Asthma, Lobelia Tea for
“There is no medicine that is half so effective as lobelia in removing the tough, hard ropy phlegm from the asthmatic persons.” This remedy is very good, but care should be taken not to give it to consumptives, because it is too weakening. To obtain the best results, enough of the remedy should be given to produce relaxation of the bronchial tubes. Dose.— For adults should be from fifteen to sixty drops according to the strength of the patient. This will cause a little sickness of the stomach and vomiting, thus relaxing the muscles and relieving the asthma.
