Why would it need to be for 20 minutes Juan? I don't have any problem with the oil, as long as it's in liquid form. Let it begin to solidify and it makes me gag. After all this time pre-dosing with coconut oil I'm learning to enjoy the taste.
You make an interesting point - is it the cannabis oil or the coconut oil doing the most to change the stools? For some reason the coconut oil hadn't occurred to me, probably because I know that the ECS regulates the digestive and elimination systems, so I assumed.
You'd think that after 62 years I'd have learned not to make assumptions. I even have a sign to that effect on my front door to remind me.
Everything I've read about oil pulling with coconut oil says that for best results you need to swish for 10-20 minutes. I usually aim for 15 at least but I've been slacking and not doing it at all, for a while now, even though I am quite sure it is beneficial. That tends to be my MO sometimes... neglect all that is healthy, even though I know it is healthy and makes me feel good. I've gotta work on that one. :/
I'd think that the digestion and defecation process is improved due to the team effort of the raw coconut oil (olive oil?) as well as the infusion of the cannabis compounds into it. But that's just an assumption as well. Sometimes assuming is all we have, so we've gotta go with it.
Cheers Sue, I hope all is well!
Hello Sue, just dropping by to say hi and bring positive energy to our Gaurdian Angel. We don't have any answers to the pain cream but will say that the cream we made with your guidance has done wonderful things helping friends and loved ones. Not sure how it works but it does. For us it's been fantastic and I'd recommend trying it no matter what the issue is. Can't hurt to try right?
Blessed Buds and much.
We're a study hall. Let's study something.
When I rub this pain cream into my hands, it reduces pain in other parts of the body, often within seconds. My personal experience has been that this cream, rubbed into the palms of my hands, will relax painful muscles and reduce pain in my left upper back. I'm sure others here who use this cream could share stories similar to mine.
How is this possible? My understanding is that the cream doesn't enter the bloodstream because it doesn't penetrate the skin deep enough to do so.
Anybody care to offer an explaination?
Could it be that with all of the blood pumping through our hands that the THC is absorbed and transferred into the blood stream?
When its really hot here and I can't find relief I always put my hands in cold water and this will cool my body down in no time flat. I read this works because of the massive amounts of blood going through out hands.
So maybe just maybe with all of this blood pumping through its picking up the THC and transferring the pain relief to other parts of the body.
I suspect it is because there are a large number of CB1 and CB2 receptors in the skin. Here is the conclusion from and article on the Distribution of CB1 and CB2 receptors:
CONCLUSION:
The abundant distribution of cannabinoid receptors on skin nerve fibers and mast cells provides implications for an anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive action of cannabinoid receptor agonists and suggests their putatively broad therapeutic potential.
It suggests that the firing of receptors in the hands causes the ECS to create those pain responses in house. Phytocannabinoids calling out endocannabinoids. Just the way we need it to work.
Absorption of Essential Oils by administrator
Essential oils are absorbed differently through several parts of the body. Knowing the absorption of the oils through various areas will give better understanding when it comes to using the oils and deciding which application will work best for you.
[h=3]Skin[/h] Depending on the oil, the amount it is diluted, and the application technique, the absorption of essential oils through the skin varies. Essential oils are minutely absorbed through the skin; a higher concentration of oil will absorb at a higher rate than a more diluted oil. Different areas of the skin are more permeable than others, like the palms of hands, soles of feet, forehead, scalp, behind the ears, inside the wrists and armpits, and will be quicker to absorb oil compared to areas like the legs and stomach areas. Most oils should be diluted when used directly on skin to avoid any possible adverse reaction. Some people may use a mild essential oil such as Lavender directly on their skin, however the safe method is always to dilute the highly concentrated oils.
Generally, drug absorption into the skin occurs by passive diffusion. The rate of drug transport across the stratum corneum follows Fick’s Law of Diffusion (see box below). In other words, the rate of drug transport depends not only on its aqueous solubility, but is also directly proportional to its oil/water partition coefficient, its concentration in the formulation vehicle, and the surface area of the skin to which it is exposed; it is inversely proportional to the thickness of the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum is thickest in the plantar (soles) and palmar regions and thinnest in the postauricular, axillary, and scalp regions of the body. An understanding of the transport behavior of drugs is vital for designing an effective topical or transdermal product, as well as reasonably predicting and comparing drug behavior in various formulations. The latter is of practical importance to the pharmacist who is required to suggest one or more effective drug products out of the many commercial formulations available or to counsel patients on proper use and handling of topical and transdermal products.
Combining the garlic with cannabinoids can only be a good thing, yes?
That would be a great oil to cook a steak in, or to put in the mashed taters. MmmSounds like the makings of a great salad dressing!
