Hey G-boys and G-girls i'd like to show you my way how to make Hemp Salve.
It's my modification of original Auntie Bushka's Homemade Hemp Salve

Introduction:
Cannabis can be used for the fabrication of various medicinal preparations. One of the most powerful hemp preparations is the hemp salve. Its efficiency was proven already in the 50s at the Olomouc University Hospital, where Prof. Jan Kabelik carried out his famous [FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]research on the antibacterial effects of cannabis indica[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=&quot].[/FONT]

About the history of hemp salve
One of the hospital pathologists cut his finger during an autopsy, bacteria resistant to antibiotics infected the wound and it seemed that an amputation was going to be inevitable. Then someone had the idea to ask for help Prof. Kabelik, who was known for his research on the medicinal use of cannabis. He applied his hemp salve and two days later the wound was already healing and the amputation was avoided.
Inspired with traditional medicine and Kabelik’s experiments, seven years ago I started to manufacture my own hemp salve. I used Vaseline as a salve base because it is better supported by people suffering of allergies than lanoline or other animal fats, although it is not as well penetrating as them. After years of research and experimentations with different fabrication procedures, I finally obtained a preparation with very satisfactory effects and after another years of testing I could be quite sure that my recipe using double extraction (alcohol fermentation + fat) was the right one. The preparation following this homemade recipe is lengthy - 5 weeks, but it is certainly worth of the effort.
Due to the fact that in my country is the preparation of medicines on the basis of cannabis illegal, it was not possible to make any official analyses or clinical experiments. So I had to collect the testimonies of my friends and many other persons, who over the years used this salve for the treatment of their diseases and health problems. The hemp salve is a universal healing preparation with multiple effects. It is combining the effects of an antibiotic ointment with the effects of a salve efficiently relieving arthritic and rheumatism pains. Among others, it has proven to be extremely efficient for the treatment of burns (even of 2nd degree), certain types of eczemas, psoriasis and fungus. You will find the complete list of diagnoses successfully treated with my homemade salve here under. Just pay attention to one thing - the salve should never be used on fresh bleeding wounds!

Some healing or relieving effects of the salve


  • anti-inflammatory effects
  • analgesic effects
  • relaxing effects on muscles and other body tissues
  • muciparous decongesting effects
  • regenerative effects on body tissues

Which diseases the salve heals or relieves as a complementary medicine


  • all kinds of superficial wounds, cuts, acne pimples, furuncles, nail incarnations, corns, certain nail fungus
  • ragged commissure of lips, fever blisters, herpes
  • certain types of dermatitis (including atopical) and psoriasis
  • rheumatism and arthritic pains (up to the 2nd degree of arthritis)
  • torticollis, back pains, muscular pains and cramps, sprains and other contusions
  • phlebitis, venous ulcerations
  • hemorrhoids
  • menstruation pains
  • cold and sore throat, bronchitis
  • asthmatic problems with breathing
  • chronical inflammation of larynx (application in the form of a Priessnitz compress)
  • migraine, head pains

This is my way how to prepare this great medicine:

If you want use this medicine internally then you can make it from oil instead of vaseline. (more in video on the end of this thread)

Tools:
  • Pressure cooker
  • Pot with double bottom or water bath
  • Cloth for filtering (like cheesecloth or similiar)
  • Cups from pharmacy store
Ingredience:
  • 500g of yellow vaseline from pharmacy
  • 60g of big dried leafs
  • 25g of lower dried buds (or trims) (better use some afghani strain with more CBD, CBN, ... inside, for example PERIPHERI using G13/skunk or L.U.I. and it works great)
  • Beeswax (I use 60g of 100% nature Czech beeswax to 500g of vaseline)
Procedure:

1) Take 60g of dried leafs, crush them and put to pressure cooker. Add 300g of vaseline and pour with water to 70% of pressure cooker volume.

2)Put pressure cooker to stove and cook for around 30-40 minutes then turn of the heat and let it cool in room to next day.


3)Another day change water a repeat the process (2), you can use new leafs material. Next day pour out water, resolve stiff cake in water bath, filter through cloth and squeeze it. (i recommend you to use gloves)

8) Put again pot to water bath and use additive (in my case it's 60g of beeswax) and slowly resolve it (Attention!! you must resolve beeswax in some nonmetallic pot)

9)For sure i filtered it again.

10) Pour medicine to cups, let it cool and store in dark cold place like fridge (is possible that in bottom of pot stay some water so pour it slowly and material on bottom let cool and then pour water out).
And that's all. Use it, spread it, love it.

Benefits:
  • Temperature in pressure cooker is around 120-130°C in cooking so decarboxylation is made inside pressure cooker
  • Everything stay inside pressure cooker (no evaporation of substances like essencial oils)
  • Faster than simmering
  • No smell in da house

Thx to:

can you tell us if the using of the salve is localized or does the application of the salve produce mental effects as well. I have a few family members dealing with chronic pain that are elderly but can not really take the psychoactive effects of cannabis. I have pain in body parts from broken bones that healed poorly that cause me pain to fluctuating levels and have tried pain creams but nothing cuts through the pain. I of course have to result to analgesic rx meds which treat the full body which really isn't needed since the pain is localized...But there is time when I use cannabis for pain relief but it is not always the best meds due to the mental effects of cannabis..

your information would really help me out as I suply three family member and friends with free meds and eadibles as I know they cant afford any. So this method could be very useful for them as well as my local ccclub..

will this cream work for this?

will there be any mental effects?

can you describe how it helps you and its effects mentally and physically ?


thanks for the fantastic post and for perfecting the proccess over the last 10 years
 
Wonderful!!! Just browsed the forum and saw this.....Just what I need..
Thanks man!!!! I;m going to get a pressure cooker tomorrow:)

Hey grindkeeper.
Yes it's like you said, hemp salve work locally in area where you apply it with no mental effect (if you doing it according to recipe).
I don't make it primarilly for myself (i using it only occasionally when i have problems, for example: herpes, it worked great for me when i torn my thigh muscle in football (reducing pain, healing), ... ),
but for grandma - she using it for leg ulcer
and friends - dermatic problems, eczema

So yes salve is good for pain reliever too.
Like i said before some strains works better than others for make use some indica strain. I think White Rhino (Medicine Man) will be great.
I dont know anyone who using it for pain relief personally (only from forum) so for detailed information you can send e-mail to bushka and talk about it with her (she has definitelly more experiences (and her english is far more better) than me(y) ;) ) http://www.bushka.cz/bushkaperson/index.html
Hope it helps

Hey key, pressure cooker is not one possibility how to make hemp salve. You can use originall simmering method,
some people simply resolve vaseline pour it to pan together with material and put to oven for 110° C for about 2 hours. After few days repeating this process and it works too.

Thank you very very much for this thread, my father recently stopped taking his cocktail of pain killers, he has had multiple malignant tumours removed from his lymph nodes and is basically missing a large chunk of his neck. Im going to make a batch of this straight away, he doesn't want to get high so this is perfect, I have a seedsman afghani 1 coming down in a week so should be perfect.

Many thanks brother:)
 
great thread love finding out uses for cannabis and i never heard of this stuff before so u learned me somthing new today mate thanks.
 
Hi cosa nostra, I finally am getting around to making this for my father's scar tissue on his neck left from his operations for cancer.

I have all the ingredients except I only had 12g of leaves the rest went moldy, I will still follow the recipe, I have my 25g of buds/frosty trim so I hope it works well, my 12g of leaves are in the pressure cooker now with 225g of vaseline. I will post pictures on this thread if anyone is interested.

Hey Trillion, good you give it a try.
I hope it helps to your father. :)
 
Nice

Thx for this CosaNostra.I was doing something I got out of a Foxfire book.This is easy to follow as well..Hope you don't mind if I photo copy it and share it with some patients..peace
 
Instead of vaseline you can use cocoa butter which is much better than vaseline.Vaseline blocks your pores of your skin, well cocoa butter doesn't do that and it is organic.
To make it much smoothier just mix it with some vegetable oil like Avocado, almond or just hemp.Add some rosemary oil as antioxidant for the fatty acids and some manuka oil as preservative.

It is better to put the buds in alcohol 96% after low temp grinding for dissolving the cannabinoids, evaporate some of the alcohol till you have a fluid hash oil and mix a certain amount with the vegetable oil and than the cocoa butter.

I have to look it up for the recipe.:D

Namaste

Great tutorial. Big Thx!!

I must admit that I havent been aware of of Cannabis salvs for very long. When I recently joined a local compassion club it was the 1st time I had ever heard of cannabis salv.

I definitely will want to try making some when I start cropping my own meds.

If the base is changed will it still help for certain types of dermatitis (including atopical) and psoriasis? I know Vaseline just by itself can help for dermatitis so if its removed I'm not sure if it would still work for that.
