Hybrid holy root balm
I have a hard time following a recipe, whether kitchen or lab, without changes. After making a couple batches of rootbalm, the first straight coconut and roots, the second with cinnamon and myrrh, i decided to add the cancer fighting capacity of olive oil to the mix. Once complete, the viscosity was that of a massage oil. So, here is my version of holy massage oil…………..
3.5 cups of chopped roots (measured by h2o displacement)
1 cup coconut oil
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup myrrh chips
1/2 cup cinnamon bark chips
enough water to cover roots
after cooking 12 on 12 off x 3 days in a stainless pressure cooker, I pressed off the roots in a stainless ricer and filtered. I added ¼ cup of emu oil to aid in penetration. That was refrigerated in a beveled glass container to separate the water from the oil by layering the oil to a solid puck for easy removal.
One final addition……
The adhd is alive and well…. While finishing the above, I was also finishing off some strain specific bho extractions and a mistake requiring an alcohol extraction for calculation…..all in the same oil bath! Big mistake…
While removing the two largest extractions from the bath, the alcohol extraction, being the smallest quantity (about 5 grams by eye) tipped and dipped about one fluid ounce of canola oil….damn….what to do?
I added that to the cooked root extraction, as I have intended a hybrid topical for some time. The results were nothing less then pleasing. The addition of the 5 grams of bho sped the onset of relief, just as I had hoped.
I finished with 1 ¾ cup of product. That would be 14 fluid oz. of root balm infused with 5 grams of bho and one fluid oz of canola oil. Or .176/15 or 1.17% bho approximately; if one considered a fluid oz and an oz by weight equal, which they are not. Does anyone know off the top of their head….oz to fluid oz?
Anyway, for all who wish to increase the potency of their cooked concoction, give it a whirl…….
i'm not quite sure where to post this , so feel free to move it, moderators.
