(2/2) Making a Corn Cob Pipe w/ The Urban-Aboriginal

In this video I show how I make a corn cob pipe. WARNING: Smoking is inherently bad for your health. Carbon-monoxide and tar build up in the lungs are dangerous by-products of smoking. This video is not intended to promote unhealthy lifestyle habits. It is purely for educational purposes. Below are links to sources for materials presented in this video. Herbal smoking blends have been known to support respiratory issues mainly through expectoration. I am not an herbalist nor a healthcare professional. Please consult with your own healthcare professional and/or certified clinical herbalist to help you choose what is right for you. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH! There’s something fascinating about the alchemy of herbs and smoke. Part of it is visual. We can see the plants undergoing a violent physical change as they are transformed into smoke and ash. It’s also something that we can experience as we breathe in. The smoke has a taste and a texture, and it resonates with us at an emotional and physical level. We resonate with it as well. Whether used to help or to harm, there are over 1500 plants that have been documented for use as smoke at some point in the past. Uses for these plants varied widely. They were used for repelling insects, for supporting the health of the lungs, for veterinary needs, to balance or influence the emotions, or even as weapons during warfare. It’s believed that the use of plants by smoking them has been present in some form in every culture and society in human history (Jenner, 2015), so the study and occasional use of plants in this capacity is nothing new. It transcends boundaries of time and geography for a fascinating glimpse into botanical history [2]. Winter Mullein Blend: 2 Tablespoons mullein leaf ½ Tablespoon horehound leaf 1 teaspoon peppermint leaf 1 teaspoon water + a few drops of honey "Mullein is a fine medicinal for the lungs, even when you smoke it. It soothes inflamed or infected lungs, and prevents coughing until infection or inflammation is broken. Then it aids in expectoration, helping to break up congestion and promote “effective” coughing. It was smoked to stop the coughing of tuberculosis years ago. It is wonderful for any kind of lung cleansing. Very gentle and non-toxic, you can use it anytime. If you are a smoker, and you are sick and can’t stop coughing from a cold, you can smoke some Mullein instead of Tobacco. It may help you to stop coughing, and you will have smoked one less cigarette. If you are not a smoker, stick with tincture (extract) or Mullein tea. After all, there’s no need to smoke when you’re sick in your lungs....[3]" References: 1) https://www.artofmanliness.com/articl... 2). https://theherbalacademy.com/herbal-s... 3). https://botanicalstudies.net/herbalis... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you found this video or my channel inspiring or useful please click the donate link here https://www.paypal.me/studioryu/1 Thank you for your support!
