Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a colorless and odorless liquid that has gained attention for its potential healing properties and diverse applications in the medical and wellness fields. Originally developed as an industrial solvent in the mid-20th century, DMSO has since garnered interest for its unique ability to penetrate biological membranes, including the skin, and carry other substances along with it. DMSO is derived from wood pulp and is classified as a sulfur-containing organic compound. Its remarkable properties as a solvent and its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances have made it a valuable compound in various industries. However, it's in the realm of health and wellness that DMSO has captured the most attention, primarily due to its potential anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and healing properties.

The mechanisms through which DMSO exerts its effects are not fully understood, but researchers believe that its ability to penetrate biological barriers, transport other molecules, and influence cell membranes contribute to its therapeutic potential. DMSO is often used as a carrier agent to enhance the absorption of other substances, such as medications, nutrients, and herbal compounds, into the body's tissues. In the context of healing, DMSO has gained popularity for its proposed benefits in relieving pain, reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, and supporting various musculoskeletal conditions. Some individuals have also explored its potential for skincare, claiming benefits for conditions like acne, scars, and wrinkles.
