The roll-on bottle of DMSO (black & green bottle) arrived today & there is a big difference in the initial application from the feed store gel (white & blue bottle) I was using.

Reviews of the green bottle had a lot of complaints of itching or burning when first applied. I experienced nothing using the blue bottle. Rubbed it in, waited for it to dry, went on with the day. But with the new green bottle there was definately an itching. It passed in 15 mins or so, but makes me assume there must be either a big difference in concentration or some other ingredient.
It's too early to tell if there's any big relief/healing yet especially since i took ibuprofen before leaving the house.
I'm using it on: big toe bunion, aching instep & ankle on left; swollen/stiff knee on right; bursitis in right hip & lower back feeling like sciatica is coming back; and a little cyst looking thing at the base of my left pointer finger. See... I need it as a bath oil! 🤪

I use the gel version of the DMSO Store brand. Occasional it itches, occasionally it burns a little. No rashes, no issues have followed. I personally think sensations have something to do with what the DMSO is encountering.

I forgot to clear the leaves back around Christmas so the blooms are a lot fewer this year. There are a dozen babies that were just planted last fall, hopefully they will be ready to bloom next winter.
I just LOVE these little plants. Before crocus & daffodils sprout, these are blooming.
