Patent Application
20230414501
The disclosure relates to a mineral salve containing cannabinoids and terpenes, and a carrier oil prepared using a heated, blending process to achieve the desired characteristics, and which may be used to prevent or treat arthritis, muscle aches, inflammation, pains, and/or skin conditions.
Cooling remedies for aches and pains have been used for thousands of years. For instance, mint oil, which contains the cooling agent menthol, has been used in traditional healing practices. In present day, people most commonly use products like BenGay® and IcyHot® to ease muscle pain, minor arthritis, and to cool irritation and inflammation. Active ingredients menthol and methyl salicylate are counterirritants that work by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm. These feelings on the skin distract the user from feeling the aches/pains in the muscles, joints, and/or tendons.
Most sports creams contain an active ingredient methyl salicylate, or salicylic acid, a toxic chemical which, if overused, can result in serious injury or, even in rare cases, in death from poisoning. As an anti-clotting agent, at high doses, salicyclic acid can cause internal bleeding, arrhythmias of the heart, and/or problems in the liver. “Bengay Death Highlights OTC Dangers,” ABCNews, Mar. 24, 2008 (https://abcnews.go.com/Health/Healthday/story?id=4507580&page=1).
In addition, these common topical creams are more effective for acute pain resulting directly from tissue damage, such as a torn or pulled muscle. Treatment of neuropathic, or nerve-related, pain, is much more difficult because the injured nerves seem to generate pain signals without an external influence. Neuropathic pain originates, in part, from an intricate mesh of sensory neurons, which is not thoroughly understood. Chu, J., “The Mystery of BenGay: A study reveals how age-old cooling remedies help to alleviate nerve-related pain.” MIT Tech. Rev., Aug. 22, 2006 (https://www.technologyreview.com/2006/08/22/273714/the-mystery-of-bengay/#:—:text=Products %2Olike %20BenGay %20 are %20modern,a %20burn %2000/020pulled % 20muscle).
There is a need for a safer and natural pain-relieving topical cream that relieves both acute path and neuropathic pain.
A mineral salve is disclosed containing: a) hemp oil containing cannabinoids and optionally terpenes; b) magnesium oil; c) at least one carrier oil; d) turmeric oil or curcumin oil; e) black pepper oil; f) a natural preservative; and g) one or more essential oils. The magnesium oil is substantially uniformly suspended within the carrier oil. The magnesium oil may be present in about 5% to about 40% by volume of the CBD mineral salve. The hemp oil may be present in about 5% to about 20% by volume of the CBD mineral salve. The carrier oil may be present in about 60% to about 80% by volume of the CBD mineral salve, and may be selected from: bee wax, carauba wax, Olive oil, Hempseed oil, Coconut oil, Avocado oil, Coco Butter, Mango Butter, Shea Butter (raw yellow, refined white), Jojoba, and any combination thereof. The carrier oil may comprise bee wax or carauba wax, and at least one additional carrier oil selected from the group consisting of: Olive oil, Hempseed oil, Coconut oil, Avocado oil, Coco Butter, Mango Butter, Shea Butter (raw yellow, refined white), Jojoba, and any combination thereof. The one or more essential oil is present in about 2% to about 10% by volume of the CBD mineral salve, and may be selected from the group consisting of: eucalyptus, peppermint, citrus, lemongrass, lavender, and any combination thereof. The CBD mineral salve may include a natural preservative, which may be selected from the group consisting of: Populus tremuloides bark extract; willow bark extract; leuconostoc ferment filtrate; Phytocide Elderberry; a combination of gluconolactone and sodium benzoate; a combination of benzyl alcohol, salicylic acid, glycerin, and sorbic acid; radish root; lactobacillus ferment; and any combination thereof.
Methods of using the CBD mineral salve are disclosed for reducing or treating arthritic pain or muscle pain, inflammation, and/or a skin condition by topically administering the CBD mineral salve, optionally one to six times per day. The skin condition may be an inflammatory skin condition.
A method of making the CBD mineral salve is disclosed which includes the steps of: supplying raw hemp; processing the raw hemp to make hemp oil; supplying magnesium chloride flakes; processing the magnesium chloride flakes with water to make magnesium oil; melting the at least one carrier oil to a liquid state; mixing the hemp oil, the melted carrier oil, black pepper oil, turmeric oil or curcumin oil, the natural preservative, and the one or more essential oils in a blending unit; and blending the mixture for an amount of time at about 120° C. to about 170° C. to provide a substantially uniformly blended CBD mineral salve. The magnesium oil may be substantially uniformly suspended in the carrier oil.
The CBD mineral salve disclosed herein includes magnesium oil, turmeric oil and/or curcumin oil, black pepper oil, one or more carrier oils, one or more essential oils, and hemp oil, which includes cannabinoids and terpenes. The CBD mineral salve may include magnesium oil made from water and magnesium chloride flakes, organic turmeric oil, organic black pepper oil, a natural preservative (e.g., lactobacillus ferment), and at least one essential oil for fragrance. Mineral salve, as used herein means an ointment used to soothe the surface of the body, containing the mineral, magnesium, a unique mineral to include in any topical.
With this novel CBD mineral salve multiple active compounds are combined in a synergistic and unique manner to target and reduce pain and inflammation and have antibacterial and antimicrobial properties in one product. Because each individual subject reacts differently to different active compounds, by containing multiple ingredients that target pain and inflammation, at least one or more of these ingredients will be effective with the subject's specific biological makeup to target pain, inflammation and healing. For example, some subjects may experience relief from the magnesium but not process the CBD, while others experience the opposite; at least one or more of the ingredients will assist and work with the subject's body.
Further, the inventors developed a unique method of suspending the magnesium oil, which is water-based, in an oil-based system to provide a uniformly potent and smooth product. This is an advancement over other products in the market and from a chemistry perspective.
The CBD mineral salve may be applied safely to pediatric and adolescent patients, adults of all ages, and animals that may need the benefits this product can provide. It offers a natural, holistic means to reduce pain, inflammation and skin conditions.
Magnesium oil is made from a mixture of magnesium chloride flakes, or magnesium chloride salt, and water. When these two substances are combined, the resulting liquid has an oily feel, but isn't technically an oil. The magnesium oil may be made from magnesium chloride flakes or salts. Magnesium oil may be purchased directly from a supplier, or made from processing magnesium chloride flakes or salts and processed as disclosed herein. For example magnesium chloride flakes may be purchased from a supplier, such as those sold by Jedwards International, Inc. a wholesale bulk supplier of Natural Magnesium Chloride—Dead Sea (https://bulknaturaloils.com/natural-magnesium-chloride-dead-sea.html). The magnesium oil may be made from magnesium chloride flakes and water. Research has shown that topical application of magnesium has better bioavailability and breakdown/absorption when it is processed from magnesium chloride flakes rather than from salt.
The CBD mineral salve may include less than about 40% by volume of magnesium oil. The CBD mineral salve may include less than about 40% by volume of magnesium oil. The CBD mineral salve may include about 5% to about 40%, about 5% to about 20%, about 30% to about 40%, about 5% to about 15%, or about 10% by volume of magnesium oil. The amount of magnesium oil in the CBD mineral salve may be suitable for use up to 6 times daily. The amount of magnesium oil should not affect the subject's daily intake or exceed recommended dosages of magnesium.
In the inventive CBD mineral salve, the magnesium oil is substantially uniformly suspended within the oil blends therein. The magnesium does not settle out over time, for example over a period of about 1 year or about 2 years. The particles of the magnesium oil may have a mean particle size of about 500 μm to about 800 μm. This uniform suspension of the magnesium oil, which is water-based, is extremely challenging and difficult to attain. The synergy of the substantially uniformly suspended magnesium oil with all the other anti-inflammatory components of the CBD mineral salve creates a product that directly targets pain and inflammation in a subject. Substantially uniformly suspended may mean that the heated blending element breaks down the magnesium oil on a molecular level with the other oil-based compounds and, as it cools, the particles of magnesium oil are suspended within the structure of the CBD mineral salve substantially evenly.
To create the desired texture and suspension, the magnesium oil, which is water-based, may be made from magnesium chloride flakes. Water, preferably hot or at or near boiling, and magnesium chloride flakes may be mixed in about a 2:1 to about a 1:2 ratio, or in about a 1:1 ratio, to dissolve the magnesium chloride flakes. The mixture may be agitated by any means until the flakes are dissolved to provide the magnesium oil. The magnesium oil may be allowed to rest and come to room temperature before further processing into the salve.
Any turmeric oil or curcumin oil may be used in accordance with this disclosure. The turmeric oil or curcumin oil may be organic. The CBD mineral salve may include a steam distilled organic turmeric oil that has 100% purity. Curcumin, a yellow coloring agent extracted from turmeric, is known to have strong anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities when used as a remedy for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. The CBD mineral salve may include less than about 3% by volume of turmeric oil or curcumin oil. The CBD mineral salve may include about 0.5% to about 3% by volume, about 1% to about 3% by volume, about 1.5% to about 2.5% by volume, or about 2% by volume of turmeric oil or curcumin oil.
Any black pepper oil may be used in accordance with this disclosure. The black pepper oil may be organic. The mineral salve may include a steam distilled organic black pepper oil that has 100% purity. Black pepper oil possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties. It can assist with reducing pain from a number of ailments. It is known for assisting with easing cramps, improving tendonitis/bursitis, as well as symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism. The warming effect can improve blood circulation when applied transdermally. Black pepper oil is antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial, which helps assist with a variety of bacterial and fungal skin infections and/or conditions. It is a compound that contains high amounts of antioxidants, including piperine, which may help prevent free radical damage to cells. Other benefits include assistance with blood sugar stabilization, brain functionality improvements, improving cholesterol levels and even has anti-cancer properties. Research has also shown black pepper oil supports the absorption of turmeric/curcumin. As black pepper supports diabetes, it specifically helps tackle neuropathic pain caused by diabetes when applied topically. It also can serve as cleansing tool, riding the body of built up acid within the muscle tissue. Black pepper has also been known to assist with asthma and serve as an expectorant. The CBD mineral salve may include less than about 3% by volume of black pepper oil. The CBD mineral salve may include about 0.5% to about 3% by volume, about 0.5% to about 2% by volume, about 0.5% to about 1.0% by volume, or about 1% by volume of black pepper oil.

The step of blending the mixture may performed for about 5 to about 20 minutes, or about 10 minutes. Blending the mixture may be performed for at a medium heat temperature of about 150° F. to obtain a smooth and well-blended mixture.
In melting at least one carrier oil to a liquid state, one or more carrier oils may be selected at the same amount or in different amounts and then melted by application of heat. When multiple carrier oils are used, they may be melted sequentially one at a time before adding the next carrier oil or they may be mixed and then melted concurrently. Once all of the carrier oils are melted, the melted carrier oils may be transferred to a heated mixing/blending unit. The mixing/blending unit may be any such equipment known for use in the art to concurrently mix and heat, such as, but not limited to, a jacketed mixing vessel (https://www.adinathmachines.com/mixer-blender-and-stirrers/jacketed-mixing-vessel/), a Silvers on mixer (https://www.silverson.com/us/re source-library/application-rep orts/production-of-pharm aceutical-cream-and-ointments), or any commercial blender that also has a heating capability.
Shea butter and coconut oil may be selected as the carrier oils, added together and then melted on a double boiler until melted and smooth in texture. This may be followed by the addition of bee wax or carnauba wax, which is then melted into the mix of melted shea butter and coconut oil. Once all the carrier oils are melted down, they may be transferred to a heated mixing/blending unit.
Next, hemp oil, the melted at least one carrier oil, black pepper oil, turmeric oil or curcumin oil, and one or more essential oil may be measured out, and added to the mixing/blending unit. Optionally, also an amount of a natural preservative, or other natural additive may be added to the mixing/blending unit. The ingredients may then be blended together for an amount of time, such as about 2 to about 10 minutes, at about 120° C. to about 170° C., about 130° C. to about 160° C., about 140° C. to about 155° C., or at about 155° C. to provide a substantially uniformly blended CBD mineral salve.
The CBD mineral salve may be measured into weighted or portions by volume and immediately placed into jars, for example, but not limited to, glass jars, and left to cool.
The features and advantages of the present disclosure are more fully shown by the following examples which are provided for purposes of illustration, and are not to be construed as limiting the invention in any way.
A CBD mineral salve was made by first processing a mixture of strains of raw hemp using heat extraction to make a heat extracted concentrated hemp oil.
Next, a water-based magnesium oil was made from magnesium chloride flakes. Water and magnesium chloride flakes were combined in a one to one ratio. A cup of magnesium flakes was added to one cup of boiling water and stirred until the flakes dissolved. Once that was complete, it was set aside until its addition at the very end of the process.
Equal parts (80 grams) of both shea butter and coconut oil were melted down to a smooth texture. In small batches, this can be done on top of a double boiler system; on a larger scale, it can be procured in a kettle and/or a heated blending system. The carrier oil blend of shea butter and coconut oil was about 70 wt. % of the final mineral salve product.
After these ingredients are melted down, carnauba wax was added. The wax constituted about 5% of the total mineral salve composition. Once the carrier oils were melted, they were placed in a heated mixing/blending unit.
Next, 1.5 g hemp oil, 4 grams of essential oils, 1 gram of black pepper oil, 2.5 g of turmeric oil, 60 grams of magnesium oil, and 2 grams of lactobacillus ferment were added to the heated mixing/blending unit. All ingredients were blended together at a medium heat temperature of about 150° F. for about 10 minutes until the mixture was smooth and well blended. The blended mixture was immediately placed into glass jars and left to cool.
The CBD mineral salve prepared according to the process described above was 0.97 wt. % total cannabinoids. The cannabinoid content in shown in Table 1.
The following cannabinoids were not detected (i.e., less than 0.01%): Δ9-THC, CBN, CBNa, THCa, CBDa, CBDva, Δ8-THC, CBG, CBGa, THCv, THCva, CBDv, CBCa, CBL, CBLa, CB Cv, CBT.
