I read that Aloe Vera Juice is good for the treatment of hyperpigmentation (melasma). I'm going to try it since it seems like a cheap way to treat it, but I'm wondering if anyone has an experience they can share. Did Aloe Vera juice help? Did you use it in combination with any other products? Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance! Here's a link to the article I read.

Whole foods has such a great thing going…so, please protect the image and correct the grammar error on this page: “Our new 365 Everyday Value® Aloe Juice and Gel products are made from fresh, 100% Whole Leaf Certified Organic Aloe Vera grown in the rich and fertile Rio Grande Valley of Texas and along the Tropic of Cancer in the Mexican Dessert.” Dessert? Like ice cream?

Thanks for all you do.

I have used Aloe Vera Gel for at least 20 years – can’t be beat for sunburn or healing sensitive skin, but everyone knows that. I started drinking the Gel version about 10 years ago, mostly to help acid reflux symptoms (and it does) also use it for indigestion and lower GI problems. I don’t use it every day – just as needed – it really does work – I got my 48 year old son using it a couple of years ago, he loves it. Don’t forget to refrigerate after opening. It does have a really funky taste and the gel is hard to get down especially when you’re not feeling that good in the first place. I never measure how much I take, just take a good long swig or two out of the bottle once or twice a day.

I’m not overly keen on drinking juices, I much prefer the capsule option and have found that Aloeride works wonders.

So great. Aloe vera works wonders with digestion, so this is a great thing to have on hand.

We drink aloe vera juice every day in my home and I also give it to my daycare children once a day and we have no more snotty noses here. Some have complained about the taste-my suggestion (the way we do it)……….I buy frozen juice and instead of mixing with water I mix it with Aloe vera juice! You can not tell the difference! Hope this helps you all that don’t like the taste!

The Mayo Clinic website has great information on aloe. Do a simple search on aloe vera on their website. I read through it and stopped drinking aloe after doing so. Anyone thinking about drinking it needs to take their medical history into consideration and should consult their doctor.

@Nichole It’s best to consult your doctor or medical care practitioner for medical advice, even for natural treatments such as aloe vera.

I wanted to know if aloe is safe to drink over a long period of time if I am drinking 2-4 oz per day. Also, is it best to cycle on and off?
