What is the ratio, (drops of Pain Aid and amount of carrier oil) before applying to the skin.

it's all together mixed in the bottle already. That was my understanding when I bought it.

If used over a large area (massage), I would use about 5%. On a small area like a joint (knee, shoulder) I have used 25% if I am in serious pain. I know some people that use a couple of drops full strength on a small specific area. If you are prone to allergies, test a little on the inside of your arm opposite your elbow. You can use several different oils to dilute, e.g. Olive, Grapeseed, Almond, Coconut, etc.Hope this helps. I know a lady who got amazing relief from arthritis from this product.Gary

This is a blend of various oils, but it is not diluted in a carrier oil. It is always preferable to dilute in a carrier oil before using on your skin (though I know many MLM reps don't speak of this). If using undiluted, there's a higher risk of having a skin reaction to the oil -- being sensitized -- after which you may never really be able to use the oil/s in question. Here is info on diluting essential oils http://www.learningabouteos.com/index.php/2013/08/07/properly-diluting-essential-oils/

I sometimes do 1:2 --- but other times we use it 100% -- stings a bit at first, but gives my husband a pain-free night of good sleeping. (Shoulder, neck and back pain)

Sorry, It took me so long to answer. I actually used it full strength, but my mother wasn't able to handle it full strength. I couldn't find a definate answer on dilution,but I'd say 3-5 drops of carrier oil to 1 drop of pain aid and u can experiment from there. Hope this helps.

Sometimes I do - since it sinks in quite well. I'll apply the oil and let it set in for at least 15-20 minutes and then I may apply a serum, or my moisturizer. Especially if I'm going out, then it's moisturizer with sunscreen, or moisturizer and make-up with sunscreen. It helps to massage in the oil with your fingertips until it's massaged in.

The product contains nearly an ounce, .85 oz. There are many applications in one jar for most usages. Considering the cost of a dermatologist appointment and the time getting there it is well worth the price. There are at least 40 to 50 normal sized applications in one jar.

I bought this for my sister, I haven't used it. I checked with her and she said it is indeed 0.2 once. it is small but mighty. She has dry skin. I have oily skin, I actually use stri-dex to dry up the oil. Debra

The oil is thick, so a small amount will go a very long way. That being said, the use of the bottle will vary from individual to individual depending on their use of the oil. This particular oil is excellent on both the skin and the hair, so you can use it to massage the scalp, in your lotion, as an after bath oil, in any fashion you desire, so it totally depends on your skin type, and the thickness and dryness of your hair. I suggest that you use a small amount initially, and massage the desired area, and then adjust the amounts according. I also suggest using every 3 to 4 days initially, and again adjusting as necessary. The important thing is the consistent use for optimum benefit.

It depends on the oil. Many of them need to be diluted before applying topically. For example, for the synergy blend 'stay alert,' they recommend a 3 to 5% dilution for topical body applications. I suggest checking directly with the manufacturer before adding to any lotions, creams, etc. Their website is www.edensgarden.com. I hope this helps! :0)

I didn't count but a thin layer is all you need and you can get plenty from 20 ounces. I believe it lasted about 2 months, average two applications a day. One side of my scar looks much better than the other, thinking of buying another bottle. Hope this helps you.

You can apply either to wounds for medical purposes, for mixing with essential oils or cooking with. I like the fractioned coconut carrier oil better for aromatherapy as it has no oder and does not leave your skin feeling oily. I think sometimes when you use the cooking oil's that are thicker (they often come in a jar in the cooking section and are more of a paste) either have a little scent to them or leave your skin feeling a bit oily. I like the plant therapy coconut fractioned carrier oil because it doesn't have any sent, absorbed quickly and does not leave an oily residue but either one works

description says 0.5 oz. it is a fairly thick serum....a drop can be dotted on each cheek and forehead...but do it quickly, as it will absorb in your hand/finger.

I have not actually used it with a carrier oil, but rather mix it with witch hazel for use as a tick repellent for my family and dog. It works great in that regard.

Better to use a carrier oil. Mineral oil, if it's for your skin you can mix with coconut oil or baby oil. I've also mixed it with petroleum jelly or rubbing alcoholMix with a light oil, for skin I recommend petroleum jelly or baby oil. Coconut oil works great as well. I sometimes add a drop to a water bottle to clear up a cold.

From my reading, I believe there are 18-20 mg. per spray of magnesium oil. I always count it as 18. I apply it to my arms, legs, belly, and butt. Sometimes it stings my legs and arms, but never my butt or belly.

I suspended it in mineral oil (about 50-50) and then just rubbed it on the sore spot, which was my knee.If it burns, add a bit more mineral oil. Worked very well. I stored the mixed product in a glass jar.

I use a small mister which holds a little less than 1/2 cup water with instructions to use 3-4 drops of essential oils. I don't know that there is a set ratio, but more about personal preference. The more oil, the stronger the vapor/smell, so it's a bit of testing the number of drops of oil until it's right for you.

Hi Lindsey, I didn't mix with Carrier oil and it would fine. Please contact Edens Garden for more info.
