DMSO is a wonder solvent. Use it on prior injuries to re-establish nerve connections. It works super well on aches and pains. You will notice a dramatic change over time.

Pros: Re-establishes nerve connections, removes aches and pains

Cons: NONE

Works great for taking down inflammation. The liquid form also can be diluted with saline and given IV. Unfortunately if you get it on yourself it can give you a bad taste in your mouth, and bad breath. Also, when given IV your horse will have bad breath as well.

Pros: works well

Cons: odor

DMSO is great for swelling and sorness, but what ever you do don't let it touch open wounds and also your own skin. I have had this touch my skin and it burns and also gives you a horrible taste in your mouth.

Pros: Nice for swelling

Cons: Don't let it touch your skin
