Conditions Treated Using Lobelia:
Name: Lobelia
Other Names: Rapuntium inflatum, Asthma weed, Bladderpod, Gagroot, Indian tobacco, Lobelia inflata, Pukeweed, Vomitroot
Description: Lobelia scientifically known as Rapuntium inflatum or Lobelia inflata also known as Asthma Weed, Indian tobacco, Pukeweed, Vomitwort, Bladderpod and Eyebright is a genus of flowering plant comprising 360–400 species. Lobelia’s dried flowering herb, and seeds are used as medicines. Lobelia’s habitats are dry places in the northern United States, Canada and Kamchatka and it is also grown in English gardens. It is used as expectorant, diaphoretic, anti-asthmatic. Some authorities attach great value to it as expectorant in bronchitis, others as a valuable counterirritant when combined with other ingredients in ointment form. It is sometimes given in convulsive and inflammatory disorders such as epilepsy, tetanus, diphtheria and tonsilitis. There is also difference of opinion with regard to its narcotic properties. Where relaxation of the system is required, as, for instance, to subdue spasm, Lobelia is invaluable. Relaxation can be counteracted by the stimulating and tonic infusion of capsicum. It may be used as an enema. Externally, an infusion has been found useful in ophthalmia, and the tincture can be used as a local application for sprains, bruises, or skin diseases, alone, or in powder combined with an equal part of slippery elm bark and weak lye-water in a poultice. The oil of Lobelia is valuable in tetanus.
