Colloidal Silver and DMSO Mix
Historical claim, not recommended: a reader's anecdote claimed a colloidal silver and DMSO mix dissolved hemorrhoid clots, but both ingredients carry real harms and the claim is unproven.
🛑 RemedyRank warns against this
Colloidal silver has no proven medical benefit and can permanently discolor the skin.

If a doctor has prescribed something for a diagnosed condition, follow their guidance — that is a decision between you and them, and it is a different thing from trying this at home.

🌱 What it is
This is a home mixture of liquid colloidal silver and DMSO, an industrial solvent, dabbed onto the skin over a hemorrhoid.
📜 Where it comes from
A reader's testimony, repeated in an old remedy source, claimed that a nine-to-one mix of liquid colloidal silver and DMSO, dabbed on the area, dissolved their hemorrhoid clots. This kind of single personal anecdote spread through modern naturopathic circles where colloidal silver and DMSO both carry reputations as alternative cure-alls despite thin evidence.
🙏 Begin with prayer
Prayer is the first remedy, not the last resort. Whether you are facing this yourself, caring for someone who is, or simply reading to understand — here is a simple prayer you are welcome to make your own, in your name or in theirs:
Lord, I bring You someone I love who is suffering. You know them by name, and You love them more than I can. If it be for Your glory and their good, restore them to health; and if Your answer is different from my asking, let Your grace comfort and Your presence sustain them. Show me how to help with my own two hands. In Jesus' name, Amen.
“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”— James 5:16
🥄 How to use it
RemedyRank does not recommend this. Try the gentler published options for hemorrhoids instead: fiber, water, sitz baths, witch hazel, and cold compressA cloth soaked in warm or cold liquid, held on the skin. How to make a compress →, and see a doctor for a clotted or increasingly painful hemorrhoid.
How much: None. Not recommended at any dose.
Why it works: The claim supposed the mixture would dissolve the clot, but colloidal silver has no proven medical benefit and can permanently turn skin blue-gray, while DMSO is an industrial solvent that drives whatever it touches, including impurities, straight through the skin into the body.
⚠️ Cautions
- Colloidal silver has no proven medical benefit and can permanently discolor the skin.
- Colloidal silver may interact with antibiotics and thyroid medicine.
- DMSO carries substances, including impurities, straight through the skin into the bloodstream.
- Non-pharmaceutical-grade DMSO is not safe for use.
- A hemorrhoid with a clot causing severe or increasing pain should be seen by a doctor, and any new rectal bleeding deserves a check.
