Mystic Herbs
Blue Lily
The beautiful blue flowers of this much revered lily (a.k.a. Blue Lotus) were smoked and ingested by the ancient Egyptians, producing a subtle, calming and etheric effect. Blue Lily otherwise known as sacred lily of the Nile, is a delicious relaxing smoke. Cleopatra was particularly enamored with this herb and it was even represented in early Egyptian art. It creates a dream-like state and provides for a deep sleep afterwards. Use these dried Blue Lily flowers as a tea, tincture, or smoke.
Now available in whole leaf, milled leaf and 250g bags!

Calea
The leaves of this Mexican shrub were traditionally used for lucid dreaming. A combination of smoking and drinking an infusion of the herb before bed, setting intention and focusing on one’s heartbeat is said to create the conditions for dreamtime spiritual journeying. We have a new FRESH source of this divine dreaming herb, and we are very pleased with the quality!

Coltsfoot
The name of this herb means ‘cough stopper’ and has been used for that very reason for millennia. Coltsfoot clears mucous from the lungs, soothes lung tissue and stops wheezing.
Coltsfoot contains small amounts of zinc; this has resulted in its restriction in Australia, therefore COLTSFOOT IS NOT SOLD FOR INTERNAL CONSUMPTION.
Legally, Coltsfoot cannot be taken as a tea (despite millennia of safe use) but it can be smoked, which surprisingly still works wonders. Preparation: Outside of Australia, Coltsfoot can be taken as a tea. In Australia, mix with tobacco to minimise negative effects of the tobacco, or smoke small amounts over the day for coughs.

Greater Celandine
When smoked it is enjoyed for its light euphoric & sedating effect. It is often sold as Opi-8. Greater Celandine is often used internally for treating gallbladder problems. It stops spasms at the same time it stimulates the production of bile to flush gallstones away. It is used for digestive pains and jaundice. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Greater Celandine is used as a pain-relieving cough medication.

Lion’s Tail
The Khoisan, a nomadic African tribe, cultivated Lion’s Tail (also known as Motherwort or Wild Dagga) and they regard it even today as a panacea for all kinds of illnesses including asthma, coughs, colds, diabetes, diarrhoea, fever, skin diseases, snake bite, menstruation and worms, as well as a liver tonic.
The Khoisan were also known to use the root as a brew for ceremonial occasions and would smoke the leaf, playing drums and dancing well into the night, assisted by the euphoric effects of their Wild Dagga tea. When smoked, Lion’s Tail gives a short-lasting extroverted exuberance and positive feeling. Lion’s Tail may help cannabis smokers reduce or quit, and is a valuable alternative to tobacco.
Our Lion’s Tail is grown locally in northern NSW. We are proud to support local herb growers. We aim to have Lion’s Tail available all year round but keep in mind its harvesting is seasonal and so sometimes stock is limited.

Lobelia
Lobelia is also known as ‘Indian Tobacco’ as many native North American tribes traditionally used it as a smoking herb, and alternative to tobacco (yet it is non-addictive). Lobelia contains Lobeline which is believed to have a chemical make up similar to nicotine. Studies have found lobeline to stimulate the release of dopamine.
Due to the toxicity of the active constituent Lobeline when taken internally, THIS HERB IS NOT SOLD FOR INTERNAL USE IN AUSTRALIA (only as a smoking herb or for topical use). In high doses, lobelia can induce vomiting (yet it is still used internally in other countries, as a low dose botanical).

This herb may be smoked as it is 100% natural and free from nicotine.

Red Lily
Enjoy the dreamy and relaxing effects of these Red Lily (Nymphaea rubra) flowers. This aquatic perennial is closely related to both Blue and White Lily species, which have been revered in Egypt as well as Central America for millennia. Although there is much less information regarding this particular species, anecdotal reports describe the relaxing, mood enhancing and dreamy effects as very similar. Lilies are used to reduce anxiety, improve mood and assist sleep. Can be used as a tea or tincture as well.

Sinicuichi
Also known as Sun Opener, the name Sinicuichi comes from the Aztecs and is still used by Mexican shamans as a trance divination catalyst. They regard it as a sacred herb, enabling vivid recall of past distant events. Some users even report the remembrance of pre-birth events! The most common traditional preparation method was as a fermented tea, but it is also used as a smoking herb.
Often causes a yellowing of the vision and altered acoustic perception. May induce feelings of calmness and unity. Slows heartbeat, relaxes muscles, reduces blood pressure.

White Lily
This Central American species of white water lily is an aquatic perennial from the Mayan lowlands, and the elevated plateaus of Chiapas. It may be easily confused with the European White Lily (Nymphaea alba) or the Egyptian White Lotus (Nymphaea lotus) – and has similar reported effects. As a smoking herb, these three lilies seem to be used interchangeably.
It is often depicted in Mesoamerican art – in images of Teotihuacan (the rain god), sprouting from the backs of crocodiles, entwined around the head of the ‘earth monster’ and adorning dancing jaguars. Many of these images seem to convey visionary scenes.
As a tea, liqueur or smoke, White Lily is said to have sedating, dreamy and even psychoactive effects.

Wild Lettuce
Wild Lettuce has been used for ceremonial and medicinal purposes as far back as ancient Egypt, where it was associated with the god Min. As a tea, Wild Lettuce is commonly used to help induce sleep, creating a calming feeling, as well as being a nervous system tonic. It was used in the 19th century by physicians when opiates could not be obtained. It was traditionally used by the native North Americans for lucid dreaming purposes.
