Reply to comment by DeepCompote in THC and CBD improve wound healing. Phytocannabinoids Stimulate Rejuvenation and Prevent Cellular Senescence in Human Dermal Fibroblasts study says by johnhemingwayscience

I usually infuse it in coconut oil as I'm not allergic. I've also infused shea butter, hemp seed oil, olive oil, and emu oil. Which, I then used in various lotion recipes. I like to do one ounce of flower to one cup of oil.

I get cellulitis on my nose quite often. If I start using my infused lotion at the first tingle. I can usually avoid antibiotics.

I also make it for my friend that is in a wheelchair. She gets wounds on her legs that do not want to heal. Her doctor was amazed at how well the infused lotions worked for healing. I'm still impressed at how well it works.

I do this too. I make a rejuvenating oil-based skin "lotion" with an infused coconut oil, a tiny splash of olive oil, shea butter, beeswax, and a drop or two of essential oils to make them smell good.

Works absolute wonders for my hands during the winter when they dry out and crack like crazy. I use it on all kinds of cuts and scrapes too. It also helps take away the itching feeling of wound healing. I don't have any evidence on if it helps increase the speed of the healing process, but it definitely helps relieve the pain I get from dry, cracked skin. And the oils help to rehydrate and get rid of the issue.

A lady that works with my sister swears by it for arthritis in her hands. She insists it's better than tiger balm.

Many of the minor cannabinoids such as CBG/ CBC as well as the major CB’s (CBD/THC) are anti-microbial by themselves.

They are also powerful antioxidants to boot.
