CBD Pain Cream: How To Make CBD Cream For Pain | Evans Road CBD Store

The incredible health benefits and seemingly endless uses for cannabis are still being discovered, but the emergence of cannabis-infused topics is one of the most prominent new trends.

Infused lotions, salves, or balms are a great item to keep on hand as they have been demonstrated to provide immense relief and anti inflammatory properties from chronic or acute localized pain or sore muscles. Because the topics are applied directly to the skin, they ‘re not going to get you high, which means they ‘re a great pain reliever to use at work or during the day when you can’t take CBD oil responsibly to relieve painful symptoms.

Making CBD lotion and salve filled with cannabis isn’t as complicated as you would imagine. If you’ve ever made butter or oil that has been infused with cannabis, the recipe is surprisingly similar and can be used in several different ways.

Ingredients:

  • 7-10 grams of ground, dried cannabis
  • 1 ½ cups of coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup olive oil (optional)
  • 1/3 cup beeswax
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 saucepan (or double boiler)
  • 1 jar
  • 1 cheesecloth
  • A few drops of essential oil (your choice)

Preheat your oven to 240 degrees Fahrenheit and spread your dried ground cannabis on a baking sheet. When the oven is preheated, decarboxylate your cannabis in the oven for 25-30 minutes.

Place your coconut and olive oil in the saucepan or double boiler over low heat while your cannabis is in the oven, and stir continuously.

Remove your cannabis decarboxylated from the oven and mix in the coconut oil. Keep low heat and continue to stir the mixture of cannabis and oil for 20 to 25 minutes.

Note: Keep the heat very low, especially when using a saucepan and not a double boiler – if the heat gets too high, you will scorch the cannabis and burn off the THC, diminishing the potency of the oil. This is particularly true if you use olive oil in your recipe because olive oil has a lower smoke point than other oils.

Remove from heat after 25 minutes, and pour the mixture into the jar through a cheesecloth. Deposit aside.

Add the beeswax and heat into the same saucepan or double boiler until it is melted. Slowly add the infused coconut oil, as the beeswax melts.

You can add essential oils to your mixture as well – we recommend lavender, peppermint, or oils from tea tree. Just a few drops are going to do.

Once the beeswax and coconut oils are thoroughly mixed, remove from the heat and transfer to your infused salve containers.

How to make CBD infused lotion or CBD cream for pain

Increase the amount of olive oil (or any other type of oil – we recommend vitamin E oil or sweet almond oil) in your blend to increase the fluidity of your cream.

  • 1 cup aloe vera gel
  • 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil
  • 2 tablespoons shea butter or cocoa butter

Increase the amount of olive oil (or any other type of oil – we recommend vitamin E oil or almond oil) in your blend to increase the fluidity of your cream.

Bear in mind that your lotion is always going to be relatively thick, so we don’t recommend putting it in a lotion pump.

If you’re not sure which containers to use, many cannabis flower (part of cannabis plant) containers can be used for topics and full spectrum CBD lotions, too. The classic 4 oz is our personal favorite. Glass canning jar easily purchased in bulk, and useful for a variety of purposes.

And there you have it!

Your homemade CBD salve won’t last forever, but storing it in a cool, dark place will help preserve its longevity. Just rub salve on the affected area, and sit back and relax while the activated THC works magic on your aches and pains.

Other creative ideas:

  • Tinted lip balm: A quick and easy way to make your own natural lip balm is to add frozen raspberries to your coconut oil and beeswax mixture.
  • Flavored lip balm: A teaspoon of honey will add sweetness to your balm and try a teaspoon of cocoa powder for chocolate-flavored lips if you’re feeling adventurous.
  • Arthritis relief: Consider adding a teaspoon of cayenne pepper for effective relieve pain if you suffer from arthritis pain or other aches and pains. However, be careful and keep your eyes away from any cayenne-infused lotions (or lotion-covered hands).
  • Headache relief balm: If you suffer from migraines it’s fairly simple to make a headache relief balm. To your coconut and beeswax mixture just add 15 to 20 drops of peppermint, lavender, tea tree, and eucalyptus oil each. For best results apply sparingly to your temple and neck nape.
  • Calming sleep balm: For a calm, relaxing balm, add dried rose petals and chamomile oil, or tea leaves. Apply a soothing sleepytime aid to the soles of your feet before bedtime.
