I Love Lobelia! I wish it would be in every home’s first aid kit.<\/h3>\n

It is an indigenous\u00a0 North American annual plant…..<\/h5>\n

… in the same family as the beautiful flower garden border, but the medicinal species is Lobelia inflata<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0 It is sometimes called Indian Tobacco because the American Indians smoked it for various benefits. One of the most studied active ingredients is a plant alkaloid called lobeline.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"lobelia\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lobelia is among the most beneficial herbs for the respiratory system.<\/h3>\n

Lobelia Inflata<\/em><\/strong> is a third degree medicinal herb. It has so many positive actions that Dr. John Christopher has a whole chapter in his \u201cSchool of Natural Healing\u201d<\/em> textbook dedicated to lobelia.\u00a0 Some of\u00a0 the following properties make it one of the essential herbs to have on at hand in every home:<\/p>\n

Deobstruant:<\/em><\/strong> Lobelia has the ability to remove obstructions, and is a very effective expectorant. This makes it effective in loosening and helping with expectoration of mucous, especially in the respiratory tract and stomach.\u00a0 It is a very good respiratory stimulant and broncho-dilator.<\/p>\n

Lymphatic:<\/em><\/strong> It helps to cleanse and stimulate movement of lymph fluid, thus aiding this important part of our immune system, a critical part of our body\u2019s natural waste disposal.<\/p>\n

Nervine:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Lobelia is one of nature\u2019s strongest relaxant nervine herbs. Because of its ability to relax the sympathetic nervous system, it has been used effectively for nervous excitement, hysteria, relaxing\u00a0 tight colon (spastic constipation, IBS), hiatal hernia, diaphramatic tension and pain.<\/p>\n

Antispasmodic: <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0stops spasms so is useful for muscle spasms, cramps, convulsions, seizures, irregular heart beat,\u00a0 bronchial spasms such as in asthma, coughs, COPD.<\/p>\n

Analgesic, Anodyne: <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0effective for painful conditions such as teething, earache, muscle and joint inflammation, kidney or gall bladder stones, stiff neck, injuries. Helps eliminate pain and toxins of poisonous bites and stings. Apply externally, as well as taking internally.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stop smoking<\/u><\/em><\/strong>:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Medical Claim approved by Health Canada:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lobelia can help quit smoking<\/strong>, by helping to reduce the body\u2019s craving for nicotine and easing withdrawal symptoms\u201d. One of Lobelia\u2019s active constituents is lobeline, which has a similar chemical composition to nicotine. This makes Lobelia very effective for those wishing to stop smoking, as lobeline helps fill the nicotine receptor sites which create cravings, without<\/em> any addictive effect or weight gain. Lobelia\u00a0 can help reduce cravings and decrease\u00a0 nicotine withdrawal-induced depression.<\/p>\n

Take a few drops (up to .5ml)\u00a0 under tongue, hold 30 seconds. Repeat, as needed, up to 20 times per day.<\/p>\n

Doing a cleanse, such as the Detox Basics<\/a><\/strong> (30 day) , can help make the shift to a positive lifestyle.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

DOSAGE AND APPLICATION FOR LOBELIA<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is the Lobelia inflata<\/strong><\/a> we have used professionally for 35 years with all ages, from young children with whooping cough,\u00a0 to 85 year seniors with COPD. It is also available in capsule form in US.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Internally<\/u><\/strong> – In liquid extract form a few drops of Lobelia can be squirted or dropped under the tongue. A calibrated dropper can be used adult dosage is .5ml. (1\/10 tsp.) taken in repeated dosages for desired effect or up to one teaspoon at once for a deeply relaxing effect. For children or alcohol contraindication, pour some boiling water over Lobelia alcohol extract and let sit one – two minutes until alcohol evaporates.<\/p>\n

Misinformation has been written about Lobelia as toxic – the main result of an excess of Lobelia is emesis, as Lobelia is also prized as an emetic in higher dosages.\u00a0 Once a person has vomited, and the offending substance removed, whether it be poison, mucous, etc. a person will feel the better for it.<\/p>\n

Externally<\/u><\/strong>:<\/u> rub a couple of drops on the affected area. For teething, one drop can be rubbed on the gums. For ears: aches, congested, tinnitus: 2 drops in ear; lie down opposite side.<\/p>\n

\u201cLobelia is the most powerful diffusive stimulant known in herbal medicine. After taking a dose it instantly permeates the whole system, removing obstructions wherever found and restoring a healthy action wherever needed. When taken inwardly, it acts like intelligence. Give lobelia and it will find the disease and assist nature to overcome it.\u201d \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em> Dr. John Christopher<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
