Thank God for Smoking Lavender

We love smoking lavender so much, it is so hard for us not to add it to every blend!

From the scent to the color, its one of our favorite herbs to smoke, vape, bathe or drink. That is why CALM blend is such a favorite and SLEEP does its job!

History of Smoking Lavender

The use of lavender goes back 2,500 years to the Egyptians, Phoenicians and the people of Arabia. They used lavender as a perfume and for mummification. In Ancient Greece, it was used to treat insomnia and back aches. For the Romans, lavender cost 100 denarii per pound. Equivalent to a full month’s wage for a farm laborer. Romans scented their baths with lavender. And they used dried lavender in their smoking mixtures.¹
