Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 DMSO is a liquid that penetrates through the skin.It doesn't leave any marks though. It was used originally by farmers to give their horses medication instead of trying to make them take it orally. DMSO won't hurt you if it's ingested, but I usually use it externally. Here's the pain relief spray I've given people: 2 oz of Comfrey 2oz Lavender 2oz White Willow bark (Pending on how intense the pain is) If it's severe you can add an oz of valarian root (Only if the pain is extreme) 1.5 CC of DMSO You can spray it over the area that is in pain (It works anywhere) And use it as many times as needed. Hope this helps, ~Kate ________________________________ tnjdavis2000 <davismachine Thursday, January 1, 2009 11:49:33 AM << >> Re: Shooting Pain in shoulders and arms Alternative- Medicine- Forum@ s.com, " tnjdavis2000 " <davismachine@ ...> wrote: > > Hello, > I'm new to this site.

I'm not sure I'm choosing the right means technically to respond, but this is the screen that came up when I hit rely. I had never heard of DMSO before. I checked it out by google and am not sure I quite understand all I read. Is it indeed natural? Is the liquid something I use myself to make up a salve or cream with other herbs and/or essential oils to reduce pain? I try to make as many of my own products as possible to save money and to gain that experience. Does anyone have a recipe that they would be willing to share?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Norma, Thanks so much for the positive feedback. I measure the herbs dried. And yes, it works on pets too. The shop I worked at, and where I still buy my herbs if I don't have them, we had a shop cat, Salem. He goes inside and outside, we try tog et him to come in a night and it's rare that he stays out. Well, one night he was being stubborn and refused to come in, so he stayed out. We didn't know it at the time, but we had a bob cat in the area, a miniature one. The bob cat attacked Salem and my friend, the shop owner thankfully heard Salem's cries and came out, scaring the bobcat away. Salem was left with a huge chunk of skin and fur gone, we sprayed this spray on him, I left out the scent though, and it helped him a lot. Between that and the salve he made, I'm not sure what it was Salem is now back to normal. This was at the end of fall Brightest Blessings ~Kate ________________________________ Norma <pirie Friday, January 2, 2009 4:45:55 PM << >> Re: Shooting Pain in shoulders and arms (A short explainaio of DMSO) Kate, do you make a tea of the comfey, lavender and willow bark, which you then measure in ounces? If this is your method, do you make teas of each individually then combine? Or is this extracts that you add to distilled water to make the measurements? It sounds like a very good remedy to add to my DMSO catalogue, and I bet it would work on some pet injuries as well. Thanks for sharing.
