I use the DMSO cream on my sore muscles. I choose the rose scented cream. Rub it into my hip and thigh. The pain relief allows me to sleep through the night. Sometimes I forget to use it and it doesn't take long before I get out of bed and apply my trustworthy DMSO cream..I wouldn't be able to sleep without it.I never write reviews but I had to with this product because of the amazing life changes results I’ve seen so quickly. I am a former division 1 football player, that has suffered a number of injuries and currently 32 years old. I fractured my clavicle, tore my shoulder labrum almost 360 degree and undiagnosed rotator cuff issues in both shoulders. I can pretty much do every exercise expect bench a lot of weight (I also have a high pain threshold and can work through despite injuries not suggested) I must say since I’ve been using the DMSO cream the arthritis and tendonitis that have plagued both my shoulders have subsided, and surprisingly the inflammation went down as well. I had the injuries well over 10 years, I feel strong again and almost no pain anymore. I probably would feel even better but after seeing overnight results I gave the cream to my Mom who has had overnight relief, as she fell and hurt her back. I’ll be ordering another for myself soon and already have one making its way to my grandmother in Jamaica who has been plagued with arthritis. The only thing you’ll experience is that garlic taste in your mouth. Do your research DMSO is what is known as a transdermal carrier and is able to get any thing in your system quite quickly. I definitely recommend 5/5.I am happy a friend of mine told me about this. It really helps with my joint and muscle pain. Use it as much as you need. For tendinitis it really helped.Product has great smell and is easier to use than straight liquid DMSO. Close to instant pain relief for me. Also I’ve used a little bit under my eyes and helps with puffiness.I’ve used this product for a couple of years. Love the scent. Definitely recommend.You can't find any videos on line about how to use for bruises, probably because you aren't supposed to, so I experimented. I have a chronic health issue that requires blood tests quite often and injections several times a year. With that many pokes, inevitably there will be a few that bruise when they miss the vein on the first try. It can look like I am some sort of drug addict when wearing short sleeves and makes me very self conscious.When using this, I applied it generously to the surface of the bruise, using a q-tip. I did it twice a day, for two days on a horrifically dark bruise that even had a raised, hardened line about a quarter inch in it. No idea why, maybe they were searching and scraped along the inside on my arm. This stuff worked to making it a barely noticeable, small yellow, as it might have normally reached after several days. I stopped and let it finish on it's own, which was basically gone by the third day. I already noticed results of quicker healing after the first application.While the bruise was dissappearing quickly, the surface bacame a little pick, it he'd a little and peeled a very little when scratched. I have fair skin, Celtics ancestry, so a lot of things can do that too me. I will experiment with using a little less per application and/or cut back on frequency, next time.Lastly, I was worried about it being rose scented. As a guy, I really didn't want to smell like roses, but it ended up being not as flowery smelling as I worried it would be. It is pleasant smelling, not strong and I would say it is unisex in it's smell. Now I just reviewed this giving details about a usage that this product is not FDA approved for, so use at your own risk for bruising. If I were still in sports, where bruising can be a daily occurance, I probably wouldn't use it that often, because of the warnings. For me, it is perfect to keep on hand for the occasional dark bruise in areas that I want cleared up quicker.SúperRecomendado, quita el dolor inmediatamente, y permanentemente, ayuda con la circulación sanguínea, mejora la irrigación, se absorbe muy bien, olor agradable.I love this product
