Medicine pipe blend
« on: October 19, 2013, 02:17:20 pm »
My father asked for a non tobacco smoking blend so he could occasionally enjoy a pipe with me while avoiding a nicotine buzz. 
2 parts Mullein, 2 parts sumac leaf, .5 parts coltsfoot.  spritzed with watered down maple syrup and allowed to dry.  Pretty good for around the fire.

Can you inhale sumac or is this a different species than the one that gives the itchy rash?

Staghorn sumac is not poisonous. It mellows out the mullein, adds some depth  and helps keep the burn even.
Even so, don't inhale. coltsfoot stimulates coughing. If you need the medicinal properties, a tea is a better use of the herbs.

I did.  Seasoned maple works very well.  I was going to work up a bunch for trades, but ran out of seasoned branches.Next year :)

Very nice.  Here is a link to a little blog that I did on tobacco "additives" or kinnickinick...  http://frenchinwisconsin.com/2012/11/minomaaso-apaakozigan/

I did a bigger article on this that was published, but hey... I enjoy a pipe occasionally!
