Benefits, preparation, pairings, and how to use, all in one place.
Cannabis is a versatile botanical ally used across traditional and modern wellness for relief, regulation, nervous system support, and embodied ease.
Comfort & Ease
The plant this shop is built around, taken by the drop, the capsule or the salve depending on where it is wanted.
Calm & Stillness
Can help settle nervous system overload and encourage a calmer baseline.
Sleep & Dreaming
Often used in evening formulas to support deeper rest and softer sleep onset.
Used in ritual, medicine, and nourishment across cultures, now expressed in many modern forms from oils to topical preparations.
Modern cannabis use spans full-spectrum extracts, CBD-rich formulas, targeted blends, and topical body support.
“The plant has long been treated as both medicine and materia, valued for its ability to soften pain, regulate stress, and support deeper restoration.”
Oils, Salves, Capsules, Topicals
Effects and suitability vary widely by cannabinoid profile, dosage, and individual sensitivity. Begin conservatively and match use to context.
Common forms include tinctures, infused oils, capsules, salves, and food-based extracts.
The product, in detail
Canna Salve
The same balm over a longer list. A more potent cannabinoid extract in the same coconut oil base, three seed oils the standard does not carry, and dimethyl sulfoxide — which is the part of this jar worth understanding first.
The longer list
Most of this jar is the standard's balm: coconut oil as the base and as the solvent, four butters — cacao, shea, mafura, mango — then neem and argan, then lavender, geranium, eucalyptus and rosehip.
Three oils are on this list and not on the standard's, and all three are pressed from seeds rather than distilled. Moringa, from the pods of the drumstick tree. Marula, from the kernel inside the marula fruit. Baobab, from the seeds of the upside-down tree. Marula and baobab are Southern African, as is the mafura already in both jars, which makes three lines of this formulation that grow within reach of where it is made.
The wax differs too. The standard is set with carnauba; this one with sunflower wax and soy wax, both pulled out of the oils they are named for. Canna Heal list both waxes in different places, so whether that is a change across the whole range or a real difference between the two salves is not settled.
Organic where possible, which is how they mark it: most lines carry an asterisk, and not all of them do.
The DMSO
DMSO is the second difference and the more interesting one. Dimethyl sulfoxide is a clear, colourless liquid, a by-product of turning wood into paper, and one of the most capable solvents there is — it dissolves things neither water nor oil will touch, and unlike an oil it does not stay on the surface of skin.
Canna Heal's stated reason for putting it in is that it carries the salve further: their words are that DMSO allows the Canna Salve to reach deep below your skin. That is what a penetrating solvent does. It goes through, and it takes whatever is dissolved in it along.
That property runs both ways. A solvent that carries dissolved substances through skin does not stop to distinguish between the salve and whatever else is on the skin at the time.
Where it goes
The method is the standard's: rubbed into the skin where you want it, firm in the jar and soft as soon as it is on skin. Nothing is swallowed and nothing is counted.
What differs is only the strength. Canna Heal say the standard is what most people reach for, and this is the one to take if you want more of the extract in the same balm.
Their two cautions apply to both jars: keep it away from the eyes, and take care applying it over an open wound. Given what DMSO does, the second is worth reading twice on this one.
Neither jar is given an amount, a frequency or a course length.

What's inside
Canna Heal's own list, in their order, and the one written for this jar: they also publish the standard's older list, which disagrees about the wax and about moringa, marula and baobab. Organic where possible is their own qualifier. No proportion, percentage or weight is published for any line, including the DMSO, so none is shown.
Before you start
Plant medicine deserves preparation. For most people this is gentle and uneventful, but some situations call for a conversation first.
Talk to someone first if:
SSRIs and other antidepressants
They compete for the same serotonin receptors, and can dull the effect substantially. People who feel nothing at all are often taking one without having made the connection. It doesn't rule anything out; it does mean the timing is worth discussing with your doctor first.

I remember it being more effective and potent in years gone by than the more recent batches. When I first began using it in 2017 I felt a tingling sensation after applying and almost immediate relief from muscular pain which was fantastic. I don't get that same effect anymore. I wonder if some of the ingredients may be more sensitive to summer temperatures (heat) even when stored in cool cupboard etc
This product is a lifesaver with sore, stiff joints, skin problems, such as rashes, pimples, etc. I have bad arthritis in my shoulders and by rubbing some of the salve on them relieves the pain quickly. It is also fantastic for sore, tired feet. I make sure that I always have a jar on hand.
This is an amazing product. I use it for everything. Thank you so much Tom for packing my products I buy from you guys with a lot of love. I appreciate that so much. Much love Joan ❤️
I have used this product for several years and find it excellent for relief of joint pain which is a side effect of certain medication. My wife uses it for ease of pain in hands from knitting. A neighbour uses it for ease of back pain left after a back operation.
As a runner this product really helps with injury and pain relief. First time trying it and I'm impressed. Can recommend.
My best friend Sharon and I attended the Cannabis Expo at Grand West and we were fortunate to test the extra strength salve and Sharon has artheritis in hands and I have a knee problem. Well after 5 days only a tingle since we sampled it on our respective areas. I bought the sensual oil and it really works well. What a great product.
