Pharmaceutical DMSO
Pharmaceutical DMSO, The Wonder Compound and its Applications
There are several wonders hidden in this world, in nature, waiting to be found.
Who said there are seven wonders in this world?
I firmly believe there are millions. Millions that we know of already. Imagine adding to this number the undiscovered wonders.
Let’s talk about the applications of one such wonder COMPOUND. DMSO, or dimethyl sulfoxide, is an organosulfur by-product of papermaking that is used as an industrial solvent. It comes from a substance found in wood.
So, to put it this way, it’s waste generated by the lumber or paper industry.
Use in Industries
DMSO has been used as an industrial solvent since the early 1800s.
From about the mid-20th century, researchers have explored its use as an anti-inflammatory agent instead of just an industrial solvent.
DMSO, with full meaning Dimethyl Sulphoxide, is a glacial biological liquid commonly used as a natural diluent and a radical yet essential forager.
Use of Pharmaceutical DMSO
It has several pharmacological effects, functioning as an analgesic and anti-inflammation.
Its most important property is that it penetrates the dermal or skin layers easily and is a carrier for other drugs and medical agents to enter membranes.
This organosulfur compound is a wonder compound!
DMSO is used as a medicine and dietary supplement today.
The ability of pharmaceutical DMSO to be used topically to reduce pain and hasten healing wounds, burns, and muscle and skeletal injuries.
It’s also useful in treating painful conditions such as headaches, osteoarthritis, and inflammation. The skin easily absorbs DMSO. It’s sometimes used to increase the body’s absorption of other medications that find it hard to reach the target.
Pharmaceutical DMSO is available without a prescription, most often as DMSO gel or DMSO cream form- over-the-counter DMSO cream. It can be purchased in health food stores, by mail order, and on the Internet.
It can be taken by mouth, applied to the skin (topically), or injected into the veins (intravenously or by IV). While it can sometimes be found as an oral supplement, as research suggests, its safety is unclear. DMSO is primarily used by applying it to the skin.
Not just for skin conditions and inflammations, it also has applications in treating eye conditions ranging from glaucoma cataracts to foot infections caused by fungi.
It can also be used to treat skin and tissue damage resulting from chemotherapy for the treatment of cancer and related diseases when it leaks from the IV that is used to deliver it.
People have used it to try to treat wounds, burns, and other injuries.
People have also used it to try to treat such conditions as:
- Migraines
- Eye problems
- Scars
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Scleroderma
There was once a conspiracy regarding pharmaceutical DMSO.
It was believed that DMSO might be the cure for cancer.
If not the ultimate cure, but at least a drug for cancer treatment.
But…The American Cancer Society says there is no evidence to support the use of pharmaceutical DMSO to treat cancer. Using it that way could cause serious delays in getting good and effective treatment.
A recent analysis of studies on the use of pharmaceutical DMSO to relieve osteoarthritis pain found that it was not significantly more effective than a placebo in relieving joint pain.
Scientists and researchers from 1800 till today are working round the clock to tap the hidden potential of this great healing wonder.
To conclude, it’s evident that pharmaceutical DMSO is indeed a wonder drug and not just an industrial solvent. Only time can tell if it has more surprises in store for us!
