From what I understand, sundried tomatoes are inherently easier to preserve than fresh herbs in oil because of the high acidity- I was scouring the internet for pesto canning instructions and came up with a big zero, lol! However this brings up another thing to think about. The skin has its own pH that needs to be maintained for skin health, so I will check and adjust this in my salve. According to a German skin care company's website (sebamed) that is 5.5.
Well with any food grade oil it will have a slightly off odor if it is spent so you could do a smell comparison with some of the same oil used from a fresh bottle. GL
a420seeker Reviewed by a420seeker on . Cannabis-based salve experiments Hola! Okay... This thread got me thinking: http://boards.cannabis.com/medicinal-cannabis-health/159086-your-skin-produces-marijuana-like-substance.html I'm aware that people have been making cannabis creams and lotions here and there, but we've seen sadly little of it around these parts! So I wanted to get some discussion going over here in 'methods'. The two major applications I am interested in are: -Arthritis pain (joint inflammation) -Psoriasis and other inflammations of the skin Rating: 5
