’s being eaten at the bottom.

In Phoenix, AZ we have lower cost food stores that sell individual large aloe leaves for $.79/lb. Try Food City, El Super, and Ranch Markets, I’ve seen them in all these stores. These stores cater to Hispanic and ethnic groups, so look for these stores in your are for individual aloe leaves.

I am using 190 proof everclear and 99.9 % pure aloe Vera. I am getting a rubber glob in the bottom. Like the aloe is gettin “eaten”.

Vodka only 40% if you are lucky to have a Russian one
You need medical grade alcohol which I don’t believe you can buy
You could take with soap and water in a suitable container

I’m not sure on that I’m afraid. I use XXXXX to protect against it but am not sure if it kills the virus. They could not claim so without studies anyway. There are quite a lot of studies on this product as its one of the only things that will kill the MRSA virus. Just not sure about this new virus. Here is info on the oil and MRSA though if you want to see a personal case study. https://craftyourhappiness.com/2013/07/14/a-healing-hand/

(XXXX’s WE WERE REQUIRED TO DELETE THE NAME OF THE OIL BRAND LISTED TO KEEP THE POST LIVE. YOU CAN CALL THE # ON THE POST FOR THAT INFO. SORRY!)

Hi Nancy!
The CDC says its needs to be 70%. Here is the link: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/prevention.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fprepare%2Fprevention.html

Thank’s for the added info Louise. This post is older so does not address the corona virus specifically. I’ve read that it needs to be 70% according to the CDC. Most of the other things you mention are correct except possibly the Vodka. We have some here and its 80 proof which means 40% alcohol. But you can possibly get it higher. Not sure how that works as I’m not a drinker but some of the family is so that’s why we have it. Ü

Hi Aleta,
From what I’ve read that can be true. I’m not a professional and some say it can be used diluted but I’d be very careful and maybe ask a vet. Here is an article on it: http://www.vetstreet.com/our-pet-experts/what-you-should-know-about-tea-tree-oil-toxicity-in-dogs-and-cats Make sure anything you read comes from a reliable source, vets preferably, rather than someone just trying to sell you stuff. Ü Many oils can be used on pets and have wonderful effects but you do need to be careful.

Take care of those fur babies. We have 6 in our home!
