Q: I have been using gin and golden raisins for almost 30 years. It absolutely works for me.
I stopped taking it for a while because of a scheduled surgery. A few weeks later, I noticed I was having joint pain again. I resumed the concoction and am now much more comfortable and flexible.
It does take at least a month for it to start working. You must have patience.
A: Although we cannot explain it, may people find that gin-soaked golden raisins can be helpful against joint pain. Perhaps the grape polyphenols in the raisins provide anti-inflammatory activity. It is easy to make this remedy.
