Lobelia Herb (Cut & Sifted, Wild Crafted)
Also known as Indian tobacco, lobelia has a long history of use by various Native American tribes. The herb is also referred to as puke weed and gag root, which suggests that ingesting large amounts of this herb isn't advisable.
Dried lobelia is most often tinctured or used to make strong infusions for herbal ointments, salves and liniments.
Lobelia is a small, low-growing plant in the bellflower family that produces vibrant purple-blue flowers. The aerial parts of the plant are traditionally used to combat inflammation of the skin and respiratory disorders. The herb is also a component of herbal smoking blends, as indicated by the common names Indian tobacco and asthma weed.
Internal use of lobelia is risky, however, as indicated by other common names including pukeweed, emetic herb and gagweed. Although the herb is not considered poisonous per se, it does exert potent emetic effects due to the presence of the alkaloid lobeline.
