Native to the eastern coast of North America, lobelia was known as Indian tobacco and asthma weed. Native Americans smoked lobelia as an herbal remedy for asthma. Lobelia contains chemicals that might thin mucus (phlegm). Lobelia may provide nutritive support for healthy respiratory and bronchial function. Ginger has been added for additional lung support and to assist in digestion and absorption.
Lobelia from Solaray is an herbal supplement that may aid the respiratory and nervous system to support normal, healthy breathing and relaxation.
Lobelia (lobelia inflata) is a plant with a plethora of uses, but it is primarily known as a respiratory support herb and a nervine. Lobelia acts on the lungs by promoting relaxation and opening of the bronchial passages and reducing the spasms related to unproductive coughs.
Lobelia may help soothe anxious moods, ease muscle tension and help rebalance the nervous system during occasional periods of stress.
If a cough or stress just won't let you sleep, 1 capsule of this lobelia supplement may be able to help you- and your lungs - relax enough to get some much-needed rest, naturally.
