DMSO is the common name for dimethylsulfoxide; this unique compound has therapeutic properties that allow for accelerated crossing of tissue membranes, with the skin in particular. For topical use, this hybrid compound delivers intense, targeted relief from the acute pain and inflammation of arthritis. It also bears long-term benefits with improved fibrin formation, the clotting process essential to wound healing, and better microcirculation, critical for the function of all organ systems. DMSO is a robust antioxidant, with the ability to stabilize cell membranes and protect them from free-radical damage. It reduces leakage from injured cells and destroys free radicals that provoke inflammation. This organic form of sulfur may also serve to promote cartilage formation; wear-and-tear of cartilage is among the primary causes of osteoarthritis.
