I would think it NOTA GOOD IDEA to mix Castor Oil n DMSO.

It is thought the CO has wonderful healing properties [and it is stressed
that the CO should be cold pressed]  and I would bet the farm that dmso
would do a number on those said qualities.

I will say, as one who has been a devotee of CO packs for yars n yars,
that I have done considerable personal experimentation with using heat in
the co pack application and worked with basically 3 techniques:

        -heating pad
        -prelim warming pack with some sort of low-ish temp convection
heat
        -prelim warming with microwave [20 sec on hi, 30 if the pack has
been stored in the fridge]

        Tho one could immagine problems with all three, I have found NO
problem with any technique and for myself, have used the microwave
technique for years for convenience n speed.

        I will make some more practical suggestions for co packs when
time allows.
