Description

Calea (Calea Zacatechichi), often referred to as “Dream Herb,” is a Mexican shrub traditionally used by the Chontal people for dream exploration and spiritual insight. In traditional practice, the leaves were prepared as both a tea and a smoke before rest, paired with intention-setting rituals to encourage vivid dreaming and enhanced dream recall.

Naturally bitter in taste, Calea is also considered a relaxing botanical that may support restful sleep when used mindfully. Its bitter compounds have historically been used to stimulate digestion and appetite, making it both a ritual and functional herb. When approached with intention, Calea is regarded as a plant ally for introspection, imagination, and deeper connection to the dream world.

HERBAL SMOKING BLEND:

Once you’ve decided on the perfect Blissful Recipe, you’ll need to blend your herbs together.

  • BASIC FORMULA:
    – 2 tablespoons of THC or CBD Bud (optional)
    – 1 tablespoon of your beneficial herb choice
    – ½ tablespoon flavoring herb (optional)
  • HOW TO BLEND:
    Step 1: Grind your THC/CBD bud until it is fluffy, so it can act as a main base carrier.
    Step 2: Crumble any herbal leaves or flower petals you are using until they are small enough to combine with your base.
    Step 3: Combine all flower & herbs and fluff them together for the best smoking experience.
  • If smoking out of a pipe, coarse grinding is fine.
  • If smoking out of papers, a finer grind is recommended.

HOW TO STORE:

Bliss recommends storing your herbs in a metal or glass jar, with an airtight lid and out of direct sunlight. When storing/smoking herbs be aware of the dryness. If when smoking your herbs you notice a dry, harsh smoke, LIGHTLY spritz your dried herbs with water to make the blend more palatable.

PRO TIPS:

  • Add a small amount of honey to your water before spritzing your herbs for added sweetness!
  • If you over moisten your herbs, simply remove the lid overnight to allow the excess moisture to evaporate.
