FAQs

Why do I taste garlic after using DMSO?
New Roots notes that a garlic-like taste or smell on the breath and skin is common after applying DMSO. It is a known characteristic of the compound and fades with time.

How much do I apply?
The label directs 8 to 12 ml on the area three times daily. At that rate a 50 ml bottle is used within a couple of days, so it is best suited to short, targeted use.
