CBD Every Day: How to Make Cannabis-Infused Massage Oils, Bath Bombs, Salves, Herbal Remedies, and Edibles

I have all the books this author has published, and this one is my favorite book right up there with her first book, The Cannabis Spa at Home. I have made quite a few of these recipes, like the bath bombs and lotions (my favorites). As someone who has also had allergic issues to nut oils, cornstarch, artificial fragrances, artificial colors, and preservatives, I've even had some issues with allergies to some essential oil blends. I especially love the method used in this book to give a very light, fresh and natural fragrance to the baths and topical products. These recipes use no essential oils and no artificial fragrances or additives, yet they have this fresh garden-like smell that's very subtle. The bath bombs came out great when I made them. I had no issues with my CBD oil addition to the water sticking to the tub. The oil emulsified perfectly in the water using the ingredients in the recipe which are all plant-based. These bath bomb recipes contain no synthetic additives for emusification, it's achieved by using plant-based ingredients exclusively. You won't find this recipe online because the author of this book is the original formulator of this kind of bath bomb using these ingredients. I love the lotions because they have no preservatives. Only lotions made with water need preservatives anyhow. And you can also refrigerate lotions with water-based ingredients and use them quickly. I use up my CBD and cannabis topicals fast because they help so much for joint pain relief. I'm also scratching my head over another review here which seems to be misrepresenting the content of the recipes in this book. The foreword for this book was written by a medical doctor (MD). There is nothing 'dangerous' about the methods described in this book. But there are business competitors from Etsy who take the low road and post misinformation in Amazon reviews. If you want to explore a book with a fresh perspective on bath and topicals formulation for CBD-infused products made at home this is the book for you. If plant-based is your thing, this book is for you. If you have sensitivities like I do, this book is for you.

I love using CBD salve for lower back and knee inflammation. It keeps it in check and the tincture helps with migraines. But to me, it's kind of stinky and for use at bedtime. With some of these salve recipes, not only is it effective, but smells pretty good! I love the scientific glass keeper idea too. Sandra is a professional educator, which is exactly the kind of information I was seeking. I am able to expand on her ideas for my own use too. I thank her for sharing her knowledge.

Love this book.

Nice photos, inspiring recipes.

For those of you with very little CBD experience, this is a great book. Even with what I know it was very helpful to validate that what I am doing is correct. Great book.

Purchased for a gift. My friend bowmrrowed mine amd found it very helpful. I bought a copy for him.

As someone who has made soap and bath bombs for 10+ years, the information provided is inaccurate. NEVER use glass to make soap in. The lye will etch the glass and eventually it will explode. If you are going to hot process it, make sure the slow cooker is not made of aluminum as the lye will have a toxic reaction to it. You don’t need to cure your soap in cheesecloth and Hot or cold process, it should be left alone for 6 weeks. Any lotions should have a preservative. The bath bomb recipe has no emulsifier. I use polysorbate 80. Without an emulsifier, the oil is just going to sit on top of the water instead of mixing with it. The rest of the recipes use expensive oils/butters and herbs and additives that are not commonplace. The extraction methods were interesting but again, water is introduced when it doesn’t necessarily need to be. The comments regarding pain medication rubbed me the wrong way. Not everyone loves pain pills, but nor should people be shamed who use them appropriately. If you want to check out the way to formulate recipes, learn briefly about extractions, this is a good starting point but definitely do research outside of the methods provided.

Covers many issues. I use it frequently
