Im trying to make aspirin/dmso solution for skin application ... what do you think?

[bluefish]

Im not doing well with taking aspirin internally.
I maybe can improve how I'm doing it... but, wether or not I'm doing carefully enough, Ive continued to get stomach issues when I take aspirin... so,
I thought, maybe I could mix it with dmso, and apply it to my skin.

Is there a reason why this wouldn't work?
And if it would work (ie transfer enough aspirin into my skin and into my body), how would I consider the amount I'm getting.

this is what I did this evening:

I bought a small bottle of the regular bayer's aspirin (24 pils, 325mg, so total mixture is 7800mg )....,

I boiled some water, I pour the aspirin into a cup, added baking soda, added boiling water,,, it foamed up a lot. I left it alone for a while (still a thick foamy blob), then I added a little bit of mct oil, and some dmso.

thats it.
I rubbed a bit on my arm.... lol, I have no idea if it would work or not... I cant feel any specific effect. I don't know if it doesn't work at all, or if I added too much Id have adverse reactions so, I didn't want to add too much right away.

thoughts on this mixture, or how to improve it, please share.

Why not dissolve pure aspirin powder directly into the solvent and use a dropper bottle to control dosage?

How would you take aspirin topically

I would like to put it on a tendon , any suggestions as to solvents?

Topical Aspirin Question

This may be a stupid question but can topical aspirin still cause stomach bleeding? I have been applying more aspirin lately on my scalp and I have had severe stomach pain correlated to when I made the switch...

I was using what I had now (bottle of bayer aspirin). I can buy aspirin powder I think.

I tried googling mixing dmso w aspirin, but I didnt find anything....
Im curious if this is a good or better carrier method than the method in your link (isopropyl alcohol or ethanol and propylene glycol).


Ill see how this mixtures go, Im curious if I will be able to feel anything.

edit... sorry I edited my post during your response to my comment... :)

edit: just read your links... thanks! how did you find them? (im trying to figure out how to look up topic on this forum.)

so a reason I used dmso, I thought dmso is a great carrier for other chemicals etc....

I just used the site search function, Search results
You can also use regular search engines to search specific sites, e.g. site:raypeatforum.com topical aspirin at DuckDuckGo

Water, dmso, and ethanol are all solvents. All I was getting at is aspirin powder would be better than pills.

right.. so ill buy some powder...

thanks.
I am realizing recently that aspirin plays a large role in optimizing health... and so far its just too complicated to consume it... hopefully topical will work out.

That's a very handy search technique.

sodium salicylate dissolves immediately in water, even cold. Easy and less prone to cause irritation with dmso or alcohol solution.

Cool. Thanks. I am just learning so this is useful.

Do you have an opinion w water vs dmso vs alcohol as a carrier and how well it transfers through the skin?

It depends on the solubility of the substance but in order of potency:
1) DMSO is the most potent carrier of anything you put on your skin (be careful) but can cause skin irritation (I felt just a burning sensation, but some people got dermatitis, hives etc). There are a lot of threads here discussing potential side effects or potential magical effects.
2) Alcohol (everclear) in general dries the skin but is very good for B vitamins and other water/ethanol soluble things. For example, some forms of magnesium go great with DMSO, but not with alcohol.
3) None side effects, but does not penetrate deep into the skin. Ex: Niacinamide with water has some good topical effects, but not relevant systemic effects in my opinion, but with ethanol, you will have them. I do not think that aspirin with water will have systemic effects (unless a lot of it is in a bath?), but maybe sodium salicylate with ethanol could have.

Thanks. I’ve used dmso a bit, w various degrees of success. So far w the aspirin it’s working well.

You went out of your way to mention niacinamide, with water is topical, and ethanol is systemic.

What’s your experience w that? Have you tried both ways?

W water is it good for the skin?

(I’ve only ingested it and didn’t notice anything, as far as health enhancement.)

Yes!

Niacinamide and Vitamin A on the face are the two best things I ever tried. The first is with water.
With alcohol, I made a mixture with B1, and before writing or lecturing, I rub some on my inner arm. It's a whole different thing.

Are you making these yourself?

I know idealabs makes a b supplement which I’ve used and enjoyed.

I’d love to know how you make them if you have a specific way.

Also I forgot to ask. How does one guess the potency of… say aspirin/dmso when applied to the skin?

ive been using this solution 2 or 3 times a day.... covering my arms with it, and felt great effects... warmer, more engaged, etc.

now , last 2 days, I started to feel kinda nauseous, and just not so great in general.. I didnt put aspirin on my arms today.

I read a few threads about aspirin and saw that vitK is important, so I took a bunch of vitK (idea labs), which immidiatly made me feel back to normal... warm, happy engaged etc... and now a few moments later, I feel slightly nauseous again, and more tired etc.

Im assuming I was taking too much aspirin and I threw my body out of wack. I was really enjoying it, so I know why I was adding it so much.... I felt like finally after a year or so of trying to really feel good, I finally found the trick so to speak...

which lasted about a week, and then ... these things started.

Any thoughts? was it the aspirin? or something else perhaps?

I also had a positive response to aspirin in DMSO a few years ago with my first attempt. I became very low blood sugar but after eating some carbs I felt very warm and positive. I think it increases dopamine a lot too. But I never replicated the effects again after several tries. I’m not sure why. I think you may have to be very well fed to avoid low blood sugar with aspirin in any form. I want to try it again with a purer aspirin powder source.

Ok. That’s very interesting… not intentional, but last few days I have been underfed.

So, what happens if I’m adding aspirin topically throughout the day but on a caloric deficit?
