Like many herbs, people often recognize hemp for its medicinal benefits. In fact, hemp flower can easily pair well with other herbs and botanicals to enhance certain healing properties. Blending hemp with a variety of other natural herbs can allow you to customize your hemp experience and treat the symptoms you need to address. 

Additionally, hemp’s distinct smell and taste pairs uniquely with a diversity of other herbal fragrances. Picking herb blends suited to your preferred flavor profiles can make your hemp consumption more enjoyable. 

These 5 herbs are just a few examples of what to add to your hemp to boost healing properties as well as flavor. 

Lavender

Lavender is well known for its calming and relaxing properties. You can find it in aromatherapy products, beauty creams, and a variety of other health and wellness products that are made to help promote relaxation. 

Similarly to hemp, lavender is known to contain anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce pain and inflammation. Combined with hemp, the two herbs can promote a restful experience for anyone undergoing stress, pain, or other physical and psychological stressors.

Chamomile

Like lavender, many people also use chamomile to promote relaxation. It is often a popular ingredient in teas, and many people use it to wind down before bed or after a stressful day. 

Chamomile can have a calming effect on the body as well. It is also anti-inflammatory, and works particularly well in settling an upset stomach. 

If you use hemp to address digestive issues, chamomile might be a great herb to pair with your hemp flower. It’s subtle aroma also will also contribute positively to the blend. 

Echinacea

Echinacea is known for its ability to boost the immune system, and often appears in herbal remedies for common cold symptoms. In general, it has some powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can help fight infection, sickness, and chronic pain. 

Echinacea might make a particularly great pairing with hemp flower because of the special chemical compounds that it contains. N-acylethanolamines, or NAEs, interact with the endocannabinoid system–with the same bodily system through which CBD imparts its effects. The NAEs interact with enzymes in the endocannabinoid system and engage cannabinoid receptors. This means that paired with hemp, echinacea could enhance and compliment the healing effects of CBD. 

Mint

A well-known herb, most people are familiar with mint in teas, cooking, baking, and a variety of herbal medicines. Mint can aid with digestion and calm upset stomachs, and thus would also make a good herb to mix with hemp for anyone who experiences nausea or indigestion.

Mint is also rich in a variety of nutrients, including vitamin A, fiber, iron, manganese, and folate. 

Finally, the herb is also undeniably pleasant in its smell and taste. Its refreshing flavor makes it a worthy choice for mixing with smokable hemp flower, especially for anyone who wants a less “skunky” smelling hemp blend. 

Mugwort

Often called the “dream herb”, mugwort is famous for boosting creativity while waking and causing vivid dreams during sleep. You can consume Mugwort as a tea, a tincture, or by smoking it. This makes it viable for blending with dried hemp flower and smoking.

Mugwort is a great option for anyone who wants to lift their spirits and open their mind without experiencing an intense “high”. Paired with low THC high CBD hemp, mugwort can boost your energy and creativity, all while staying sober. 

Herbal Blends are Seemingly Limitless

Obviously, this non-exhaustive list does not include nearly all of the herbs that can pair with hemp. There are hundreds of herbs with valuable properties that can help target specific symptoms when paired with CBD.
