I had not thought to use these two together. Thank you. Castor oil has so many good (unknown) properties. My husband has just had 2 discs replaced in his neck. I will try to use it, however his skin is so sensitive, the DMSO can be irritating to him.

Basically the same treatment. I buy castor oil from an Indian shop and pour it into a spray bottle - saves me the mess of rubbing it in. Same with DMSO. To really move things along I bought a TDP ceramic lamp from aliexpress for the same cost as 1 visit to a chiropractor. I found if you read with your elbows propping your shoulders up the lower back is also flexed - not sure if helped but can't hurt. Hint, spray a bit on each shoulder you'll be surprised by the improved flexability.

Putting DMSO over castor oil on the lower back will heal the nerves & over time alleviate the pain. Better yet, use it along with a ceramic lamp for even quicker and more profound results.

I can attest that this works!! After diagnosis of "crushed discs", I found that a layer to castor oil with dmso after it works a charm! I found over time that I had to use less and less of the dmso since it actually heals and not just treats. Studies have shown that dmso corrects the dna back to what its supposed to be in whatever area you're putting it on. Eg. I used the dmso for I think just over a year and now don't have to anymore since those discs were restored to their original function, ie. I don't even know they're there.

This will heal you up! Happy healing.

I buy ANY kind of DMSO. They all work. If my problem is serious, like when I developed Deep Vein Thrombosis after cracking a shin bone, I do indeed drink it internally. It tastes terrible but it works faster this way. I also rubbed many drops on my whole leg for 2 days and I was 90% back to normal and all the way back on the 3rd. I hope this helps!

I order my DMSO online, for whoever has it on sale, so a different brand every time, and it has never ever let down. As long as you get it, you're better off.

Whenever I experience mild stinging on say, a knee or my back, then I back off on my drops-dose or the frequency of the treatments. It's my body's way of saying "I'm doing better now, I didn't need that much", so I listen.

I only buy the 99% Pharma or Food Grade stuff. I don't buy the stuff with aloe gel in it as aloe needs alot of preservatives to keep from turning brown, and I don't want them running thru the cells of me. When I order 99% pure, I am in control of diluting it as well as with what.

Best of luck!

After taking Xrays with my first chiropractor after a bad fall, he showed me how I had almost no cushioning between my discs and that he estimated I had 6 more months without pain before I felt it. Well, 5 1/2 months later I had what felt like a toothache on each side of my lower back. I was like, "hell to the no" and ran for my DMSO bottle.

I like to use it straight and not watered down. I use a thin layer of Castor Oil first as it is the only oil viscous enough to protect the skin. I started with 7 drops on each side, 2x per day. DMSO actually heals on a molecular level, so I needed less and less as time went on.

A few weeks ago I was telling a friend about what DMSO did for me, and suddenly realized I had not put any DMSO on my back in 2 months! So from now on, I will just apply a "maintenance dose" 1x a month to keep things good. So, know how much you started with and be prepared to cycle down by either using fewer drops per treatment or skipping days, etc. It's not like a big Harma med where you have to take it forever and usually need more to get the same result, DMSO is the opposite!!

Happy healing, everybody!

I've used DMSO for years; I'm 73 now. The best is from Dr. Jacob's lab. He researched it for 50 years an F now is 93 and healthy. Make sure to put it on clean skin as it's absorbed and takes other things with it. I take it in my orange juice and externally. It is today modern miracle like aspirin was a century ago. I'm a retired chemistry teacher.so I am aware of chemical uses. I've read every book I could find and watched videos on YouTube. My dog jerked her leash and me and caused me some terrible back and arm pain. I'm getting better using the DMSO directly on the pain areas. It gets rid of inflammation which causes lots of pain. It is absorbed by cells and repairs them if they are damaged including precancerous ones. It's faboulous! Every ambulance should have it.

I had very sore muscles in my back recently from labour and I applied the DMSO gel by hand to my lower and upper back, then I put on by a roller cayenne extract after about 5 minutes. The results: The best heat pad in on the earth. It felt wonderful all day long. It was like an electric heat pad that I could walk around with all day.

DMSO comes from trees.

I had slept on a bad mattress for one night too many. I woke up one day with sharp pains in my back. It made work very difficult, but I figured it would eventually go away on it's own. No dice. One day, after a week of back pain, I took about 1/2 teaspoon of DMSO to help my immune system recover after Lyme. I didn't realize it at first, but the back pain was gone within hours (probably sooner), and it NEVER came back! I even slept on that bad mattress again! lol not smart...

I should also add that some people are very sensitive to the smell of DMSO, and I "offended" at least one person.

Found some roll on DMSO in a closet I was cleaning out and found your website. I have lower back pain and I put some on it. Already, it feels good! Thank you, Lucinda
