Balms or rubs?

Jeff Lebowski

Anyone have some good balm or rub recipes? These are non edible preferred, although that would make it interesting.

I think this is from OG.....

I got it so long ago, I'm not sure where I got it from! (Getting old and senile...or am I just stoned?)

WR's Cannabalm (anti-cancer) Ocean of Lotion

All who have tried this on burns and other skin irritations will attest to it's effectiveness.The first part is a version I created using Emu oil,it is an aromatic light oil(like suntan oil) the second portion describes how to turn the oil or any Cannabis oil (recomended; jojoba,hemp,olive,almond,etc) or fat(ghee,emu,lard) into a smooth lotion which can be scented and ingredients such as Vit E can be added(as well as other good skin herbs such as aloe):
First the Emu prep;

Here ya go the Emu oil is important due to it's ability to penetrate the skin fully .And yes I have a special batch of emu goo mixed with tiger balm it tis da Bomb (pun intended)

well I took 1L emu oil and infused 140g resinous leaf and small bud in a double
boiler with 1 pt of anhydrous isopropanol for 1 hr and filtered. then added 2cups
STRONG tincture of cannabis,1cup olive oil,1oz patchouli oil(smells good)and 1
tblspoon of lecithin disolved in 1/2 cup tincture of calendula .yeild 1.5l greenish
lotion type oil with a pleasent yet green aroma.
First trial 2 tablespoons rubbed vigorously over pulled shoulder and collar bone
region(pectoral ,neck ,shoulder, deltoid, rt side only)
First notice a mild waming in region,also stiffness seems less in my hands in the
first 15 minutes after 30 minutes feel a very comfortable "glow", almost opioid,
speading from the region of application.whole region feels loose and
comfortable,especially the region where the dr's split my collarbones for heart
surgery,this area has never completly recovered from the operation and gives me a
lot of pain when I do stenuous activity(wood splitting,overhead work).So far at 45
mins post application this area seems to be much releived.Also this lotion is
pleasent to the skin and seems to penetrate very well as my skin does not feel
"greasy" at all.I have several samples prepared to give to several joint pain
sufferers to try.I will post their responses as they comment,but so far this is the
best topical delivery I've come up with to date and will persue this avenue of harm
reduction for arthritic users.I think there are other substances that could speed
absorbsion.Also the slightly green aroma could be worked with but all in all I call the
Emu oil delivery an astounding success when compared with the many other fats
and oils I've used in the past.(first posted 9/6/2001)

Next i will outline how to take a basic Cannabis oil or fat and turn into a smooth creamy lotion;

Ingredients

24.0 oz distilled H2O
4.0oz strong cannabis oil or fat
1.2oz emusifying wax
1.2oz cosmetic grade stearic acid
1.0oz liquid vegetable glycerin
.3oz germaben ( a natural preservative necesarry to prevent spoilage/rancidity)
.3oz essential oil of your preference(remember the smell your already working with and try to compliment it)
For a cooling sunburn lotion menthol crystals can be added in place of/with the essential oils

Instructions;

Heat all ingredients in a double boiler until melted then whisk until creamy.Add the last two ingredients and whisk thoroughly.
Pour whil warm into bottles.
Makes aproximately 32oz.
All ingredients except the cannabis (and the emu oil and ghee) can be found at www.glorybee.com

Of course one may not get high, but I don't want to. I really need a great balm since traditional cooking is too intense in the manner of which I make it. This is cooking with cannabis so I figured it would be in the right section. Does anyone have a suggestion on an oil to use? I originally had assumed coconut but noticed hemp oil as well. Also, rubs work instantly for soothing relief.

Jeff,

i have a quick and easy solution for you, Get some Good quality skin moisturizer Coco butter works well and is pretty inexpensive pour out a ounce or 2 into a glass cup jar or bowl

blast it for 10 seconds at a time in the microwave till its melty and stir in some keef or honey oil and blast once more and stir again.

over the counter moisturizers have everything you need in them to get good skin penetration. most often i get a warming sensation along with a nice numbing of pain when i use my cream. im guessing different strains will have different effects

use caution when putting it on ur neck, i've had 2 people so far tell me they've felt stoned from it.

Hey Deltronzero,

Details:
Strain used was Third Eye, a cross of SSH and Afghani i think or maybe Afgoo

.5 grams of BHO was mixed into 2.5 ounces of butter cream moisturizer.

from what i understand my friend rubbed it on the back and sides of his neck, for 20 seconds at most and just left it alone, after about 20 min he called me saying he felt super stoned and he thought he was seeing things.
