Lobelia has been used for thousands of years by
Native Americans and later by Thomsonian and Eclectic physicians as
a strong antispasmodic to the lungs, heart and musculo-skeletal
system. It can be used effectively in combination with other herbs
for spasmodic coughing (bronchitis, asthma, pertussis). Lobelia is
also indicated for muscle spasms, petit mal epilepsy, hiccoughs, and
angina pain. |
