DMSO Safety Information
Unless otherwise specifically recommended by your physician or qualified healthcare provider, please follow these general cautions and guidelines:
• For external use only. Do not ingest, inject, or use in the eyes, mouth, nose, genitals, or on other mucous membranes.
• Apply only to clean, dry skin. Always test on a small area first to check for sensitivity before wider use.
• Do not apply over other topical medications, cosmetics, perfumes, or unknown substances. DMSO can enhance absorption of whatever it contacts on the skin.
• Avoid applying to open, infected, or actively bleeding skin unless your healthcare provider has specifically advised it.
• Do not use on poison ivy or poison oak, as it may spread irritating substances more deeply into the skin.
• Avoid exposure to toxic chemicals before and for at least 3 hours after application. If you come into contact with any toxic substance, wash the area immediately with soap and water.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or on children, unless directed and supervised by a qualified healthcare provider.
• Temporary effects such as skin warmth, redness, dryness, itching, or a garlic-like body or breath odor may occur. If irritation is severe or persists, stop use and consult a healthcare provider.
• Stop use immediately and seek medical attention if you experience signs of allergic reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or widespread rash/hives.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from light, with the cap tightly closed. DMSO attracts water; keep the container sealed to maintain purity and effectiveness.
• Some practitioners recommend a multivitamin/mineral supplement (e.g., vitamins A, C, E, B1, B6, zinc, selenium) to support the body’s natural antioxidant defenses. Ask your healthcare provider what is appropriate for you.
• Use only as directed. This product is intended for external comfort/support use and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Wild Yam Cream: Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin and massage until fully absorbed. Use once or twice daily as desired. Patch test prior to first use.
Natpro Bio-identical Natural Progesterone Cream: Please read the insert that comes with the Natpro product, as there are varying protocols for different conditions. Apply 1 pump before bedtime and if needed, once in the morning also. Apply on different areas on the body (arms one day, legs the other, belly another, etc).
General use for women of menstruating age: Use progesterone cream for 14 days, starting after ovulation, and when the next period occurs, stop using the progesterone for the follicular phase, and resume again at ovulation. For general use it’s not necessary to know when ovulation occurs: beginning 12-14 days before bleeding is sufficient.
Peri-menopause and Menopause: Once cycles become erratic and impossible to follow, it’s best to stop following the cycle and use progesterone daily, even through any bleeding.
