I have some issues with joint stiffness related to lupus. Basically I have some swelling. It clears but hurts when it's flaring up. It could be much worse, so I'm not complaining.

I read that aloe ingested could help with joint pains. I use aloe for skin, so I like aloe. I wasn't familiar with aloe in liquid form, but I looked around and found Aloe Gel by Herbal Authority.

Aloe Gel comes in a semi-clear plastic bottle like sodas and such. The size I buy is 32 oz. Since it only takes a little per day, that does last a long time. The directions say to take 2 ounces 1 to 3 times per day. I just mix a TBS in some juice or Gatorade once per day when I have joint aches.

I really can tell a difference when I use Aloe Gel.I think it gets in my system and acts like a lubricant. My joints ease up quick when using this.

As far as the taste, I must say that Aloe Juice is kind of thick and gloppy. That's why I mix mine. I can drink it straight up, but yuck.

Though I use Aloe Gel for joint issues, I did notice when doing my research that it's good for hangovers. I can't speak to that, but maybe that tidbit will help some out there. If it does work for that, be sure to leave a comment. I was curious when I read that bit of info, but I didn't want to do my own testing.

I had no idea you could ingest aloe. Interesting!
