Did you know that every part of the cannabis plant is useful? Here's a recipe from my old pal Dizledot that tells us how to extract a topical oil from the roots. It's just the thing for arthritis or muscle pain. And you Puritans will be glad to know that it doesn't get you intoxicated, just relieves pain.
Thanks Diz!
Don't Throw Those Root Balls Out!
Did you know that hemp or marijuana root is used to relieve muscular and bone aches, reduce swelling, ease pain, rejuvenates circulation, promotes cellular growth, and encourages deep tissue healing.
I try to use every bit of the plant, waste nothing is my motto! There are old recipes out there dating back years and years documenting the use of roots and stems.
If you are like me and looking for a homeopathic use for the roots start with a topical liniment solution using rubbing alcohol, dried and finely ground roots......
Ingredients:
1
root ball thoroughly cleaned and dried. Wash and re wash with water
until all soil is removed from fresh roots. Make sure you have dried or
dehydrated it to the point where the roots are no longer soft and
pliable.
1 bottle of 90% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
Method:
Grind root ball to a fine powder, open a bottle of 90% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), pour approximately 1/3 of contents into a separate container for storage.
Using a funnel with an opening appropriate to container, pour in ground material, shake well, then store in a dark place, shaking every few days, for 1-2 months.
Strain out material before using, with a cheesecloth or coffee filter, apply liberally to affected area for pain relief, as needed.
