Lobelia inflata

[@shainemaine1268]

Just smoked my first lobelia cigarette this evening. Very impressed, its about the same as tobacco but slightly different in effect (more body, less light-headed). Just dried the leaves and smoked them, very simple. None of the vomiting effects when smoked (definitely when ingested though. The second it hits your tongue.) Thanks for the post!

[@m.a.g.3920]

So you vomited when you used It orally? I've used around a gram in tea and didn't puke, perhaps if id used more...?

[@shainemaine1268]

@@m.a.g.3920 Ugh why won't KZbin let me reread my whole comment... "Read More" does absolutely nothing ('updates' lol... Fresh hell everytime!). And yes it was like eating terpentine or something, capsules must be the only way to get it down for me. Tobacco does this but to a much lesser extent! PS Know anyone who grows Lobelia Tupa ('Devil's Tobacco', her - reportedly more potent - South American sister?) I read it can be mildly hallucinatory, I tend to take claims like this seriously anymore as I get experience working with farflung little-known herbs! And has anyone PERSONALLY had any positive effect from the "Sun-Opener" (heimea salicifolia - I THINK it's right, old memory there)? It must require a flawless, complex preparatory process...

Hey dude, I love your passion for this. The on demand knowledge shows a lifetime of dedication to a better self. You’re amazing!

[@Redberryfarm888]

From "Narrative of the Life of Samuel Thompson" ... he states, " ... after I was four years old (1773), being our in the fields in search of the cows, I discovered a plant which had a singular branch, and pods that I never seen before. I had the curiosity to pick some of the pods and chew them. The taste and operation produced was so remarkable that I never forgot it. Afterwards, I used to induce other boys to chew it, merely by way of sport, to see them vomit. I tried this herb in this way for nearly twenty years, without knowing of its medicinal virtues. I had at that time (8 years old) a very good knowledge of the principal roots and herbs to be found in that part of the country..." Wow!

[@KP-bq7yc]

I was hopeful you would have a plant profile video on this plant that I've been hearing so much about in my herbalism studies. You certainly didn't let me down. Thank you.

[@isabelseeley1634]

thank you so much, i want to plant lobelia but i wanted to learn more about it. awesome info

[@sedoniadragotta8323]

Lobelia is a blue flower that has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine. It is colloquially known as Indian tobacco and is one of the best herbs to help curb smoking cravings. The active component of lobelia is called lobeline and this compound is known to have a similar effect on the body as nicotine

[@Mr.Pennington]

nice video, dont hear much on lobelia. Only others ive heard talk about it are John R. Christopher and Richard Schulze. Good info on Samuel Thomson too.

[@JudiChristopher]

I love Dr. John Christopher... Because of him, I haven't seen a Doctor for 30 years except to have my daughter 23 years ago!

[@venomous_spiderx7939]

Very educational. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

[@jt659]

Just read in one of my herbals that all of the various herbs called "indian tobacco" were used in the place of common tobacco in ritual. So maybe this is one of those.

[@omnirath]

Great video as always ! Very interesting too.For those who cannot have lobelia inflata around them they can use Lobelia cardinalis which contains lobeline too and have basically the same effect.

[@MJ-hl1kk]

The ornamental varieties are beautiful.

My doctor prescribed me Lobelia comp. to treat my Asthma

[@jimmysheikh6258]

And can you feel it helped you with ur asthma??

[@Viv8ldi]

@@jimmysheikh6258 Yes, it improved. But my new doctor found out that I have acid reflux, whichs fakes asthma symptoms. I stoped eating 3 hours before sleep, stopped drinking coffee as much and gurgled with baking soda. The asthma is gone. One indicator wether you might also have silent reflux is that when you notice when you have problems breathing in (not out), thats a sign of (silent) reflux.

[@Viv8ldi]

stop eating chocolalte, tomates, garlic, peppermint.

[@jimmysheikh6258]

Thats really good to hear. All of my breathing problems are always to breath in and never out actually. Okay - i will also try to stop eating some hours bfore sleeping and the other things u wrote such as tomato, choclate etc. I feel my asthma is always about breathing in which is difficult never out.

[@Viv8ldi]

@@jimmysheikh6258 that really sounds like silent reflux. REally try it, even the first day you should notice: Stop eating 2-3 Hours before bed and - and this is the part I forgot - the first week I didnt just gurle, I drank the soda water, but the first week I used 400mg of soda in a glas of water, I gurgled with it and I drank it, in the morning and the evning. 400mg is okay, people often take more, but you have to be careful because if you do it to long or if you take too much, your body produces again more acid to fight the calming effects of the baking soda. I already felt improvment the first day after drinking the 400mg of baking soda. Look up Dr. Jamie Koufmann, she also recommends to buy and drink alkaline water, but itss very expensive, you can prepare your own .

[@richardbell925]

WELL DONE THANK YOU

I read it can help with sleep apnea. Is this true?

[@trollmcclure1884]

they say that 4 grams may be fatal. I took some 2 grams two or three days ago and I feel dizzy AF. It's not a safe plant

[@Triple_Moon_Goddess]

2g of what? Fresh herb, dried, Tincture, tea?🤔

[@trollmcclure1884]

@@Triple_Moon_Goddess fresh herb smoothie. It may had been 3 grams. The deep blue variant. Whole plant with stems and flowers. I had to chop a similar handful and weigh it to get an idea. My swallowing was impaired. It fkd me for more than a week. When I smoked tobacco (which I did anyway) I felt much worse.

[@gundog4273]

2grams even if fresh herb is a fat dose. Cups of tea are made with teaspoons which is typically dry herb but still. I wouldn't recommend working with fresh herb on something that strong. You're dosing is bound to be inconsistent. It's not unsafe, it's strong. Some people can handle a 12gauge just fine. Some people are better off with a .22.

[@swaddington9399]

hey joe!! thanks for all your great videos. was wondering if you could tell me if you know anything about lobelia and blindness? i think i read that somewhere

[@feltingme]

Do you mean for healing blindness? You can also check out Dr. Christopher eye formula. All of his writings are online. Id doesn't include lobelia (main herb is Eyebright), even though he used lobelia in asthma cases.

[@swaddington9399]

feltingme I think I recall reading somewhere it could cause blindness but I cant find any info on that so I thinking it is probably misinformation, thought Joe would know for sure!

[@feltingme]

Oh, I see. If applied to the eyes? Where did you read it?

[@swaddington9399]

feltingme umm i am not sure where i read that sadly, but i do recall reading it somewhere. Not applied to the eyes but ingested in probably amounts not reccomended. I dont know if that is true so im just looking for any info. Thought maybe Joes amazing mind might know.

[@feltingme]

Yes, anything in huge amounts is dangerous. Even water - a young woman died in water drinking contest a while ago. I am reading John Lust herbal book and he writes, that rosemary can be fatal in big amounts...I think, when people say this, they have to give more details in terms of amounts. Does he mean a teaspoon, a tablespoon, a cup or a bucket, LOL.

[@Aphmaufanice5068]

I read if your not nauseous your fine! I’m not sure of the long term effects on liver…. But I say it’s better then smoking cancer sticks! I also have been using this herb everyday! About 20 drops 4 times a day in water I’ll just put a bit under my tongue then swish water around in your mouth. This stuff is better then nicotine in my opinion!

[@shawnahess557]

I've probably gone through quarts of lobelia tincture in the last 35 years. With asthma and allergies, I relied upon it for survival for years. My lung issues are greatly improved now, and in recent years I primarily use it in hay fever season, just a few drops in the morning and another few in the evening. I do carry a small amount in my purse. If I visit someone with a cat or mold issues, I will take a few drops as needed, perhaps as often as every 3-4 minutes. Amazing herb.
