Smoking with local herbs: Experience tradition and well-being live!

There is a very special event on the program in Schöllkrippen in the contemplative pre-Christmas period: On January 18, 2026, a course under the motto “Smoking with local herbs” will be offered in the Rodberghütte. Organized by the Bavarian Farmers' Association, the topic of smoking is becoming increasingly popular and promises exciting insights into old traditions and modern applications.

Under the guidance of Julia Albert, an experienced yoga teacher, the participants immerse themselves in the diverse world of local herbs. The cost of the course is 20 euros per person, and this includes an incense mixture. Registrations are necessary and can be made by calling Marie Kristin Jung on 0151-12887737 or online at the Bildungswerk Bayern.

The importance of smoking with local herbs

But what makes smoking so special? Smoking is firmly anchored in many cultures and is used for cleansing, healing and promoting well-being. Local herbs such as sage and lavender not only bring wonderful scents, but also various effects. While sage is known for its cleansing properties, lavender has a relaxing and calming effect. A good reason to take a closer look at the selection and use of these herbs.

The practical application of smoking includes the use of charcoal or warmers and making incense bundles made from these herbs. The room should be well ventilated before smoking to optimize the effect. Many people intuitively integrate smoking into their everyday lives - be it for energetic cleansing or simply to create a pleasant atmosphere.

Herbs and their effects

The choice of herbs plays a crucial role, as each plant develops its own aromas and effects. Sage, mugwort, rosemary and laurel are particularly popular here and have different properties: from cleansing to stimulating to protective. There are also special incense blends that can be used for specific occasions or to clear a room.

Whether for festive occasions such as the Rough Nights or for relaxation on a quiet evening - the methods of smoking are varied. Whether with charcoal for an intense scent or gently with a warmer, the options are endless. Anyone who likes to get involved and experiment will quickly feel the calming or stimulating effect that smoking has.

For safe use, a few things should be taken into account: using a fireproof container, taking care when using coal and good ventilation are essential. Beginners in particular should start with small amounts and get to know the different herbs in a well-dosed manner.

If you feel addressed and are curious about the world of smoking with local herbs, you shouldn't miss the course in the Rodberghütte. A good knack for putting together custom incense blends could also stimulate your creativity and perhaps even establish new traditions in your home.
