Twisted Rizla Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm about to make a batch of this. However, there seems to be a bit of variation between the different oils people are suggesting. At first I was going to use olive oil as suggested by the OP but other people came in with suggestions of hemp oil, coconut oil and emu oil. Can someone let me know what the preferred oil would now be please? Cheers TR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalkywhite Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Personally I went with coconut oil @@Twisted Rizla , I can't comment on any other oil as I've only done this a couple of times and always used coconut oil and it works great. I skipped the addition of beeswax because if you keep it in the fridge it will remain in a solid state, and it also meant I could attempt some edibles with it too if i make it potent enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chalky What I'm really looking for is the most effective way I can apply an efficient dose to the skin of a mardy 3 year old who suffers from psoriasis. I'm a bit reluctant to put any essential oils in the mix as the patient is only 3 so I'd like to keep the ingredients as simple as possible. So - coconut oil is the preferred oil to use topically? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalkywhite Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 For me coconut oil works great for topicals, it melts at body heat temp and is easily applied and absorbed by the skin. I've never bothered adding any other oils and find it works effectively on my aches/pains and keeps my skin soft and healthy. I'd definitely recommend it if you're wanting to use as few ingredients as possible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureSmkr Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 @@Twisted Rizla I've had a play around with various different cocktails of oils to see what worked best for my psoriasis, in the end I found a 50/50 cannabis oil to coconut oil worked best. It didn't get rid of it for good as it came back when I stopped applying it but it definitely works for the time you are using it. Emu oil is great but expensive, cinnamon oil gave me a reaction (was probably too strong). Sticking to 50/50 coconut oil & cannabis oil seemed to work best. Good luck mate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madgiz Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I have only used olive oil and hemp seed oil and the hemp seed oil works better, is less greasy and is easier to seperate from the water.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clumsy Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 +1 for Coconut Oil, Mrs Clumsy is using some for dry, itchy scalp (not psoriasis) that I made for medibles and says it is working well. C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road_Runner Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I tried making some with low grade hash, I think I used too much Coconut Oil. I will try again 1:1 with good nug run oil and see how I get on. I think I will add beeswax next time so I can keep it solid at room temps. My Dad keeps bee's so can get some from him.

Twisted Rizla Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Well, I'm almost ready I'm just about to order a slow cooker but have a couple of questions: (1) - I'm thinking of getting a 3.5L Crockpot. It has 3 heat settings - low, warm and high. Which heat setting would I use? (2) - Is there a particular brand of coconut oil that anyone can recommend please?

Clumsy Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hey mate, I have used Optima organic raw coconut oil a few times, seems pretty good, But I use a Kilner jar in a bain marie for extraction so don't use any water, All the best C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
