Question 1

Has anyone used this oil directly on skin or is it better to mix with other base oils first?

Accepted Answer

I've used it directly on my skin and scalp -- it works wonders, but as others have noted, the smell isn't great. To me, it's similar to garlic.

However, I just put it on when I'm going to be alone (since my partner hates the smell!) and then I wash / shampoo it off. I'm very happy with it and plan to purchase more when I run out of this one!

Question 2

Does neem oil stop hair loss?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Need leaf helps with hair growth.  But you might want to add Olive oil and some Aloe Vera gel to help kill bacteria on the scalp and to relieve some of that smell from Neem oil, perhaps add a few drops of lavender or your favorite essential oil to make it smell good.

Question 3

How often do you use this to prevent pests?

Accepted Answer

If it does not rain after applying I do it at the first sign of the pest then I check daily for signs of the pests return which I have not seen ,this tells me it does work but not if the plants were infested, only at first sign which is mainly preventive.....

Question 4

How to use on my dog? She has bald reddish skin patches

Accepted Answer

It sounds like your dog is having atopic dermatitis/allergy issues. Most products (including shampoos) are going to irritate their skin- Even the “oatmeal skin soothing” ones.

You need to try to find what’s causing the allergies and talk to your vet about a round of medications (oral and/or topical) to help clear it up and give your dog some relief.

I’d start by washing all of your bedding, blankets, whatever in a fragrance free laundry detergent. Unplug/stop using any air fresheners, essential oil diffusers (toxic to pets anyway), febreze, and anything else of the sort. DO NOT use any human products on them unless your vet specifically says to- Benadryl is an exception to this and can help with allergies.

If you bathe your dog, only use warm water while they have flare ups. You can put something like coconut oil (unrefined, unbleached, cold pressed) on as a moisturizer to stave off dry skin.

Once again, talk to your vet.
