Blue Lotus Herbal Smoke
Making Herbal Smoking Blends With Blue Lotus
Have you tried smoking blue lotus? It’s a beautiful flower that is most often used for its calming and relaxing properties. Blue lotus is known for its ability to reduce stress, improve mood, and even help with insomnia. When smoked, it is non-addictive and has a sweet, slightly bitter taste. It can be mixed with other herbs, such as chamomile and lavender, to enhance the effects. Smoking blue lotus can provide a calming and peaceful experience that can help people relax and unwind.
We suggest making your own herbal smoking blends at home instead of purchasing store bought. Not only is the DIY route incredibly rewarding and empowering, but it ensures that you will have the freshest ingredients possible and gives you full control over the ingredients and flavor profiles. Not to mention, it can also save you money in the long run.
Start by gathering all the herbs that you want to include in your blend. Consider trying things that pair well with blue lotus like damiana, skullcap, marshmallow leaf, catnip, and lavender. Grind the herbs and spices into a fine powder and then mix them together in a bowl. Finally, roll the blend into paper cones or use a pipe to smoke it. Experiment with different ingredients and flavor profiles to find the perfect blend for you.
If you find your smoking blend too harsh, there are several herbs that you can use to smooth out the taste. Mullein, coltsfoot, marshmallow leaf, and raspberry leaf all make excellent bases for your smoking blend and can act as a ‘filler’ ingredient to tone down other, harsher tasting herbs.

A Note On Smoking Lobelia
Although lobelia is included in this recipe, it is a completely optional ingredient. Smoking lobelia is similar to smoking nicotine in that it contains a chemical compound called lobeline, which has similar effects to nicotine but is not addictive. Lobeline acts as a stimulant, which can produce feelings of relaxation and mild euphoria. It is also thought to reduce the craving for nicotine, which is why it is sometimes used as an aid to help people quit smoking. Lobelia can cause some of the same side effects as nicotine, such as dizziness, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Some people may not enjoy smoking it, as the feeling can be similar to nicotine. If this isn’t for you – don’t worry! All of the ingredients in our recipe can be adjusted to your taste, and your smoking blend will still be delicious.
