Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 My neighbor went to the " herb doc " as some call this man. I do not know much about him. She went with headaches. This guy is one that looks into your eyes and tells you what is wrong. Anyone know what that is called? Anyway, he gave her several herbs to take including indian tobacco. She has high blood pressure and I thought the that herb was not good for people with high blood pressure. Please correct me is I am wrong. I am trying to find out what else she has. I do know that her headaches get very bad and when they are...do NOT talk to her. Personally i think her hormones are out of balance, along with stress. She has had medical tests and they just put her on too much medication. I just need opinions about this herb. Susan in ky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hi =0) It is called iridology and it really is a good source of information about the body! Now the Indian tobacco {Lobelia inflata } is used for asthma...it stimulates respiration and make you sweat more,it also reduces inflammation and it's an expectorant. It's not given to pregnant woman or people with heart complaints. That's all I know...I hope it helps =0) Karly looks into your eyes and tells you what is wrong. Anyone know what that is called?

It is called Iridology. http://www.medicomm.net/Consumer%20Site/am/iridology.htm and I have no opinion of it one way or another. I would suggest further research on your neighbors part .

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hello: Indian Tobacco is another name for " Mullein " (as the Indians did smoke the dried Mullein Leaves as a relaxant). Mullein are those big tall velvety-green leaves with the tall-yellow spikes in the spring. The plant grows about 3-5 feet tall along country-roads/gardens. I have always heard good healing properties with Mullein, esp. Tea.-- - In herbal remedies , " susan134 " <susan134> wrote: > > > My neighbor went to the " herb doc " as some call this man.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 " Good answer " ...I guess " Indian Tobacco " is a term that is used interchangeably for many Herbs...by this I mean, not only did I read that Mullein is also called Indian Tobacco but I grew a Mullein- Plant in my garden (see prev. post)and a woman from Jamacia said once " We smoke those leaves in our country " ; which proves Mullein Leaves are a known type of " Indian " Tobacco. The American-Indians used to line their Mocassins with the Large Velvety Mullein-Leaves in Winter. But Biologically you are correct...Indian Tobacco is a Lobelia Plant! herbal remedies , Karly Gray <karly.gray@g...> wrote: > > *Hi =0)* > *It is called iridology and it really is a good source of information about > the body!* > *Now the Indian tobacco {Lobelia inflata } is used for asthma...it > stimulates respiration and make you sweat more,it also reduces inflammation > and it's an expectorant.* > *It's not given to pregnant woman or people with heart complaints.* > *That's all I know...I hope it helps =0)* > *Karly* > > looks into your eyes and tells you what is wrong.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 My understanding of Iridology is that is used as a Diagnostic-tool. But I look in people eyes all the time and I see " cataratchs(film) " constantly...so reading People's eye-health is really really easy. But on to Indian-Tobacco aka Lobelia...All Lobelia-Herbs are to be taken with caution...the action of Lobelia is that it acts as a relaxant on the Lungs and all collected mucous will be expelled. But you say your friend has headaches. This herb is not for headaches. In fact this Herb can cause Headaches and alot more. What else in this Herb mixture? we don't want her getting " sicker " .
