Guest guest Posted January 7, 1999 Report Share Posted January 7, 1999 Lobelia There are two herbal tinctures you must have on hand: Cayenne tincture and lobelia tincture. Cayenne prevents people from fainting and lobelia stops full body spasms. Lobelia in a large enough dose will induce vomiting. " Lobelia first dilates the bronchial tubes. It’s the first effect of a compound called lobeline. The second effect is that it stimulates the 10th cranial nerve, the vagus, to such a degree that you vomit. The lungs get squeezed, and fluid from the dilation comes out into the vomit. " Lobelia is a brilliant herb for kids. It dilates their bronchioles, it gets them breathing. The famous herbalist Samuel Thompson used two herbs mainly, cayenne and lobelia, And with those two herbs, it is estimated he helped 3.5 million people recover from their illnesses. Cayenne, he said, stimulated the circulation, and lobelia sedated and relaxed the body. Thompson used them back and forth, purge them and puke them, and then give them cayenne to bring them back to the planet. These two are unbelievable herbs. If using lobelia sounds radical, consider cutting and drilling a 4-inch incision through your side and inserting a probe to tap your lungs to drain the fluid out. I prefer lobelia. It is an antispasmodic, but it can almost be used with either the nerve sedatives or the nerve stimulators. There’s no real side effects to these herbs. You can use Lobelia on two, three and four-year-old children to get them breathing better. Best regards, Ian Shillington Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 Kim, Have you tried peppermint (real) or ginger tea, or candied ginger? My daughter seems to like the peppermint for queasy.

Let me tell ya...after the first capsule, I felt some relief. I've taken them regularly over the past two days, I haven't had to use my inhaler once. And that's good, even on a good day!!One problem, I know it's 'supposed' to do this, but is there any way to keep it from making you sick to your stomach?? This is why I am only taking one at a time, and only about 8 hours apart. But it still makes me very queasy. Somebody asked me at work tonight if I was preggers, lol!! Is it better to take it on an empty or a full stomach? I tried taking it a long time ago, but I started out with two capsules (that's why I had it onhand). Talk about sick! It was enough to make me not want to take it anymore...until of course recently. So I went easy on it.ThanksKim Y!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 NOPE. You want lobelia inflata...(also known as Indian tobacco) it is a whole lot different than the little blue purple flowers I ordered mine from Companion Plants as I could not find the right species anywhere around me... windflower song <windflowersong wrote: Is the lobelia used medicinally the same as the prettyblue-purple flowered garden variety? Pictures I haveseen (Mrs Grieves herbal, and other internet searches,look different...taller, lighter flowered. I wouldlike to use what I have growing if it the same thing,and would like to know where to get the other, if itis not. windflower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
