Winter Smoke: herbal smoking blend
A blend of mild smoking herbs to contemplate the revolution and/or state of the world by :::
Blended from 4 renowned smoking herbs: Mullein – this large fluffy leaf has a long history in European and Native American folk medicine and is a soft, light and gentle herb for smoking. Renowned as a lung tonic, when smoked it can actually help you stop coughing when you're sick as well as soothe inflamed/infected lungs and prevent coughing until infection or inflammation is broken. Then it aids in expectoration, helping to break up congestion and promote “effective” coughing. Amazing right?!
Red Raspberry Leaf – is one of the original cigarette herbs, introduced to the world by Native American women who used them for rolling papers. With a slow burn and neutral taste, it’s a good alternative for those wanting to quit smoking, neutralising poison that’s been caused by the nicotine content in tobacco cigarettes.
Spearmint – (and all mint family) is another popular smoking herb mostly for the flavour that it imparts on the blend.
Rose – may seem like a novelty addition but actually makes a beautiful smoking herb and when smoked can produce a sense of peace, increase relaxation, act as an aphrodisiac and decrease depression. None of these herbs cause a psychoactive effect but you may feel a slight euphoric rush at the beginning. However this won’t last long and the only lingering effect should be a boost in mood.
And if smoking is not your thing then just as it is, this blend also makes a gentle, delicious and nutritious tea to support lung health, heart health, reproductive health and assist digestion. See below for guidance on how to enjoy as a simple tea*.
Suggested Use: Enjoy rolled in natural papers or packed in a pipe. Smoke on its own, mixed with tobacco or other herbs.
Smoking Tip: if it feels too harsh/burny when smoked, spritz your blend with a little water to reintroduce moisture.
*As a Tea: steep 1 teaspoon in 1 cup of boiling water for 5-15 minutes. Just be sure to strain through a cheesecloth or coffee filter before drinking to remove the fine hairs (from Mullein) which can irritate the throat.

What is Mutual Aid? Who am I "paying forward" to?
In our attempt to make plant medicines more accessible for all, Seed Medicine Garden sends regular free medicine donations to communities as needs arise. In the past this has included Indigenous activists, youth leaders and trans youth, as well as homeless single mothers, refugees and members of the disabled community.
When you "pay forward" 1 or 2 products, you will still receive one (or selected quantity) of your chosen medicine as well as donating the credit for 1 or 2 products to go towards our herbal mutual aid projects.
There seems to be an increasing call for plant support through these times and we are continually seeking pathways to those who need it most. Please contact us: connect@seedmedicine.garden if you or a community you know is without financial means but needing herbal care.
