CBD bath bombs and CBD bath salts can be relaxing for your body, and a hot bath is also soothing for your mind.

How to Use CBD Bath Bombs

If you’re thinking of using CBD or THC bath bombs to get high, it probably isn’t going to work.  Why? Because the THC and CBD floating around in your tub can’t actually get into your bloodstream. But, that doesn’t mean a CBD or THC bath bomb isn’t going to do anything for you. Cannabis bath bombs may actually relieve aching muscles and soothe irritated skin.

How? Well, science is still catching up on this subject, but, so far, researchers have discovered that cannabinoids can interact with receptors in your skin. In doing so, they can reduce inflammation in your skin, and with the help of a good carrier oil, they can potentially help relieve muscle soreness. Along with a few aromatic essential oils, CBD bath bombs can also help destress your mind in times of trouble.

You might have already seen come CBD bath salts and bombs for sale at your local dispensary. But, you can actually make your own at home. It’s cheaper, and you don’t have to run to the dispensary to get it.

How to Make a Cannabis Topical

The first step to making CBD bath bombs and bath salts is to concoct a cannabis topical. This is a very simple process by which you make either cannabis oil or cannabis tincture — it’s up to you.

Cannabis oil might be the simplest of the two to make. Just get your hands on some THC or CBD flower, depending on what kind of bath bombs you plan to use. Once you’ve decarboxylated your bud, you’ll be infusing it into a fatty oil. If you’re using your cannabis oil purely for making bath salts or bombs, coconut or hemp seed oil are both excellent choices. On their own, coconut and hemp seed oil are great for your skin, and typically non-irritating.

Not interested in using cannabis oil for your bath bombs? No problem. Instead, try making CBD tincture. Just be aware, the process is a little more involved than making cannabis oil, and uses a solvent — like Everclear. 

Why put in the time, you might ask? CBD tincture can actually be more potent than cannabis oil, increasing the overall strength of your CBD bath bombs or bath salts. So depending on what your needs are, and the amount of time on your hands, a CBD tincture could be just the thing you want.

Ingredients

  • 1 Ounce Cannabis decarbed
  • 2 Cups Everclear (or other high proof alcohol)

Instructions

  • Place the decarbed cannabis in a plastic bucket
  • Crush the plant material using a stick of clean, untreated wood or any other similar device.
  • Continue to crush the cannabis, while adding 1 cup everclear until the plant material is completely covered and soaked. Stir the mixture for about three minutes. As you stir the mixture, the cannabinoids will begin dissolving off the plant into the solvent.
  • Strain the solvent mixture into another bucket. At this point, you have stripped the material of about 80% of its THC.
  • Repeat this process for the second wash. Again add 1 cup everclear to the plant material and work for another three minutes to extract the remaining THC.
  • Strain this new solvent mix into the bucket containing the first mix that was previously separated.
  • Discard the twice washed plant material.
  • Pour the solvent mixture through a coffee filter into a clean container.
  • Boil the solvent off in a safe environment. A rice cooker will boil the solvent off nicely. CAUTION: the solvent is flammable and the vapors toxic. Avoid stove-tops, red-hot elements, sparks, cigarettes, and open flames as the fumes can be extremely dangerous.
  • Add solvent to rice cooker and turn on heat. Make sure you are in a well-ventilated area and set up a fan to carry the solvent fumes away. If you can complete this step outside.
  • Continue to add mixture to cooker as the solvent evaporates until you have added it all to the cooker.
  • Continue to reduce the liquid until you have roughly 1 cup liquid left.
  • Place in a container or jar and let stand for at least 24 hours.
