Question
Is it permissible to drink aloe vera juice on Shabbat for a person with a sensitive stomach?
Answer
Shalom uvracha
If the person is considered a 'sick person', it is permissible to take medicine on Shabbat.
If it is only something defined as a 'minor ailment', it is forbidden to take medicine on Shabbat.
A localized pain is defined as a 'minor ailment'. Pain that weakens the entire body, or a person who needs to lie down in bed due to the pain or weakness, is defined as a 'sick person'.
