1 cup Infused raw Coconut oil

1 tbsp Olive oil

1 Tbsp shea butter

2 tbsp Beeswax

add Essential oils of choice (camphor, vetiver, bergamot, tea tree.)

subheading: Mix Salve Ingredients:

I use a metal 1litre measuring container with spout. Slowly heat up your infused coconut oil without burning. You may use a double boiler if you are concerned. Once coconut oil is liquid again, add your Beeswax and Shea butter or Olive oil.

Stir until everything looks completely combined. Keep the salve on low heat at 175 degrees for around 20 minutes or so to completely dissolve the beeswax pellets or your salve may become grainy. Once it is, add your essential oils, stir for a couple of minutes , and transfer it into your storage containers of choice.

The cannabis salve will harden as it cools, and then it is ready to use!

subheading: Storing & Using Cannabis Salve:

Store the finished cannabis salve in a cool dark location because light degrades cannabinoids (amber/colbalt glass jars or salve tins will block UV). Keep out of reach from children.

Apply a thin, even layer to the affected area. You should start to feel the results within 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the severity of your issue and strength of your salve. Repeat several times per day as needed.

When stored in ideal cool and dark conditions, homemade cannabis salve should last up to a year. The potency will only slightly decrease during this time. I try to use clean hands when I dig into my salve jars, to avoid introducing any contamination that could make it potentially mold or spoil faster.

Notes on Strength:

It is nearly impossible to determine the exact potency of homemade oils and salves (without lab testing, not practical or affordable) no matter if you are using homegrown or dispensary cannabis. There are simply too many variables and opportunities (time/temp) for the THC or CBD to increase or decrease in concentration throughout the process.

If you want to scale this recipe up or down, the general rule of thumb for salve is to use about 1 part of beeswax to 4 or 5 parts oil, including both coconut and olive oil. Since I use virgin coconut oil that is solid at room temperature, we can get away with lesser beeswax and the salve will still set up well.
