Re: question on DMSO and essential oils

[Guest guest]

Because of DMSO's ability to quickly transport what is on the surface of the

skin directly into the bloodstream, I would not mix it with anything.  DMSO

itself can be dangerous if one uses the industrial grade rather than the

medicinal grade because of the difference in purity.  I use the industrial

grade to disaggregate sandstone in order to prepare fossils but I wear butyl

gloves to prevent penetration of the skin.

Hi, group,

I have chronic lyme arthristis pain. Over heard few essential oils can help

inflammation and pain. Is it safe mix it with DMSO rubbing into the pain area?

expert opinion, please. Helen

My rule of thumb when applying or using DMSO is this.. I only combine

something with DMSO if I would eat it and even at that, I would be reticent

to use cayenne pepper or something like that with DMSO. If you know you

won't get into trouble using DMSO by itself, why take the risk?

Me too.

Well, I am no expert, but I use DMSO (50/50 or 75/25 % with

dmso/distilled water). I roll it on my knees/wrists and then follow up

with high quality essential oils. I have had great results. I use the

50/50 ratio for body parts above the waist, and the stronger mixture for

below the waist.

I hope that helps.
