Apply DMSO to areas of pain such as the spine, a bone, wound (not to an open wound), sprained muscles, torn ligaments, joints, or over the abdomen such as in cases of IBD’s, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or other issues. DMSO can be applied to bruises, injuries, scar tissue, and is exceptional for any area of inflammation. It is can be helpful for arthritic joints or knee injuries.

Here is how it is mixed and applied–

ALWAYS APPLY TO FRESHLY CLEANED SKIN– REMEMBER THAT WHAT IS ON YOU WILL GO INTO YOUR SYSTEM- SO ALWAYS USE ON CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN SKIN ONLY

General Mixing–

1. 50/50 mix-  1 part water, aloe vera juice or colloidal silver to 1 part 99% DMSO-  apply 1-4 times daily
2. 70/30 mix-  1 part water, aloe vera juice or colloidal silver to 2 parts 99% DMSO-  apply 1 or 2 times daily
3. 10/90 mix-  1 part DMSO to 90% carrier such as making a cream or ointment for mild applications

If mixing the DMSO yourself and not using a premixed retail product, blend with a carrier either aloe vera juice, distilled water, or colloidal silver. I prefer Lily of the Desert, whole leaf, preservative free, organic aloe vera juice. Do not use the gel because it is juice thickened with carrageenan and not gel. Mix this in the appropriate ratio in a glass bottle, I prefer a dropper bottle. The products when mixed will cause a heat reaction for a few minutes. This is a chemical reaction and normal.  The reaction indicates you have real product and should briefly become hot during the chemical reaction as the DMSO bonds to the carrier.  When using a dropper bottle, you can easily measure and apply a few drops quickly to a small area like a knee or ankle.

For larger coverage areas–  Use either a 50/50 blend or combine 2 tablespoons of 99% pure DMSO to 2 tablespoons Aloe Vera Juice;  mix thoroughly in a glass bottle or glass bowl, then apply directly to the area of application. Allow this to dry completely- which takes about 20 minutes.  DO NOT rub or massage.  Rubbing will cause redness or a skin burn similar to a rug burn. Just leave it alone and allow it to dry.  Skin may tingle or itch, even become red.  This is also normal.  If it is too strong, you will need to further reduce your dilution to a 1 part DMSO to 3 parts carrier for example.

DMSO is a dehydrating substance.  The reason for diluting to a 70/30 or 50/50 product is in order to apply it more frequently to a problem area without drying out the skin.  Between applications you can also apply organic coconut oil to the skin to help it remain more hydrated.  If the skin is too dry you will need to stop using the product for a day and let the skin rest.  This is an amazing product with awesome results if it is used correctly.

If you are purchasing a premixed solution, be sure it is in glass. Do NOT buy product stored in plastic as it will leach out chemicals from the plastic into the DMSO. If mixing it yourself, only combine and store it in glass. What is DMSO is stored in matters just as application to clean skin matters.  DMSO will carry contaminants into your bloodstream just as it will carry pain relief.  Pain relief can be further realized by adding a few drops of essential oils to your blend. Do not use oils like clove or cinnamon for example.  Certain essential oils are too harsh on the skin and should be used other ways and not combined with DMSO.

Remember — DMSO will draw into the body, anything it is combined with. What is on the body will go in the body. So for this reason, be SURE that you have cleaned the area it is to be applied over and use only a pure clean soap, such as castile. Do not apply over lotion or soap residue.

When applying to your abdomen as our example (or wherever your scar tissue/pain/cramping/injury is) use your fingers or a natural hair paintbrush, and apply to the area. DO NOT massage into the skin. Simply lay it over the area. Never use anything synthetic with DMSO. Do not lay a plastic bag over the area like with a castor oil pack because it will pick up and transport into your bloodstream, everything it comes into contact with. This is the beauty of DMSO. DO wash your hands and avoid lotions, creams, soap residue, fragrance, or other contaminants.

DMSO may cause the skin to itch when it is applied and as it dries. This is normal. A rash is not normal. Redness is normal, especially when you first start to use it. Redness can be reduced by changing the area it is applied to each time so as to avoid repeat application to just the same area over and over without resting the skin, especially sensitive skin. If using it on a particular area, such as your knees, alternate from one knee to the other and you will experience less redness. If the area becomes too irritated, just stop for a couple of days and then begin again. The redness is not dangerous. It is an irritation from the effectiveness of this product caused by its strength or dehydration of the skin which is unavoidable.

Allow the mixture to dry. Once completely dried—

If you wish to follow with a hot castor oil pack, then you can apply this after the DMSO mixture. If using a castor oil pack, use the flannel with the castor oil and cover the area with another cotton towel but do not use plastic. Use the hot water bottle as normal. Waiting at least an hour or two after the DMSO application before applying the castor pack is probably a good time gap.

Note: After you have applied a 50/50 DMSO mixture a few times, if you think your skin will tolerate a stronger application, you can increase it to 70% DMSO to 30% Aloe Vera Juice or Colloidal Silver liquid. Persons with red hair tend to have more sensitive skin so a 50/50 mixture is generally recommended. DMSO applied to areas below the waist (such as on the knees for example) (not including genitals) will tolerate a higher concentration more easily. You may also often develop a garlic-like odor on your skin or breath. This is due the high sulfur content of DMSO which is why it is so effective. This is normal and stops as soon as you stop using it.

Enjoy using DMSO and search the internet for more ideas on its benefits. It really is amazing and we are blessed to have it available. I carry both the 70/30 DMSO mixed with either Aloe Vera Juice or with Colloidal Silver. I also mix it with Lugol’s for applications to keloid scars.
