Lobelia comes in many varieties, but the one I’m focusing on here is Lobelia inflata. Lobelia contains an active called lobeline…because it acts much like nicotine, some use it as a way to ease off smoking. There is a way to do that with guidance from an herbalist who knows how.
Lobelia is used by some to open up breathing when the lungs are congested, but if too much is taken, it has emetic properties (will cause vomiting). Unless you know just what you are doing, it is one of those herbs that you are better off getting prepared, with instructions, from a very reliable source.
If you would like a fact sheet about any of the items marked in red, please send me an email. Thanks!
As you can see from the picture, it’s also a pretty weed/plant that can be appreciated whether you use it medicinally or not.
