Smokable Tea ☕💨
This smokable tea is a house favorite. I call it "Night Night" because its great for bed time. Its relaxing and vivid dream inducing. The recipe makes enough to save for later as you only need about around a tablespoons of the mix for your cup of tea; and just enough for a bowl pack. Store in a jar for up to a year, not that it will last that long 😉
About the Herbs:
Damiana- reduces stress and may heighten libido, improves nervous system and works to improve overall health
Mugwort- antioxidant, enhances dreams, good for insomnia
Hops- mellow relaxant, tension reliever, very calming
Skullcap- sedative like effects, removes toxins, reduces inflammation
Valerian root- sedative like effects, calm your mind, eases anxiety
Catnip- sedative like effects, calming
Blue lotus flower- psychoactive, great for religious ceremonies, lucid dreaming
Tumblr media
Recipe:
3T Damiana
1T Mugwort
1T Hops
IT Skullcap
1.5t Valerian root
1.5t Catnip
1.5t Blue lotus flower
I hope y'all enjoy! Drink and smoke responsibly 💜

Herbs For Health
Hi, Sweet Friends! I have done many herbal posts in the past, but none have helped me as much as the 3 herbs I will be sharing today. Raspberry Leaves, Grape Leaves, and Plantain Leaves. I have also used fresh Grape Leaves in family recipes handed down through generations. (As with anything that you add to your diet that you might have questions about, consult your healthcare professional if…

Fire Cider
This is what I started my herbalist journey with. Gathering the items and making sure I had enough of everything was a big effort, when I realized I needed everything around the same time and couldn't get everything at the store. Which is one thing that I realized as I continued my journey, I either need to find the items I need in the wild, grow my own, or order online and attempt to find the best price for the quality I wanted. I ended up ordering the items I couldn't get at the store, and waited until they arrived to get the rest of my items at the store.
Putting this together in the jar was an experience, and I wish I knew where the pictures were. All of the ingredients make the jar look beautiful before the first shake. I know you'll be hesitant to give it it's first shake, but to help the benefits infuse with the vinegar it's best to shake it then place it in your cool dark spot. I picked a cupboard in my kitchen, since I'm in the kitchen a lot of the time, making this the perfect spot to store it for the time being.
So, why should you make this? And what benefits will come from using this?
Both are wonderful questions, and ones that I'm hoping to be able to answer. People who make Fire Cider claim that it helps boost immune systems to help fight off infections and to keep you healthy. The ingredients in the cider sound like a bunch of nonsense, but there are healing properties in the ingredients. I don't plan on going into detail on all of them in this post. One day, I'm hoping to give them their own pages. I will go into detail on a few of them though.
Garlic is a known purifier.
Lemon can be a disinfectant.
Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory (I like to take turmeric pills when I have colds, it seems to kick the symptoms right out of me if I catch it early enough).
Apple Cider Vinegar can help even out pH in the stomach (or so I've read a while ago. I'll be researching this again to back up this claim in the future).
Honey not only is antimicrobial but can help soothe an irritated throat from a cough.
This isn't all of the ingredients, but I will be going back to research them more in depth at a later date. If you give this recipe a try, please let me know how it turns out. One thing to note is that there are several different versions of this recipe and the one I use is not the end all of all Fire Ciders. Find a recipe that works for you, or tweak it to suit your own needs. I'm excited to see what benefits everyone notices from making their own fire cider, and how it helps them.
Fire Cider
Ingredients
- 1 Large Red Onion, Chopped
- 3 Heads Garlic, Chopped
- 1 Lemon with Peel, Diced
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Ginger Rhizome, Grated
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Turmeric Rhizome, Grated
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Horseradish Root, Grated
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Thyme, Arial Parts, Chopped
- 2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- A Few Fresh Cayenne or Jalapeno Peppers (optional)
- Honey To Taste (1/3 Cup)
- Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
- Half-Gallon Jar
Directions
Place all ingredients (except honey and vinegar) in a half-gallon jar, and cover with raw apple cider vinegar (cover herbs by a few inches).
Place a piece of natural wax paper over top of jar before tightly capping with lid.
Store in a dark cupboard for at least three weeks. Shake jar daily.
Strain herbs out of fire cider. Add warmed raw honey to taste, mix thoroughly and bottle.
Use within 6 months of bottling date.
To Use
Take 1 Tbsp. (half a shot), once a day as a tonic or up to 3 Tbsp. daily with active infection.
Notes
- Adding the wax paper between the cap and the liquid will help prevent the lid from rusting from the acid in the vinegar.
- The ingredients can be left to sit for a couple of months. This will make it a stronger concoction.
- The garlic may turn blue, this is a normal reaction.
- Sediment will form at the bottom. This can either be strained or shaken into the liquid before serving.
- Because the cider is made with a vinegar, equal parts water & fire cider can help
Observations
- When taken consistently, can help with infections
- A small dance after downing the shot can help the taste
- I'm terrible at consistency. This batch has lasted me over a year, and still seems to be going strong.
- We can store the cider in the fridge, but it makes the taste stronger

If, like me, you have always felt a strong connection to trees, I have a fun little activity for you to try! One of my newly acquired rituals when it comes to magical work is to collect fallen lichen when hiking in the woods, and use it in protection workings. For example, I love placing it near my bedpost and along windows! Lichen only grows in areas where the air is pure and clean, devoid of smog and protected from pollution. For this reason, and since I'm afflicted with a respiratory condition, I've always felt like lichen was a great symbol of healthy air and of a healthy environment in general. To me, it feels like it purifies whatever room in place it in, and many of the magical workings I use it for!

herbal teas guide —
🌿🍃 having conversations with my mutuals all over the world, i was stunned to find out that not every country/culture practices drinking herbal teas for health issues. as a slavic person i decided to create this little guide because – and i'm saying this as a skeptical person who hates superstitions – they really work. 🌿🍃
mint tea (mentha piperita) is for digestion and relaxation chamomile tea (matricaria chamomilla) is for digestive system horsetail tea (equisetum arvense) is for skin, hair, nails condition, remineralization and circulatory system linden tea (tilia cordata) is for a cold lemon balm tea (melissa officinalis) is for relaxation and sleep nettle tea (uritca dioica) is for urinary tract sage tea (salvia officinalis) is for when your throat or teeth hurt fennel tea (funiculum vulgare) is for digestive system white mulberry tea (morus alba) is for carbohydrate metabolism pansy tea (viola tricolor) is for clean skin and body detox purge tea (cistus incanus) is for immunity hawthorn tea (crataegus monogyna) is for heart and circulatory system damian leaves tea (turnera diffusa) is for anxiety and libido dandelion tea (taraxacum officinale) is for liver, stomach and digestion st john's wort tea (hypericum perforatum) is for emotional balance, good mood, digestive system and kidney function
🌿🍃 to create this guide i was using a booklet from my pharmacy store. if you google them, you will find out that each of these have even more usage methods than the ones listed. 🍃🌿
🌿🍃 if you're from a different country/culture and you know more herbal teas like these, feel free to add them. 🍃🌿
