I apply aloe vera juice to my hair, but not alone. The aloe vera juice is really moisturizing, and it lowers the ph of your hair. The mix that i usually use is a leave in (usually Kinky Curly Knot Today), aloe vera juice, jojoba oil, and castor oil. I got this mix from KimmayTube on YouTube – she’s a natural who worked for a while to come up with this mixture. I use it as a leave in after washing, and i tweak it to use it as a daily moisturizer sometimes too. You can tweak it to your liking, but the addition of the aloe vera juice does WONDERS for the hair. Hope this helps!

Although I haven’t ever tried it with my horses, I have heard that Aloe Vera mixes can increase stamina and energy. But I have also heard that it can help joints (especially since it has anti inflammitory properties), kill some kinds of viruses, bacteria, and fungi, increase blood flow, and decrease thh risk of ulcers due to stress.

Most of the Aloe Vera products I have seen for equines are in a mixed form, never just out of the plant, probably for a few reasons:
1) You might need a larger quantity on the long term than what is easily available in a single plant.
2) The properties of aloe vera alone could be enhanced with other minerals and supplements; thus it is convienently placed in a mixed form.
3) It smells horrible and your horse might not eat it without it being ‘disguised’. If I were a horse, I wouldn’t eat it.

Just three ideas as to why when people add aloe vera to their horses diet it is not in its raw form. As always, I would consult a knowledgeable veterinarian! Hope this helps!

Yes completely safe………It is healing to all internal organs.
Also improves skin….It helps to cleanse….good for heart
They sell in Health Stores…buy pure juice or jel …I like the jel
seems more economical and mix it with juiced fruit and veg.
It has the thicker consistance of pediolite, so is hard to drink by itself.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Are you taking it for any specific condition (e.g. Constipation), or just for general wellness?

For constipation, I would recommend starting with 1/4 cup 2-3 times per day. You can adjust from there depending on how your body reacts.

As a wellness supplement, would recommend 2 Tbsp 1x/day.

Chloe Adisson answers:

Get fresh leaves (or what you’d call them), and remove the green, outer “peel” (again, for lack of a better word).

Blend the moist center, and add flavour if you like.
