Tips On Creating Cannabis Topical Products

For a lot of historical cultures, cannabis was always respected as a revered plant.

And it was “Kaneh-Bosem” that the Hebrews used in their holy oil. When you use cannabis topical products like this, it brings a lot of relief to a number of ailments.

CBD and THC in addition to CBD-A and THC-A are thought to all contain compounds providing a lot of medical benefits when topically applied. Many experts suggest that you use “Full Spectrum topical products because it contains most of the compounds from the whole cannabis plant.

The Choices

If you already know how to cook with cannabis, then you will definitely know how to create cannabis topical products. If you don't want to go through the steps of making your own cannabis topical products, then you could consider buying concentrated CBD oil or THC infused tincture. If you reside in a state that has legalized cannabis, then go to your local cannabis dispensary to pick up your choice of cannabis topical products. It is recommended that you choose a “Full Spectrum” topical product or tincture that has both CBD and THC content. On the other hand, if you do want to create your own cannabis topical products, but don't want to extract the oil from the cannabis, which is required, then you can purchase the oil at your local dispensary. Make sure that the oil is of the highest quality, though.

The Infusion

If you are infusing your own cannabis oil to use, then you would start with extracting the oil from buds and trimmings. You can enjoy considerable savings by using leftover duff or already vaped cannabis. Most of the cannabinoids would have been used up, but you would still have lots of it left over. If you are using the already vaped cannabis to make your cannabis topical products, you will have to use twice the amount of cannabis that you would have normally used when you make cannabis oil. If not, the process would remain the same. Let us take a look at some of the ways you can create cannabis topical products.

Frankincense Oil

Frankincense is well known as one of the gifts that the wise men brought to baby Jesus. It is created using resin derived from Boswellia serrata trees that are grown in regions of the Middle East and Africa. In addition to being used to make incense and perfumes, Frankincense does have medicinal value too. It helps to reduce and alleviate anxiety, pain, stress and inflammation. Studies show that it helps to fight cancer and boost immunity. A few drops of Frankincense oil applied to the skin will provide antiseptic treatment to kill viruses and bacteria. It also helps to sooth your dry cracked skin, tones the skin, tightens the skin and reduces scars, darkened spots and stretch marks.

Olive Oil

Another way to create cannabis topical products from scratch is to use olive oil, which provides nourishment and moisturizing effects to the skin. It is packed with vitamins, antibacterial properties and antioxidants. It can be incorporated into cannabis-infused face masks as well.

Final Summary

The first thing is the infused oil and then a small bottle to store everything in. Put the cannabis oil in the bottle and then add about 40 to 45 drops of the frankincense oil or olive oil.
