What to do with roots? Root balm?

[Gaharvest]

Anyone make root balm with leftover roots? I cleaned them and will let dry for 48hours. Was thinking grinding them up and making coconut balm.

Wow! Nice one! Whats a root balm anyway?
I recycle em
Roots have nutrients and beneficials, i just stopped bothering pullin em out except for the very inner rootball (more or less a golfball size) and i just shred em real quick with the minishowel and remixing em in the soil that i recycle....i generally replant two days later the harvest so they are very fresh and still have to decompose....no issue at all...
pulling em out will make my job much harder and dusty....
I feed minerals...but i add beneficials and ACTs...

Supposedly it helps with arthritis, aching joints and muscles. You dry them out, then grind them into a powder. Then you put them in a slow cooker with your choice of oil for 12 hours making into a balm. I’ve had 8 surgeries so gonna try it.
