In American history, from Samuel Thompson - one of the great 18th century herbalists - to Dr. John Christopher, Lobelia was an important curing plant. This is the only herb that Dr. Christopher devoted an entire chapter to in his herbal book. Although currently in America the FDA has cautioned us on using this plant, in Europe it is an important over-the- counter drug sold in many modern drug stores. To begin with, alkaloids are one of the most powerful of all plant chemicals. Not all plants have them. Some have a few, but Lobelia ranks high, 14 different alkaloids. I am explaining this so you will understand that we know very little about this plant except that it is a powerful healer.
It has two main uses, first as an antispasmodic and second as a bronchial dilator and expectorant. As an anti-spasmodic, it is second to none, and will relax the entire body and organs. This is why it is the main ingredient in the Nervine Antispasmodic and also in the Nervine Sedative. It is the greatest herb for problems with the lungs. I have seen it work with a hundred different disorders, When in doubt, try it!
