DMSO Dimethyl Sulfoxide

Welcome to DMSO Dimethyl Sulfoxide is an extremely underreported and underrated penetrant solvent that is inexpensive and can be obtained at most farm supply stores. Veterinarians and farm owners know about the properties of DMSO and they use it in the field every day. 

DMSO, or dimethyl sulfoxide, is a highly versatile and widely used solvent that finds numerous applications in industrial settings. Some of the many ways that DMSO is used in industrial applications include:

1. Solvent for chemical reactions: DMSO is an excellent solvent that is used to dissolve a wide range of chemicals, including salts, acids, and bases. This makes it ideal for chemical reactions, where it can dissolve and facilitate the reaction between different chemicals.
2. Polymer manufacture: DMSO is a common solvent used in the production of polymers, including nylon and polystyrene. It is used as a solvent to facilitate the polymerization process and help dissolve and mix the various chemicals that go into producing these materials.
3. Metal cleaning: DMSO is also used as a solvent in metal cleaning applications, where it is used to dissolve and remove grease, oil, and other contaminants from metal surfaces prior to painting or coating.
4. Pharmaceutical production: DMSO is used extensively in the pharmaceutical industry as a solvent for drugs, especially in the early stages of drug development. It is used to dissolve and mix different chemicals and to help carry them through the body when used in topical or transdermal drug delivery.
5. Cryopreservation: DMSO has unique properties that allow it to be used in the preservation of biological tissues and cells, including in cryopreservation, where it is used to preserve cells and tissues for transplantation or research purposes.
6. Analytical chemistry: DMSO is used in analytical chemistry as a solvent for sample preparation and analysis, as well as a matrix for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry.

Overall, the many uses of DMSO in industrial applications reflect its versatility and ability to dissolve and facilitate reactions between a wide range of chemicals and materials.

There are also some other uses of dimethyl sulfoxide that raise one’s curiosity, such as

1. Veterinary use of DMSO: It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for topical use on horses. Though veterinarians depend on DMSO to treat horses for the treatment of muscle trauma, tendinitis, laminitis, and arthritis, they also use it on other animals as well.
2. Authorized Use on Humans: DMSO is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever for bladder inflammation, and to treat symptoms of a disease called interstitial cystitis. DMSO is being studied as a potential treatment for various conditions such as osteoarthritis and cancer. However, it is important to note that DMSO has potential side effects and the FDA warns that it should only be used under the guidance and supervision of a qualified healthcare provider.

I wonder what other uses DMSO or dimethyl sulfoxide could be used for that may promote the health of the human body?
