Aloe
Aloe arborescens; Babardensis Miller
Aloe addresses the fatigue of noise pollution brought on by being in constant, monotone, discordant environments. When we tune out or shut down our aural receptivity to the world, we deprive ourselves of tremendous stimulation. With a swift cleansing effect, the Aloe essence opens our listening capabilities and helps us press against the self-inflicted barriers we erect to defend ourselves from noise. Initially, this may create a feeling of exposure and vulnerability as Aloe invites us to experience a more vital and sensitized experience within our sonic environments.
