Neem oil

[luv_tali]

Hi,
I am looking for some advice. I would like to use neem oil for sweet itch but there seems to be loads of different types. Can anyone tell me a good type to use (salve, lotion) and also can you use it neat or does it always need to be diluted? Thank you.

Buy pure neem oil and dilute to 10% in either a carrier oil like sweet almond oil or if using somewhere the sun will get at Vaseline or aloe vera gel. Works out a lot cheaper than buying ready made and you can vary the content if 10% isn't strong enough for what you need. Test on thin skin behind elbow to make sure horse is not allergic. If upping the percentage test each time. I used neem, benzyl benzoate and aloe vera mix for a really bad sweet itch Shetland

I don't dilute, I just slaver it on. Brilliant stuff, used it for all sorts of issues over the last few years and it's always helped. Cheap as chips too.
