Hi
I use DMSO and just apply it on the area that is concerning me, which can be a couple – generally my neck and shoulder. Just start with the main area and small doses and build up from there. Also, check the concentration is ideal for your tolerance and make sure that your roll-on is in a glass bottle. BTW, do not allow it to drip on surfaces as it can actually damage it.

Thank you.

Last night I had applied it to an area where I had applied a roll-on pain-relieving liquid (menthol) in the morning, and I broke out in a rash on that site.

This morning, I made sure I had washed the area before I applied the DMSO. No problems so far 2 hrs. later.

OMG. DMSO makes anything else on the skin already, be easily absorbed, so the menthol would have been more deeply absorbed. I hope you are ok? There have been stories of toxicity of the underlying product/chemical so please be careful moving forward. Definitely WASH the skin first and leave it bare (no creams etc) before you apply DMSO.

Thank you. Yes, I seem to be OK.

I just found out that anyone using blood pressure meds should use caution. I have decided not to chance using DMSO. Oh well.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you. Just what I was looking for. I had the email but must have deleted it by mistake.

A good resource and I listened to the audio version of the book by Amandha Vollmer called Healing with DMSO, packed with information, and she has been interviewed over the years, so I am sure you could find these.

Let us know how you get on please.

I use it and just apply where it’s needed. sometimes I also put it on other spots. Don’t put it over tattoos. It pushes them deeper

[grantmorgan1906]

Thank you. I know I need to be cautious but never know what’s going to be a problem. I appreciate your help.

DMSO is a solvent, so it will take anything on your skin, hands, etc. and move it into your body. Sometimes, that’s what you want, but you don’t want eg. dyes from your clothing, to be absorbed. I make sure to apply DMSO to a clean, dry surface; if I’m adding another oil or ?, put it on immediately; then let it dry completely before getting dressed. My physio warned me about this a decade ago.

Thank you.

I just started using DMSO internally. I use the PharmaDMSO brand from Idaho. Very pure. I use it for spike-induced inflammation and what a difference it has made! So amazing! My MD at UCD Medical was really excited when I told him I was using it to reduce inflammation (which really surprised me). He said it is excellent for inflammation, adding that it tastes terrible. It does taste terrible but the brand I buy is not quite as bad as the first brand I tried. The PharmaDMSO brand is more pure and has a little touch of lemon. I take the DMSO with unsweetened pomegranate juice and water. I take 1 teaspoon daily. It was better for me to split the dose 1/2 tsp each morning and evening, but life gets busy so now I just take all at once. Don’t put in hot coffee or tea. DMSO is inactivated above 140 degrees F.

This is timely information. 🙂

I just loaned my Healing with DMSO book to a friend I thought might benefit from it, and she showed me the caution (page 19) of not using when on prescription drugs. I was embarrassed to not have noticed that before (although no one in my family, thankfully, is on any Rx meds) Vollmer only mentions diuretics, which makes sense. However, she is wondering if there’s a source of more information about that precaution? I didn’t see it in MWD’s postings….

Also, thank you for the link to more info and the Idaho source….Will check that out for sure. I have purchased the 70% roll-on applications from the DMSO Store. I have since then twice poured boiling water on my hand (getting clumsy as I age, I guess) and immediately applied that. The pain was gone in an instant, and the skin never even blistered. No pain or even redness after a day. Amazing stuff.

Thank you, all
