There's a great recipe by Brooks Bradley that I bottle in larger amounts and then use in conjunction with whatever effect I'm seeking, putting them into my array of 1oz roll-ons, labeled and at the ready. 75% CS, 15% aloe or glycerine, and 10%DMSO, (added last as it will heat up chemically if added before something else). DMSO is still very effective in its delivery in this surprisingly small amount.
To Brook's mix, I can add arnica tincture, for damaged muscles, tendons, or Gotu Kola, or cedar oil for psoriasis, or Tagamet or reducing the acidity of a highly acid condition, or Lugol's Iodine for an infected wound. The list goes on and I'm sure you all have favorite things you use that you'd like to deliver trans-dermally.
