        LOBELIA DR. SCHULZE'S SPECIFIC FORMULAE
LOBELIA TINCTURE

A STRONG BRONCHIAL DILATOR AND ANTI-SPASMODIC.

BOTANICAL INGREDIENTS:

Lobelia seeds, Lobelia inflata, in a base of Organic, Unfiltered, Raw Apple Cider Vinegar and Grain
Alcohol.


WHAT DR. SCHULZE SAY ABOUT LOBELIA TINCTURE:

Lobelia is one of the most powerful and most versatile herbs on the planet In America it is one of the most outlawed and controversial. This herb is currently the most politically incorrect (meaning effective) there is. As government pressure increased most herbalists stopped using this herb. And herbal manufacturers won't touch it. It is almost impossible to find it or buy it anymore.

In early American herbology Samuel Thompson was one of the most famous 18th century American herbal doctors. Over 3 million people used his programs and herbal formula successfully. Although he used many herbs, his main two were Cayenne and Lobelia. He often said that if he only could use

one herb, his choice would be Lobelia. His school of thought was carried on by many and they were considered to be Thompsonian Herbalists. Two very famous herbalists were Brigham Young, who was instrumental in helping the Mormons survive using herbal medicine. The other was Dr. John Christopher, the most respected herbalist of century of the 20th century. I was lucky enough to be his student, apprentice and friend. Both of these men were Thompsonian Herbalists.

While Cayenne stimulates the body like no other herb, Lobelia sedates and relieves spasm. These two herbs used alternately are like Hot and Cold. You must think of Lobelia as the herbal counterpart and kind of opposite to Cayenne, and whenever in doubt of what to do, use one of them, and then after a rest, use the other. I would like to be more specific, but I cannot. But after 2 decades in the clinic I can tell you that I saw as many miracles and miracle healings with this herb as I did with Cayenne which led me to make the following statement to all my students, "When in doubt, and you don't know where to turn or what to do, USE LOBELIA!" .

WHAT CUSTOMERS DAY ABOUT LOBELIA TINCTURE:

I am a bicycle racer and have always had to keep my asthma inhaler velcroed right to my handlebars so when I have an attack while I am racing, or I feel my bronchials tightening and closing down, l just grab the Inhaler and use the medication and I don't even have to stop. I threw the inhaler out, that Is a big deal for me, and now I have a bottle of your Lobelia Tonic velcroed to my bicycle handlebars Instead, Thank You.

METABOLIC ACTION AND BOTANICAL CHEMISTRY:

Alkaloids are considered to be one of the most powerful types of chemicals found in plants. Not all plants have them and those that do may contain only one or two. Lobelia contains 14 known alkaloids, the most prominent being lobeline! This may be why it has so many actions and uses and does so many different things. Many herbal doctors felt that it synergistically helped your body do whatever it needed to do. In the esteemed Merck Manual ( the American book of chemicals), it lists Lobelia as an expectorant. It is famous for being able to purge mucous, fluid and just about anything from the lungs. It also dilates the bronchial tubes which makes expectoration and breathing easier and also tells why it was often referred to as Asthma weed, because so many asthmatics used it to literally stay alive. It is sold today in drugstores and pharmacies around the world, but not in the United States. But I say it is also
an expectorant to the whole body. If a very high dose is taken, you will experience a whole body purge, where you urinate, sweat, vomit and even poop, often all at the same time. Maybe more important than anything, in the clinic I have seen it work miracles, by acting as a whole body relaxant and antispasmodic when nothing else seemed to work. Many herbalists, including Dr. Christopher and now myself, saw that it seemed to open up the body, make the body more available for herbs, juices, whatever and make everything work better. This is one herb that must be experienced and ALWAYS kept in your Herbal Emergency Kit.

DOSAGE:

For bronchial dilation and antispasmodic action 5 or more drops, is a good starting dose. More can be used but this is a powerful herb so work your way up in dosage slowly. Many of my patients used 2 dropperfuls as their average dosage.
