Making your own cannabis spa: Part 3
Some researchers assume that Jesus was a cannabis user and that the medicinal plant was used in various incidents. The anthropologist Sula Benet, pointed out as early as 1936 that the sacred anointing oil from the Old Testament called Kaneh Bosem contained cannabis. Many still see no doubt in this today.
The following recipe is very close to the healing oil Kaneh Bosem described in the Bible. It is a combination that many patients find very effective and efficient against pain. In this recipe, cannabis and essential oils blend perfectly into an effective preparation. And you can make it yourself:
The ingredients in the healing oil Kaneh Bosem
Cinnamon
The healing cannabis oil contains two types of cinnamon: Cinnamomum cassia and Ceylon cinnamon. Cinnamomum cassia is the most widely available type of cinnamon today. It is cheaper than the other variety. Ceylon Cinnamon is rarer and has a slightly different aroma to Cinnamomum cassia. It is sweeter and more floral. Both types of cinnamon are included in this healing recipe. They provide a warming and pleasant sensation that increases circulation.
Myrrh
Myrrh is a tree resin that is used as a flavouring or often for dental care products. It is anti-inflammatory and effective against fungal diseases. Its earthy aroma goes very well with cannabis. Myrrh essential oil is used in this recipe.
Olive oil
Olive oil is an oil that has been known to mankind for a very long time and has always been used. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and is used in this recipe to release the cannabinodes from the cannabis. Kaneh Bosem healing oil is made with the cannabis base oil. So that should be made first.
Ingredients:
- 120ml extra virgin olive oil
- 15 drops myrrh essential oil
- 3 drops Ceylon cinnamon essential oil
- 6 drops cinnamon essential oil Cinnamomum cassia
- 120 ml Cannabis base oil
All ingredients are put into a sterilised glass vessel and mixed well. The healing oil can be used directly. Because of the cannabinoids and the essential oils, it has great potency and a small amount is sufficient for one application.
Kaneh Bosem oil with dried ingredients
You can also make the oil by putting whole dried cannabis flowers in a sterilised glass jar with dried myrrh resin and cinnamon sticks.
The whole thing is then poured over with the olive oil. All the dried parts of the plant should be covered with oil. Then close the jar tightly and store it in a dark and cold place for several weeks. The Kaneh Bosem healing oil can be used as it is or integrated into other recipes with cannabis.
Cooling Kaneh Bosem Cream
This is a cooling recipe that contains the Kaneh Bosem oil:
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 120 ml distilled orange blossom water
- 60 ml aloe vera gel: freshly scraped from the leaf
- 1 teaspoon sunflower lecithin
- 120 ml mango seed butter
- 120 ml Kaneh Bosem oil
- 3 drops citrus essential oil (orange, lemon grapefruit)
- 2 drops clove essential flower oil
- 3 drops peppermint oil
Put the lemon juice, orange blossom water and aloe vera in a blender and puree everything until a uniform homogeneous liquid is obtained. Now heat this mixture to 80°C in a pan on the stove.
Now put the sunflower lecithin and the Kaneh Bosem oil into another pan, heat to 80°C and thus melt. Pour the hot butter-oil mixture into a bowl and mix with an electric hand mixer. Slowly add the orange blossom water and aloe mixture, stirring constantly.
Now add all the essential oils and mix everything else until a creamy mixture is formed. It is best to store this cream in the freezer and use it within 2 weeks. Therefore, mix only small amounts at a time. This cream does not contain any preservatives.
Notes:
If any cannabis spa mix or homemade cannabis cream suddenly shows changes, gets a funny or bad smell or has not been in the fridge or freezer for several hours, better throw it away.
