Elevated Wellness – RSO Rick Simpson Oil (Phoenix Tears) – Syringes

What is Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) aka Phoenix Tears?

Rick Simpson oil (RSO) is a cannabis oil product. It was developed by Rick Simpson, a Canadian medical marijuana activist. Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) is an unrefined, potent oil extracted from cannabis using ethanol. It’s named after the man who created it and first benefited from it. Canadian Rick Simpson claims he cured his own skin cancer with a custom blend of cannabis oil, which has come to be known as Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), or Phoenix Tears (the name of Rick’s website).

What is RSO?

In 2003, Rick Simpson created a cannabis oil after three suspicious bumps on his arm turned out to be basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer. Simpson had used cannabis to treat medical issues in the past, so he made a cannabis oil to treat his skin cancer topically, applying it to a bandage and covering the cancerous spots.

RSO is an oil made by washing cannabis buds with a solvent, such as pure light naphtha, and then boiling off the solvent leaving behind the oil. RSO is not a branded product. That means there’s no one “Rick Simpson Oil” for sale. On his website, Simpson explains how to make his namesake oil. But he does not sell a version of the oil for profit.

Because RSO contains high levels of THC, it’s illegal to buy in many places. But in states that have legalized marijuana — either for personal use or for medical use — you can find RSO at cannabis dispensaries.

Why Buy Elevated Wellness Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)?

The main claim surrounding RSO is that it treats cancer. After Simpson was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2003, he began applying RSO to the cancerous spots on his face and neck. According to Simpson, the spots healed within a few days.

According to Rick Simpson’s website, RSO is made from a particular type of cannabis called Cannabis indica, which produces a sedative effect that helps the body heal.

In addition to cancer, RSO is said to also treat:

• multiple sclerosis
• arthritis
• asthma
• infections
• inflammation
• high blood pressure
• depression
• insomnia

There remains a need for more research to support the purported effectiveness of RSO and other cannabinoid-based concoctions. But there are already indicators that cannabis could be a powerful tool in combating cancer and the detrimental side effects of its treatment. The antitumor properties of cannabinoids in cell lines and in animal models induced with cancer have been well-documented in peer-reviewed research over the years, but more research is needed to prove the efficacy and safety for clinical trials involving human patients.

How do I use Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)?

For medical patients, it is always recommended to consult your physician before starting any new treatment regimen. However, some physicians may be averse to cannabis as a course of treatment. If you decide to use RSO, proceed with caution and at your own discretion.

When looking for symptom relief for a condition or for medical benefits, for one patient, the goal is to gradually consume 60 grams of Rick Simpson Oil over the course of a 90-day period.

Dosages vary from person to person depending on many factors, including the potency of the RSO, which Simpson claims is 80% to 90% THC.

RSO is typically not smoked. It is applied in the following ways:

• As a topical rubbed onto the surface of the skin
• As a sublingual (under the tongue) for the fastest absorption rate
• As a capsule taken orally for slowest-acting effects that last longer

You can cook with RSO as well, just as you can with cannabutter or cannabis cooking oil. Consider the dish you’ll be making and keep in mind the texture and stickiness of RSO. As far as baking, it will be easier to mix it in with something that has more liquid ingredients, like a cake or brownies, as opposed to cookies. RSO is great for drizzling over any type of food, but the taste can be a little off-putting for some. You may want to mix it with a sauce or something else to mask the flavor.

Final Thoughts on Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)

If you’re looking for an alternative to Distillate based edibles, then RSO is your new best friend. The addition of fats & lipids is known to have medicinal benefits and provide therapeutic relief far outweighing the majority of edibles you find on the market. While the claims of helping with cancer are not yet proven, the number of patients turning to RSO as an additional supplement in their day to day regiment is growing.

To put it simply, Phoenix Tears are a strong, concentrated form of cannabis extract. They are also known under such names as RSO (Rick Simpson Oil), F.E.C.O. (Fully Extracted Cannabis Oil), hashish oil – or just “cannabis extract”. No matter what the name is, it is a highly potent extract which is said to treat a wide range of serious ailments and diseases. Each syringe contains approximately 60% THC and 6% CBD. Comes as individual 1g syringes. Some uses include treating chronic pain, sleep ailments, arthritis, and anxiety.

Product Use: RSO is meant to be a sticky and viscous rather than a thin liquid. To use this product effectively, we recommend heating it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds (with the bottom cap removed) and then pushing the syringe gently. The syringes can also be placed in lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes before usage
