Lately, I've been rubbing a bit of DMSO into my elbows and it's really helped with the joint pain. Is DMSO safe to use long term?
I wouldn't rely on it cuz you don't want to "mask" what's really going on but use it more "as needed". When I do use it, I use it before bed after I shower. Not before training where it might mask the underlying issue.
Also, you won't have any friends if you use it too often for too long.
This right here!!!I never could use DMSO. Even cut 50-70% it still irritated my skin.
Excellent advice!
Until u mentioned it I had forgotten all about the strong garlic like odor.
Welcome to 2022 where odorless is a thing and where a quick amazon search will have such a product in your possession within two days.
Right. Key is to read the reviews. Also limit water and air exposure. As soon as I exposed my solutions to humid air for extended periods or repeated periods, DMSO began to emit a sulfuric/foul odor.YMMV, but the odorless still gave me the sulfur/garlic breath.
If used to transport a compound, PLO gel does not have that side. I don't think it by itself has the benefits of DMSO though.
