Re: Compressing Arms [wasHello, and help]

[Guest guest]

Hi ... Just my 2 cents worth here. One has to be very careful with

plastics of anykind and DMSO because it can chemically react. I

originally thought plastic must be " ok " because it comes in a plastic

bottle. THEN .. when I first started mixing some of my witches brews,

mixing DMSO with other substances, (Aloe, or essential oils, or water

for dilution, etc. etc.) I found out that it COULD melt the plastic

container in some places!! I later read that one should only transfer

to plastic AFTER mixing in glass as it is the chemical reaction that

does it. I prefer now to store it all in glass as well, (although not

disturbing the original containers it comes in). One can feel the

heat of any " mix " with it ... e.g., try mixing a tiny bit of DMSO with

another substance in the palm of your hand ... and it has heat

transfer with one's skin anyway!

Youth serum: Anyone besides me notice the " tightening " effect on

one's sagging jowls, puffy eyes, etc?? Great for a more youthful look

BUT needs dilution with aloe or some such to also keep it from drying

out too much.

Garnet -

your referring to molecular weight is important.

I would keep off any plastics from DMSO when applied to the skin.

It could even transport e.g. plasticizers under the skin.

This could even happen through soaked cotton. Molecules travel to the

warmer place.

The cotton will take some DMSO which I want under my skin.

Why not simply apply and let it soak in.

When I rub it in with a spoon I only do that because of body hair*

which impedes transport to the skin.

Hi Joyce. As for your truth serum, would you have the recipe for that and exactly where on the face? Sounds exciting. Also thanks for the info on plastic. Orrilia

[Guest guest]

Thank you all for your advice. I am of course used to using DMSO, have put it

full strength on my face and even in my ear to cure an abscessed tooth (which

worked). I always use it full strength (sez 99.7% on bottle).

I do feel the need to submerge the arm, maybe hold it in there awhile. This will

intensify the effect and prevent waste (I normally soak paper towels in the

DMSO, then throw them away).

Anybody ever tried PVC? If you try a little on a contained and there's no

*visible* reaction in it, can one assume it's safe? Maybe I'll try a plastic

garbage bag.

Thanks! /\/
