Stop Smoking Harmful Cigarettes - transition to Herbal Smoking Blend And, gradually become a non-smoker by choice.
Because cigarette smoking reaps such a harmful health harvest for smokers and those around them, and the industry pollutes our environment with cancerous chemicals simply in the production, we thought we would share the ways in which Nature and the herbal medicine pantheon can help contribute to the cessation of the cigarette smoking habit and addiction. The smoke from plants has been used therapeutically all around the planet for thousands of years. This includes using plants for smudge, saunas, and other inhalation and geohydrotherapeutic methods for healing. Most native cultures also smoked the plants, using pipes. We may know this in the context of ceremonial use, yet it was also a practice - not a habit -engaged in to center and calm. Indeed, that in itself is a ritual to healthfully cultivate- to center and calm ones' self on a regular basis.
The Herbal Smoking Blend is Transitional
The process is simple- reach for the herbal blend instead of a cigarette- although to clarify , this is undertaken in prescriptive doses. You may roll your own, use a rolling machine, or a pipe. People report these experiences: ~ One herbal cigarette , or less than one, satisfies ~ The herbs themselves bring a mellowing, calming effect to the mind and emotions ~ The aroma is pleasant, as opposed to the rather awful smell of cigarette or cigar smoke ~ Clients gradually switch, while decreasing all smoking behavior, including that of using the herbal blend. In this way it does provide a transition - one from smoking - to smoking something different and healthier, - to much less smoking - to not smoking. So- consider this as an aid to your own desire and effort to quit smoking commercial cigarettes. It is NOT that you smoke a prescriptive herbal blend in the same habitual, "light one after another" way that people may smoke commercial cigarettes. It is that you use another type of smoking blend, in much smaller prescriptive doses, as a temporary measure while you transition from being a smoker to being a conscious non smoker- one who is free of a bad habit. Let me add, that therapeutic herbs are ALWAYS USED consciously, within prescribed parameters, (generally dictated by a trained and experienced medicinal herbalist) for any and all health needs, illnesses and wellness goals, whether topically, internally, or as smoked or otherwise infused into the air. Let us be completely sensible- even an excess of peppermint tea may cause harm. Herbal Smoking Mix is to be used as directed. Additionally, herbs may be recommended which help the aspiring ex smoker to support the liver, ease anxiety, assist digestive function, and support general tissue cleansing.
~ Additional herbal therapies to support and build the nervous system, calm, improve sleep, and decrease anxiety may be recommended to positive effect for clients taking the path to quit smoking cigarettes. The Herbs Used Are Therapeutic
A variety of herbs have been used in this country, including mullein and coltsfoot- which are actually helpful to lung conditions when used judiciously and therapeutically! Other herbs include Uva ursi, small amounts of lobelia, common garden sage, and yerba santa. The term "kinnikinnick" may be used to refer to herbs which are mixed for the purpose of smoking, and we may also find that term in connection with the specific herb , Uva ursi. The herbs are NON ADDICTIVE- in sharp contrast to cigarettes produced by tobacco companies . I know of no one who has become addicted to this herbal smoking blend. I would say these herbs go beyond "tobacco substitutes", (which implies a habit ) and into the realm of useful therapeutic herbs, (which implies an aid to quit smoking cigarettes, as presented on this web site ) which commercial cigarettes were never a part of. Tobacco is used by some groups ceremonially, yet it is not a part of our herbal " stop smoking " blend.
The Herbal Smoking Blend is available by the bag - $16.00 per bag plus $4 shipping/postage, and also by the package of rolled, $16.00 for 10 rolled , plus shipping/postage. This blend is rolled into filtered tubes which look exactly like commercial cigarettes, thus making them easier for the client to begin using as a prescriptive measure towards the cessation of tobacco habits. |
