Does this need to be diluted with another oil or something before use?

I tried applying full strength as mentioned, because I have been in some terrible pain for some time & need to work & work well. Boy am I sorry. I did not feel a mere "stinging SOME on the skin". I felt intense BURNING for hours. And my fingers are still all crinkly & 1/2 numb from the DMSO. My feet also are crinkly & weird. I will be sure to dilute next time... or put less on.. rub less... or SOME thing... but won't do THAT again. ;-)I recommend G. Tate's suggestion to use sparingly... ;-) -Sounds like full strength can be do-able, but go lightly on it... it just takes a little. It's easy to over do it, and then you get weird, burning hot, crinkly skin otherwise, for awhile, so take it easy! :-) I tried applying full strength as mentioned, because I have been in some terrible pain for some time & need to work & work well.

Yes, with distilled or purified water. Remember DMSO grabs stuff and quickly brings it into the body so you don't want to take in any toxins from regular tap water. Dilute at a minimum 50/50. More typical use is at 70%-75% water.

Not necessarily. I use full strength on my wrists for arthritis pain. If it stings a little, I use some lotion or argon oil on it. Go online and read all the info, there is a ton out there. You can dilute it, but I do not.

Even though it can be a tad bit harsh we still use it in its pure form from the oldest 36 to the youngest 2 and my family of 5! Never even thought to dilute it.... Good idea though

Make sure to drain all of the oil thoroughly out and then get a bucket with some water(is what I use) and suck up the water to flush any excess through and make sure to dispose of the oil water mix responsibly.

Essential should not be diluted with anything unless you do not care for the quality and healing properties of oils you use. You can purchase cheaper oils that used mostly for aromas only, so you can save money that way. The good quality oils that are made for external and internal use are purer therefore more expensive. The noise on this diffuser is pretty loud when it diffuses, otherwise it is soundless.

You need to be very careful with this oil. It will burn you badly. It is by far one of the strongest oils out there. If you dilute it with other oils (I would recommend that you do a long search about it first) and heavy dilution with a carrier oil as well.

Spray a little wd40 on it after use. They make an oil. But that works just fine

I recommend diluting it with water. Any carrier oil would most likely inhibit the transdermal effect. I would not use any oil.

a carrier oil is not necessary, for this oil is used for healing as is...however, if you still want to dilute, I'd try 50/50..I am not familiar with argan oil

Use the recommended Amount on the bottle and if u use synthetic oil u have to use the synthetic stabilizer.

I use it undiluted with no ill effects, however some with sensitive skin may want to dilute it in either olive oil or jojoba oil. When I made my own from essential oils, I did dilute with jojoba oil. I would just experiment with the dilution ratio.

YES. This is a concentrated version that should be diluted with water. Very effective.

If you are using it topically, then yes you need to dilute it. Most companies recommend 1 drop oil to 4 drops carrier oil. I hope this helps.

Diluting it with a little baby oil would help the consistency. that is what I did.

Most definitely. This can be diluted with any of the carrier oils. If you have any more questions please let us know. Have a wonderful day LeAnna Plant Therapy Customer Service

Yes, it needs to be diluted, it is far too strong for you animal to be used full strength.

I don't believe it is diluted. It is very thick and creamy. I always have to shake the bottle before use.

Yes, I did. I read he instructions and just mopped it on with one of those string mops and let it dry. I don't think I diluted it with water.
