What Is African CBD RSO? Why We Use It in Every Jar of Good Health Extracts

Pain relief, skin repair, and true wellness all start with the right plant chemistry. At GoodHealth Extracts, that chemistry is full-spectrum African CBD RSO (Rick Simpson Oil)—the golden resin that powers every butter, salve, lotion, and oil we make. Below, you’ll learn what RSO actually is, how our signature “Afro Gold” strain came to be, and why this single-origin extract delivers deeper, faster relief than ordinary CBD.

1 | RSO 101 – CBD in Its Richest Form

Extract Type	Cannabinoid Profile	Key Take-Away
Isolate	CBD only	Pure but limited action
Broad Spectrum	CBD + minors (0 % THC)	Wider benefits, fewer terpenes
Full-Spectrum RSO	CBD + minors + trace THC + terpenes	Deep, synergistic (“entourage”) effect

RSO is a whole-plant, solvent-extracted concentrate that retains the full suite of cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, CBC, trace THC < 0.3 %), aromatic terpenes, and flavonoids. That synergy—often called the entourage effect—helps calm inflammation, regulate pain signals, and nourish skin far better than CBD isolate alone.

2 | Why Africa? Terroir, Tradition & the Rise of Afro Gold

A Search Across 1,500 Strains

Over five years we cultivated and phenotyped more than 1,500 African hemp cultivars. Lab and field data pointed to one clear champion: Afro Gold. This Ghana-grown strain consistently delivers:

High CBD with naturally elevated CBG & CBC
Potent anti-inflammatory terpenes—β-caryophyllene, myrcene, limonene
Naturally low THC (< 0.3 %), ideal for topical, non-psychoactive relief

Strain-Specific Extraction

Instead of blending harvests, we perform strain-specific ethanol extraction to preserve Afro Gold’s unique cannabinoid-terpene profile. Precision extraction means every jar carries a consistent, research-backed ratio proven to ease pain and soothe inflamed skin.

Women-Led, Ghana-Grown

Our Afro Gold fields are tended by women-run cooperatives in northern Ghana. Each purchase funds fair wages, literacy programs, and micro-loans, empowering harvesters while safeguarding regenerative farming traditions.

3 | Topical Benefits Backed by Nature & Science

Concern	How Afro Gold RSO Helps
Muscle & joint pain	Activates CB1/CB2 receptors to dial down pain signals
Inflammation & redness	CBD + β-caryophyllene calm cytokine activity
Dry, cracked skin	Fatty acids restore lipid balance and barrier function
Post-workout recovery	Enhances micro-tear repair by improving local blood flow

Combined with raw shea, cocoa, and red palm butters, the resin melts at body temperature and carries actives deep into tissue for long-lasting relief.
