i would strongly recommend a coconut oil infusion, since it also acts as a carrier oil in lotions. and then you can just swap your canna coconut oil into the recipes.
this is the lip balm recipe i've been playing with, i don't see why it couldn't double as a salve.

and, if it were my mom i were trying to prove a point to, i'd be tempted to cheat a little by throwing a few of these into the mix for the 'liquid at room temperature' oils - tea tree (antiseptic), hypericum (anti-inflammatory), caledula, arnica, rose hip, evening primrose, vitamin e, hempseed, the list goes on....
in fact, you've piqued my curiosity. i'm gonna get some stuff for a fix-all salve and start tinkering it up.

nah. my bad attempt at a joke. I wouldn't say that.I know you're self conscious about taking keeping you hands in pictures because of a thread where a girl left her hands in some pics and everyone called her man hands.

her problem is itching and burning psoriasis rashes, its ran in the family for 5 generations..i hope i dont get it... its mainly due to
stress and then she dries out even worse cause shes dehydrated from drinking to much wine and not enough water

actually, i think that might have been badkittysmiles' thread.... there's a series of glycerine-related posts in this thread too, but nowhere near as detailed or user-friendly as hers (which, in case you were looking for it, is a sticky in the cooking section): https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/445920-16000-watts-medigrow-og-kush-6.html#post5986803 ..... it might be worth noting that i wouldn't recommend using the glyc tincture straight on psoriasis -- pure glyc can cause irritation on sensitive skin.... which is weird, because added to stuff it's supposed to be a great hydrophilic emollient.
dead easy coconut oil method here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/445920-16000-watts-medigrow-og-kush-52.html#post6600739
as for your mum: i get a feeling it would at least help to start taking vitamin e and evening primrose oil internally -- certainly helps with the eczema, which i grew up with.... actually, several dietary somersaults later, it rarely ever bugs me; maybe a little when winter turns to spring.
for her topical, here's what i'd do (and will be trying, later):
20% Beeswax (white or yellow pellets or solid blocks) -- could also use 'soy wax'
25% cosmetic grade oil that is solid at room temperature (Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Aloe Vera Butter, Palm Oil, Mango Butter, Shea Butter, etc.) -- i'd use canna coconut oil for this oil;
15% cosmetic grade oils that are brittle at room temperature (Cocoa Butter, Candelilla Wax, Pal Kernel Oil, etc.) -- i just happen to have a bag of cocoa butter leftover from some earlier chocolate-making experiments, although palm kernel oil might be easier to track down in some places;
40% cosmetic grade oils that are liquid at room temperature (Caster Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, Aloe Oil, Jobo Oil, Hemp Seed Oil, etc.) -- this is where i'd cheat a bit; normally i just use grapeseed oil here, but for a 'healing' salve, i'm going to use a blend of medicinal herb oils. i've just ordered hypericum (st john's wort flower - antiviral, antifungal, antibac, anti-inflammatory), calendula (antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, source of carotene, vits a & e), rosehip (high in E and fatty acids), and evening primrose (fatty acids, anti-inflam).... i always have tea tree oil on hand so i'll be using some of that. if smell isn't an issue you could throw some neem oil in there too (preferably cosmetic grade) -- it's a staple of ayurvedic medicine and supposed to promote clear skin.
it's best if you can work your percentages/ratios out by weight, rather than volume.
just one more thing (because mr kitty hasn't quite grasped this one yet): "solid" at room temperature means "not liquid" -- it's ok if this is a soft solid, like left-out butter, or kind of crumbly, like mango butter, which is.... for lack of better description, suet-like in texture. "brittle" at room temp means "hard solid" -- like chocolate, soap, or wax.

also: keep track of whether you get essential or infused oil. for skin applications, infused is generally considered better; essential oils tend to lack skin absorption and can be somewhat volatile (ie irritant) at full-strength.
say for instance i have calendula infused oil and calendula EO. if i had a recipe that called for an ounce of liquid oil, i'd use the infused at full strength. whereas i'd put a few drops of the EO in an ounce of liquid carrier oil, like grapeseed or olive.

perfect, you probably know more about absorption rates, etc. etc. than i do.

thanks jyer!
winter just arrived not too long ago, but i think she's leaving already. 2 feet of snow followed up by 3 days of rain, the neighbour's basement flooded and there were some tense moments during The Melt, but, now that the worst of the slush is over, i've noticed that my rosebush and some of my ornamental trees have started to show signs of life.....

yeah, i can see why tahoe would get bent out of shape over lack of winter. sort of like when we had the crappest snow-free winter the year the olympics came.... big piss-off.
in other news, my handmixer crapped out so i had to go get a new one. it's...... it's ..... <3 <3 <3 PINK <3 <3 <3

Alright! Got yourself a new mixer. I burnt out two before I got this big mama for xmas. OOOOh miss Mello...guess what I have discovered? I make banana bread with honey butter. All canna of course. Well, I have extra honey canna butter in the fridge. I wake up coughing all the time so I let a spoonful of the hcb melt down my throat. Worked like a charm - and I slept a couple hours.

mmmm...... sounds moist and dreamy.... i can't make banana bread. i mean i CAN but there's a lady in our circle whose banana bread has a reputation... you know how it is.
speaking of honey.... i finally seem to have achieved a stable consistency that i like with the lip balm, but i swapped honey in for the glycerine (<- preservative and shine) .... i can't stop licking my lips!
