Did You Know Some Medicinal Herbs Can Be Smoked?

Many people aren’t aware that smoking and inhaling herbs is an ancient way of administering medicine. Earlier this month we wrote a whole blog on this! While this may be a surprise, we bet the list of smokable herbs is actually longer and more surprising than you might expect.

In general, a lot of herbs can be smoked. That being said, some herbs are much better for this use than others - especially when it comes to both flavor and smoothness.

Are they used one at a time or together?

Most often when it comes to smoking, herbs are mixed together to create a specific taste and effect. These are known as herbal smoking blends. Herbs often work better when used as a group. This effect is known as the synergy effect.

These blends also help to ensure an enjoyable smoking experience, by blending the sometimes strong flavors of these plants together.

How are medicinal herbs smoked?

There are a few ways you can use our unique smoking blends.

One is to use rolling papers. Choose “natural” papers if you can. Commercially made papers are often loaded with chemicals.

Pipes are the most common ways to smoke herbs. From the old corn cob pipes to the new stainless steel pipes, there are many choices.

You can also use our blends in any vaporizer rated for herbs, which provides a vapor instead of a smoke.

Does Sun God make herbal smoking blends?

We do, and just like all of our other products they are made with organic medicinal herbs. We offer three certified organic smoking blends, and we recommend these smoking blends as tobacco alternatives. Each of our blends are formulated by an herbalist, and are 100% tobacco free.
