Author: Eva Keller

Discover how to create your own original hemp ointment! This guide will walk you through the process, which is not only therapeutic but also a rewarding experience. Making your own medicine can be deeply healing for you or your loved ones. The preparation process itself is beneficial, and putting positive energy into making the ointment enhances its healing properties. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started.

Ingredients

• 1 kg of Unrefined Vaseline (yellow) or lard
• 50ml of BIO hemp seed oil (extra virgin)
• 2 packages of CBD tea (35g each)
• 20g of marigold blossoms
• 2 chili peppers (for a deep heating effect – ideal for muscles, joints, and pains)

Tools

• Pot (a pot for milk is ideal)
• Fine cloth (or a fabric handkerchief)
• Jars or tubs with lids

Recipe for Effective Hemp Ointment

Step 1: Dissolve the Base

• Dissolve Vaseline or lard at a temperature up to 80°C.

Step 2: Add Plant Materials

• Add the crushed parts of the plants into the mixture. For simple infusing and straining, you can place the plants into a teabag (available at grocery stores like DM).

Step 3: Steep the Mixture

• Let the mixture steep for two hours and then allow it to cool down.
• Let the base for the ointment sit for 1 week in a cool, dark place.

Step 4: Repeat the Steeping Process

• Warm the ointment up again for 2 hours to approximately 80°C and repeat the infusing process.
• Let the ointment cool down and then let it sit for 1 month in a cool, dark place.

Step 5: Final Preparation

• Heat the ointment one last time until it liquefies and add the hemp oil (do not warm up anymore afterward).
• Strain the ointment through a fine cloth to remove the remnants of the solid parts of the plants.
• Fill the warm hemp ointment into clean jars or tubs with lids.

And that’s it! For the best results, store the ointment in a dark and cool place. Use within 3 months of making. The ointment should have a greenish color and a significant hemp smell. It should not contain too many plant parts, as they could irritate the skin.
