DMSO and Aloe
I had read in numerous places about the benefits of 70% DMSO for joint and muscle pain, but no where did it mention how it affects the skin that it is applied to. The packaging for this particular product does state that this is a solvent and that it is not recommended that you use it on your body, yet they sell it with aloe vera and this was not mentioned anywhere in reference to the product as I was looking to purchase this online. My wife and I both used this several times and did notice some relief for the pain we had been experiencing but we had to discontinue using this after a couple of days because it dried out our skin so bad that it looked like old leather. I can't imagine what would happen if you used this 7 days in a row much less for months. I guess if you are experiencing terrible pain, this would be a price you are willing to pay, but we weren't. This should have been mentioned somewhere in relationship to the product so we had this information to help us make our decision. We also purchased a bottle of the liquid and we are now stuck with over $25 dollars worth of product that we will never use again.
