Who has any experience with using it for inflammation and pain? A PBR bullfighter friend of mine gave me a bottle to try. How do you use it?
DMSO is wild shit. Its an industrial solvent. I haven’t used it in years, but you just apply it topically to an injured or sore area, and it gets the blood flowing and helps recovery. That’s about it. They used to use it on race horses.
But you have to be super-careful with it, because anything in it or on your skin will be delivered right into your blood stream when you apply it. If you put a drop of lemon juice in it and rub it on your skin, you can instantly taste the lemon juice. So make sure you really clean anything area where you apply it and make sure its pure.
It maybe an urban myth, but I have heard kids is SF used to mix LSD with DMSO and swab cop-car door handles with the mixture as a prank.
A chemistry professor told me many years ago that DMSO works by breaking down the cartilage to provide a lubricating effect. Not good to use long-term.
Couldnâ??t find any reference or studies to verify.
