knottwhole Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Most patients that I know who use tinctures topically use the oil based or glycerin tinctures. Unless you're using motor oil,(joke), they should be safe for oral consumption. Dizledot has a wonderful preparation that uses glycerin to take the bite out of alcohol tinctures. Tasty and sweet but sugar free. http://michiganmedicalmarijuana.org/blog/65/entry-147-glycerin-tincture/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mememe Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Alcohol in general is not good for joint pain. Also avoiding coffee, red meat, pickles, vinegar (except apple cider vinegar) citrus, white flour, processed food & sugar may help. Cayenne & glycerine (equal parts) mixed and rubbed on the area may help. Do not use on broken skin. Disclaimer-use at own risk, these statements not endorse by FDA etc. I am not a Dr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedScientist Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hey Grampa, I do something you may want to try? A stem soak... after harvest, I cut all the stems up into about 1" pieces and cram as many as I can into a glass jar w/lid. Once completely full, I fill the jar with 91% rubbing alcohol and let sit for several weeks. The longer the better. It makes a good topical muscle relaxer, and joint pain releiver. I realize it doesnt take care of your immediatte needs, but if you get into a habit of doing it each harvest, after awhile you will have plenty on hand for yourself and patients. I recently combined several smaller jars into a 1 gallon jar with new stems from my last harvest to increase its effectiveness. Good Luck +rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxman711 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Has anybody ever made a tincture using a transdermal such as DSMO? If so what were your results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dizledot Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Check the blogs. I have a topical made with witch hazel that is less drying to your skin and I also have some cream and lotions. PM me if you have any questions... http://michiganmedicalmarijuana.org/blog/65-dizzledots-recipes/ Dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
