RASPBERRY LEAF

As a fluffy base, raspberry leaves produce a wonderfully full-bodied smoke with a fruity scent. Historically, herbal tobacco containing raspberry leaves was introduced by Native American women who smoked them in rituals. In fact, there is a historical explanation that the first idea of tobacco came from herbal tobacco wrapped in raspberry leaves. Raspberry leaves are very rich in vitamins and minerals such as tannins, flavonoids, ellagic acid, vitamins A, C, potassium, calcium and phosphorus - very nutritious for the body when taken as an infusion.

MULLEIN LEAF

Mullein leaf is a popular herbal remedy. It's most recognized as a lung tonic, but you can benefit from it even if you smoke it! It calms inflamed or diseased lungs and keeps them from coughing until the infection or inflammation is gone. It also helps with expectoration, breaking up congestion and encouraging "effective" coughing. This is a delicate and gentle herb. Mullein is a great herbal smoke since it's light, fluffy, and flavorful.

DAMIANA

Damiana's aphrodisiac properties were originally documented in scientific literature over a century ago! Mayans were said to make a drink with damiana tea and sugar to help them fall in love. Turnera Aphrodisiaca, one of Damiana's Latin names, reflects the plant's old reputation as an aphrodisiac. The mechanism of action of chemicals called flavonoids, which are abundant in damiana leaf, is thought to be responsible for this pro-sexual effects. Damiana is the sexiest smoke you can find, having long been utilised as an aphrodisiac by cultures in Central America.

Damiana is especially beneficial for those who suffer from cramps, irritability, and mood swings during their periods. It can improve intimacy and make sex more pleasurable.

LICORICE

Licorice is an expectorant and demulcent herb that helps quit smoking naturally. Licorice is used as a flavoring agent in cigarettes and other tobacco products, the flavor of licorice can help satisfy your cravings. According to Patrick Holford, a British psychologist specializing in nutrition and mental health, licorice also promotes the action of adrenal hormones, which can be helpful in the withdrawal phase when someone quits smoking. Licorice also acts as an expectorant, which helps clear your lungs - relieving smoker's cough!

BLUE LOTUS

The ancient Egyptians' soothing and euphoric sacred flower was utilised in ceremonies for its delightful effects. Considered a sensual tonic and mood enhancer, it inspires us to take a leap, a shift in our state of awareness, to produce a tranquil sense of inner guidance emerging.

CALENDULA

The bright orange and vibrant flower petals actually help to create a fully balanced smoke blend that burns evenly and tastes smooth and delicious. Calendula brings a smooth citrus taste and happy, upbeat energy. Enjoy some wonderful Marigold flower, which produces a bright, dreamy herbal smoke.

CATNIP

Catnip can be brewed in herbal tea and ingested by smoking. Catnip has a history of medicinal use for various illnesses. However, its medicinal uses have been discontinued by the development of more commonplace pharmaceuticals. Other benefits of Catnip; stress relief, sleep assistance and dysmenorrhea.

PEPPERMINT

It removes the mist mind, helps handle emotions, and allows all spiritual channels to flow freely. Peppermint leaves are often used alone or with other herbs in herbal smokes or tea.

SKULLCAP

Ideal for when we are overthinking, having a hard time to fall asleep. Skullcaps have a mild sedative effect and provide support when overstimulated, or when anxiety obscures our thoughts and fears. The range of health benefits enjoyed by frequent users of skullcaps is due to the presence of various phenolic compounds and flavones, which affect the body in different ways.

PASSIONFLOWER

Passionflower provides support when you can't "switch off" and get lost in maze-like thoughts. It helps to relieve anxiety, relieve restlessness and constant worries. Passionflower tea is used for insomnia, epilepsy, and is also highly regarded for its pain-relieving properties.

LAVENDER

A well-known calming herb with a reputation for helping people cope with anxiety, stress, and irritability. A potent ally for perfectionists and those simply burned out by the effects of long-term stress and fatigue.

HIBISCUS

This lush, vibrant flower adds a sweet and sour feel. Hibiscus helps build confidence when it comes to exploring the desires of the mind.

ROSE

Rose is a soothing anti-depressant and anti-inflammatory that relaxes and energizes us. Rose is a sensuous delight that brings feelings of joy, ease, protection, and self-compassion, especially to people who are dealing with anxiety, anger, or negative self-talk.

CHAMOMILE

Chamomile relaxes the systems in our physical and emotional bodies. In the same way that chamomile teaches us to balance our lives by slowing down, it also works on a more subtle level to balance our emotions.

Breath in, breath out and unwind.
