I've been reading about it, just ordered some a couple days ago. I've read some use aloe if they're going to rub it on. For ingesting you do want to dilute it, some use distilled water and some use juice. I guess just put a teaspoon of it with a couple or 3 ounces of water or juice (or watered down juice?). I'm going to try watered down juice since I'm trying to keep the carbs low. Don't put it in a plastic container because it might leech contamination.
