update on changes for topical HAO.
I used the traditional recipe for HAO but changed the coconut oil for shea butter. The concoction didn't blend really well. Might be due to not having it hot enough for mixing. But I went ahead n added a ml of soy lecithin to emulsify, n heated it some more to equally blend the hao. It then mixed evenly.
I applied it generously to my knees n lower back for their sore aching problems I was having. I made a half batch, so about 10g of ingredients in total, with 5g being hash oil. I used roughly half of that over 2 days. I noticed significant pain relief n not positive but I feel like it reduced inflammation in those areas, n around my ankles where I have some problems too. Now its been a couple days since I applied anything n still have noticeable relief in those areas that I have treated.
So for me, early testing is very promising. I will continue to use this medicine when needed n see if its really still helping, or if my situation might have been improved thru the old placebo/power of the mind deal.
On the shea butter change, I cant compare to the topical made with coconut oil, but imo thought that the hao soaked in pretty well. When I took a shower n washed the treated area, it definitely left a slight tackiness, but nothing like pure bho does when it gets on u. I wonder if winterizing/dewaxing will help in the absorption n tackiness issue. which really isn't a prob for me personally, just want to make sure im absorbing all the cannabinoids possible, so not to waste any of this concentrated medicine.
