Herbs can be used in rituals and/or for medicinal purposes such as in teas, tinctures, and smoking blends. At Orion’s Apothecary, we believe smokable herbs are more than just aromatic—they’re tools for grounding, presence, and well-being.
Whether you’re looking for a tobacco-free alternative or exploring a more mindful smoke, our handcrafted herbs to smoke offer a natural way to connect with plant medicine.
What Are Smokable Herbs?
Smokable herbs (also called smokeable herbs) are dried botanicals that can be burned and inhaled in small quantities—either on their own or as part of a blend. These herbs have been used across cultures for purification, ceremony, relaxation, and even respiratory support.
Common smoking herbs include mullein, marshmallow leaf, damiana, peppermint, and mugwort—all chosen for their soothing, aromatic, and energetically aligned properties.
Why Smoke Herbs? Benefits of Herbal Smoking Blends
Smoking herbs may sound counterintuitive, but certain plant allies—like mullein—are known to soothe the lungs and promote easier breathing. In addition to physical support, herbs to smoke can uplift your mood, focus your mind, or ground your energy.
Unlike tobacco, these blends are nicotine-free, non-addictive, and thoughtfully crafted to support intentional use.
