Calendula
Calendula officinalis
Bright. Uplifting. Dreamy.
Calendula, also known as pot marigold, is a vibrant, smokable flower long associated with healing, clarity, and spiritual connection. Its bright orange petals don’t just bring colour to your blend, they carry centuries of ceremonial use and botanical wisdom [1].
In India, Calendula is offered to Hindu deities as a sacred adornment [2]. The Aztecs and Mayans used it in ancient rituals as both an offering and a healing sacrament. Today, you'll still find Calendula flowers gracing home altars during Día de los Muertos in Mexico and Central America—a symbol of remembrance, light, and life [3].
But beyond its sacred symbolism, Calendula holds a unique place in herbalism as both a healing ally and a dream enhancer.
Often considered a dream herb, Calendula is known to support lucid dreaming, bringing vivid, memorable, and often invigorating dream states. For those exploring consciousness through sleep, it may become a subtle yet powerful guide.
Calendula delivers a smooth, citrusy smoke with a light floral finish and a gently uplifting energy. When added to a blend, it helps balance the burn, soften the inhale, and elevate the experience. It's an excellent tobacco alternative for those who prefer a more gentle and flavourful ritual.
Beyond its smoking qualities, Calendula supports:
Lucid and vivid dreaming
Calming muscle spasms
Soothing coughs and lung irritation
Ulcer and wound healing
Menstrual balance
An uplifting, smooth smoke with a soft citrus note
Delicate in form. Potent in spirit.
Calendula brings clarity, healing, and a subtle spark of magic to your smoking ritual.
Note: Always consult your physician before using herbs to treat medical conditions, especially if taking medications such as antidepressants.
