The Cannabis Spa at Home

The Cannabis Spa at Home contains informative guides and complete instructions for more than seventy-five cannabis spa recipes free of preservatives and major allergens that can be prepared in the home kitchen or professional spa with wholesome herbal ingredients.

Although spa potions and oils infused with marijuana and hemp are an emerging trend in spa and wellness for the twenty-first century, cannabis spa isn’t new—cannabis has been used for thousands of years for external use in the traditional health practices of Eastern cultures. In locations where cannabis has renewed legal status, cannabis spa potions such as lotions, salves, poultices, scrubs, and baths are being rediscovered as a healthy alternative for managing pain, soothing irritated skin, and enhancing the spa experience.

In The Cannabis Spa at Home, you’ll discover which spa preparations provide local healing—and which have potential for a more euphoric experience. You’ll also learn how to make:

• Refrigerated and shelf-stable cannabis lotions, creams, balms, and masks
• Emulsions, cannabis base oils, cannabis herbal poultices, aromatherapy essence water, cannabis bath salts, and foot and hand soaks
• Edible treats such as luscious spa nosh, hemp smoothies, and cannabis bhang for a pampering cannabis spa day at home or with friends

"The images are beautiful, the recipes lush and easy to follow. As a spa professional I can easily see how it could become a 'must have' item for any spa wishing to incorporate cannabis therapy into their repertoire of products and services." —Linda Harding-Bond, international spa trainer, Huffington Post

"Cannabis is the key ingredient in this book, but what makes The Cannabis Spa at Home stand out is the comfort and grace in which cannabis is discussed in its pages. . . . Cannabis isn’t just used here as a gimmick to sell a mediocre spa book. There is actual substance presented in a comfortable, soothing and professional package." —Allison Edrington, The Ganjier
