Although herbal smoking mixtures will not cause you to quit tobacco, they can aid in the process if you are ready as it is only you who can cause you to stop. There are a variety of herbal mixtures that can be helpful and that have attained a great position in the international market.
Initially, a thick bodied flavored smoke with Lobelia is suggested. Drop the Lobelia smoke when the physical withdrawal is finished with and use a calming smoke with lots of astringent herbs. As it is a fact that no herbal smoking mixture will give you the taste as thick as tobacco, you can add some Mullein and possibly some expectorants to help in the cleansing process.
Ultimately, you can cut the astringents and just go with the very light Mullein alone. It will feel you as you are not really smoking anything as mullein are so light. As a result, you will eventually lose interest in it.
This course of therapy is just an example. You can modify it to your own personal requirements.
Other herbs that may be helpful during the withdrawal process are:
- Salicylate herbs (such as Oak and Willow that can help with headaches)
- Calming herbs (such as parrot’s beak, Valerian, and Skullcap)
- A liver stimulant (such as Goldenseal or Oregon Grape Root that may help your body remove the nicotine quicker)
Although the last of the above list will not make the withdrawal symptoms easier, they will certainly be speeded up. |
