Think of it as your very own “Felix Felicis” potion, guiding you towards a more comfortable life—minus the magic wand, of course!

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying DMSO Topically

Let’s get into the nuts and bolts of how to apply DMSO topically. Here’s a straightforward, easy-to-follow guide that will have you using DMSO like a pro in no time.

1) Clean Your Hands and the Application Area

We love DMSO because it’s an amazing carrier! It enhances the absorption of anything it’s applied with—or that’s already on your skin. This is why we expertly blend DMSO with the highest quality essential oils, vitamins, and minerals. So, ensure your skin is free from any lotions, oils, or perfumes.

Remember, cleanliness is next to pain-free-ness!

2) Patch Test First

Why do we say this? Isn’t DMSO safe to use? Absolutely! But due to the high potency of DMSO, you might feel a warming sensation or slight itching or tingling—this is normal and usually subsides quickly.

We want you to know what to expect! So, before first use, apply it to a small area on your forearm to test your skin's sensitivity.

Allow it to be absorbed for a few minutes (5-20, depending on your sensitivity), and then wipe off any excess. If irritation persists, rinse with cool water.

3) How to Apply DMSO Topically for Relief

You can apply DMSO directly to your skin with clean hands, or if you prefer, use a cotton ball. Allow it to dry for up to 20 minutes, then wipe off any excess.

We don’t recommend using gloves, as DMSO can degrade different types of materials, including plastic. Ensure your skin is dry before you apply lotions, sprays or put on clothes.

Some people have reported experiencing a slight garlic smell or taste after applying DMSO topically. While this might seem odd, it’s nothing to worry about. But if you’re not a fan of garlic, Herbal Mana's DMSO Creams and Gels are formulated to counteract any lingering smell.

How Much DMSO Should I Use?

For optimal results, apply DMSO to an area larger than where your pain is. For example, if your knee is bothering you, apply it about six inches above and below the knee, covering the entire circumference. If your hands hurt, apply it up to the middle of your forearm.

Dabbing DMSO on can help reduce irritation while rubbing it in allows it to work faster and last longer. But you know your body best. Experiment with the amount you use to find what works for you. Soon, you’ll know exactly how much to apply for optimal relief.

A certain toilet paper brand stole our tagline, so remember that with DMSO, a little goes a long way! Start small and add more if needed. With consistent use, you’ll need less and less to achieve the relief you’re looking for.

How Often Should I Apply DMSO?

Depending on their needs, some people apply DMSO 1 to 6 times a day. Different dosages are recommended for different conditions. For example:

• For nerve pain, apply it 4 times daily for up to 3 weeks.
• For osteoarthritis, apply it 3 times daily for up to 3 weeks.
• For shingles, apply it within 48 hours of the rash appearing and then every 4 hours for 4 days.

Consistency is key but always listen to your body to ensure you’re using it safely and effectively.

How Long Until I Feel Results?

Typically, the benefits of DMSO are felt within the first three weeks. Relief can be almost immediate for acute conditions like muscle cramps, daily aches, or burns. Chronic conditions may take longer—up to six weeks or more for a noticeable change. Some patients report needing up to six months for maximum benefit, depending on the condition and individual.
