  This is my first attempt at making this salve, it's made from the roots of the cannabis plant and is used as a topical application. It's uses so far have been for arthritic pain relief to my knowledge, but I don't have any personal experience or knowledge with this product yet. So my thoughts are "why not"? I have taken numerous other prescribed medications to fight this condition and a lot of them with serious long lasting side effects and one that literary almost killed me.

  When I heard @Monkeydo talk about this the hairs on top of my ears stood up, all of them!! lol He's the one responsible for this simple concoction and he got from???   but simple coconut oil and cannabis roots, roots that were going to be thrown out anyway, well that sounds simply wonderful to me, plus maybe some moisturizing while I'm at it.

  My concoction will contain 25 grams of fine, dried, 4 month old roots,(Pink Gorilla) and 14oz/414ml unrefined coconut oil. I'm going to cook it in a slow cooker for 8-10-12 hrs, I don't know if I can over cook it? Then strained and cool. That's the plan, I'll let you know what happens.

  The roots came from a DWC hydro grow, another great thing about hydro. lol  I'll see what happens and report back. 🖐️

  @toploader, yeah man 🖐️ I thought you might. I started to respond to your post yesterday but then I didn't have anything concrete to say just speculation so figured action are a better teacher. No promises on this one but it's worth the price of the oil and I'll at least get soft skin. lol

  Btw, lol correction to the above mentioned amount of coconut oil, just got back from the store, had to pick up another 29oz along with the first 14oz jar to try and cover 25gr of roots. The dry root mass is larger in size than an oz of big fluffy bud but the additional oil now has everything covered and floating. There will be a LOT of product. lol Stay tuned. 👍

Yep, that's much easier. It takes about 45 minutes with a hose to carefully wash the coco out of my roots. DWC would be much nicer to use. I use this stuff mostly on my bad knees. It helps me extend the time between doctor treatments by simply applying at night after the day is done. In the morning they usually feel much better. The literature I found said the roots were used for joint pain and apparently that has some merit. The anti-inflammatory properties of friedelin and epi-friedelanol in the roots are supposed to do the magic. It's not a miracle cure (although some mornings it feels like it) all but it does help me enough to keep making it. Hope it does some good for you too.

That would be Marge. She got her info from someone she was interviewing. Just so happened that I was already looking for way to use the roots and had already saved some.

  I finished my first attempt at Root Salve, I've got to come up with another name. lol I cooked it for 10.5hrs at 250f/121c then drained and strained. Yes it does have a smell and I can't pin point it, but mine had some cinnamon and something else that I couldn't determine. The smell was strong but not as bad as decarbing weed, the smell didn't get real intense till the end when everything is open and getting strained, around midnight, should have started earlier. lol

  I started with 43oz of oil and have roughly 26oz of finished product, now I didn't try and save ever scrap but I don't see 17oz of oil laying around anyway so idk, but I'm not worried just wondering.

  Wondering if I can add a fragrant to it, it doesn't smell bad it's just I've smelled a lot of it and won't mind something different. 

  I did apply it this morning and have very nice moisturized hands, lol but can't tell if it's helping or not. My condition is pretty serve so not expecting much if anything but always willing to try, Boy howdy, Would I. Thumbs Up lol

  @monkeydo, thanks for the great info brother, I didn't want to try and act like I knew what I was talking about so as usual you saved the day. I won't even act like I know what it means but it will be a good place for me to start.

  You know, your a pretty handy fella to have around, lol, that's not just a hat rack you have there and you're pretty good at Monkey pipes too, well I'd better stop or this list is going to get out of control lol, so Thanks man. 🖐️

So this thread is no doubt going to have people that benefit from this medication and some that won’t. Last week I went to the doctor for a check up for a bad knee. I damaged it in a boating accident a long time ago. The meniscus is badly damaged and the prognosis was impending knee surgery. I requested a less invasive treatment and opted for cortisone shots to see if it might help stabilize the problem. My doctor didn’t have much hope for success but agreed to try. The cortisone treatment can only be given once every 6 months max and he thought it would only last a week or two at best. I’m also applying my root cream daily to that knee. Last week it was 6 months since the injection and while I was still walking, it was time for another shot. 

My doctor was completely floored that I made it to 6 month and was still walking albeit with some pain. I explained the treatment and showed him the chemical analysis of the cannabis root. He didn’t discard this and was very interested. He even called in another doctor to see the progress. The only question they had was “does it make you high”. The answer was no of course so I took the opportunity to explain the absence of canabanoids in the root. So after all this I got my next injection and the doctor looked me in my eyes and very serious said, “whatever you are doing keep it up”. The root salve works as a major anti-inflammatory for my knee and takes away swelling and fever overnight better than ice packs have done in the past. It does not work as well on my sore hands but if I add a few drops of regular infused canna oil, it seems to increase the pain relief I get in my hands on the next day by removing any inflammation. This cream isn’t a pain reliever for me but just a great natural way to manage inflammation without NSAID or other drugs that might tear up your stomach. If you try this medication you should take time to experiment on its best use. Like all things cannabis, your success may vary but I can tell the difference on mornings when I used the cream the night before and when I’ve skipped. I don’t skip anymore since hearing the doctors praises. 

One side note.. the smell that Woodi described when making the cream stays around in the medicine but isn’t nearly as strong smelling as when you cook it.

@monkeydo it is great that this is working for you!  I certainly do not like taking NSAIDs, and I have some roots left in pots from my last harvest. I was planning on leaving them and re-planting into the same pots for microbe purposes, but now you have me wondering.  i will have to look for @Woodi2 's post you mentioned.

Well, duh.....  Sorry I missed that -- when I clicked on your new post it placed it at the top of my screen so I didn't realize.  Smile
