Native Americans used Lobelia for syphilis and expelling or destroying intestinal worms, besides using it as an emetic and physic. Much has been written as to whether this herb is poisonous or not, but experience has proven it far from being a poison, in that traditionally, it is a common antidote for many poisons, whether animal or vegetable variety.
Lobelia is dual in its activities; it is both a relaxant, and also an stimulant. In small doses, it acts as a stimulant, while in large doses it will cause relaxation. Lobelia is one of the most valuable herbs in botanic practice, invaluable as a synergistic herb for strengthening a variety of herbal formulas. Normally, it is chiefly used as an emetic, when given in small doses for an irritable stomach it will stop any spasmodic vomiting. It tends to also remove obstructions from every part of the system and is felt even to the very ends of the toes. It is beneficial in the treatment of asthma, bronchitis, colds and flu, cardiovascular diseases, epilepsy, pain, and viral infection.
Recently, Lobelia is widely known traditionally as a specific for aiding in stopping the addictive habit of tobacco. Its action makes it almost impossible to continue smoking, while taking Lobelia at the same time, due to its strong emetic action, causing one to feel sick on contact with nicotine. [Experience has shown that in large quantities (referred to by the FDA) Lobelia may be toxic in quantities of several ounces or more, if taken as one dose. This was verified by the FDA, by injecting huge amounts into rats and then telling the public that it was extremely dangerous.]
