The solvent DMSO,
Dimethylsulfoxide was popular as an informal sports-medicine treatment for althletic-type soft-tissue structural injuries through the mid-late eighties, nineties, useful for treating injured, strained and slightly torn, ripped connective tissue, ligaments, cartilege -- it's a super-penetrant solvent, great for facilitating absorbtion of meds, assisting getting medication past the blood-brain barrier, and for topical penetration into joints, etc., helpful for relieving swelling by dilating blood-vessels, improving oxygenation and blood-flow to affected areas (for body's healing through improving volume of white-blood cells, flow of cell-repair chemicals, preventing broken-down cell wall integrity and spread of injury, ie., black-and-blue bruising from tissue-injury contamination of cell-decay products, etc. DMSO helps improve cellular integrity and is naturally bacteriostatic--I've used it in moderation with herbal oils to heal skin-breakdown -ulcers, like a bedsore, with great results; Can also be mixed with antiobiotic ointments for skin abrasions, cuts, blisters, scrapes, etc. I'd suggest perhaps intermittant, occasional (3, 4 X week) light massage with DMSO and herbal oils in your wrist and shoulder to improve circulation and reduce inflammation; DMSO is typically available at a veterinarian's office or supply store, as it's often used to treat horse's pulled muscles, tendon tears and etc. leg injuries. It's available in a liquid form or gel -- both useful, but I prefer the gel for ease of use and holding meds and oils in solution. Typically dilite with 10 to 50 percent by volume with water to reduce minor skin irritation such as slight burning sensation, especially in very sensitive locations -- has a garlicy 'taste' and odor, readily absorbed into skin and blood and even taste buds, it fairly quickly is absorbed and passes to all parts of body when applied topically -- small amounts according to common-sense indications-- rubbing or massage not necessary. I think it should be part of everyone's First Aid kit to reduce severity of injuries and improve healing -- useful for burns too, say mixed with aloe vera to improve penetration and absorbtion. Has been shown to have dramatic benefits when used w/i twelve hours (sooner is better) for serious neurological injuries; For a spine-injury, I'd apply it to the general area full strength, even diluted 90-95 percent with distilled, sterile water via IV, immediately and continuously DMSO is pretty benign, repeated studies have found far less side effects of low-level irritation (some delicate skin sensitivity, itching and slight burn, reduced/eliminated by diluting with water) and the minor objection of mild garlicky odor and taste -- than most other mediaction and treatments, drugs, etc. The AMA has lobbied against it because it is so effective for informal home-treatment, first-aid use for many joint-soft tissue injuries, also since it's a solvent it reduces quantity of medication required when used in conjunction. DMSO is a component of most living animals and plants, especially found in the lignin of trees from which it is distilled and concentrated from. Web-search and library resources can provide more information. Definitely hope ya check it out! I can see how using DMSO in a herbal poultice would be a great way to aid the bodie's topical absorbtion of the medication -- also, to prepare a concentrated tincture; As far as that goes, diluted -- say, 50 percent DMSO, in capsules with vitamin M (marijuana), or hashish, would facilitate the bodies' absorbtion. |

dmso will carry anything with it into the skin so make sure the area to be treated and hands are very clean. also, do not allow fabric with dyes to come in contact until after the dmso is absorbed and dries. |
