Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 I've got an appointment with an elderly lady tomorrow who has a ruptured disc in her back and " other problems " which I don't have any details on. I also don't know what kind of medication she may be on. I plan to do a gentle massage and/or a reflexology treatment on just her feet. If she will let me touch her back, I'd like to use some of the deep tissue repair oil, but I'm uneasy about the DMSO in it, since I don't know what kind, if any, meds she's on. I know DMSO reacts with meds and inhances some and blocks others. Is there enough DMSO in the deep tissue repair oil to cause these effects??? Also, I'd asked earlier about the dosage of BF & C tincture and got only one reply which said 3 weeks on and 1 week off. That's not what I wanted to know. I'd like something a little more specific, like 30 - 60 drops 3Xday or . . . I know it's not rocket science, but there are some limits. Thanks for any help Jennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 There is enough DMSO in the product to enhance the absorbtion of the herbs into the area. Since I don't know what meds she's on I can't answer that part of the question. Personally, I've never had a problem with a patient regardless of meds, so I would go for it if I were you. It is a very intense formula and the longer you rub it in the hotter it gets. Recommend you do the longer massage first with a simple oil and then use the DTR Oil for only a minute or two. If she has a lack of feeling in the area, you can do it longer.
