“the fruit of it shall be for eating and leaf of it for healing…” (Ezekiel 47:12)

Herbs are a wondrous thing. They not only assist in flavoring dishes and filling the air with delightful aromas, but they also hold medicinal properties that promote healing. Those of you who have herbal gardens of your own, no doubt have a few of these herbal friends already planted.

Lobelia Inflata

 

'One of the most powerful and effective medicinal ingredients is respiratory stimulant Lobelia extract.  Lobelia works in two wonderful ways for respiratory conditions as both an antispasmodic and expectorant.  It helps reduce bronchial asthma and coughing attacks (antispasmodic) and helps expel mucous in the lungs (expectorant).

This cough suppressant and relaxant is also beneficial for those with fever and cold symptoms. 

Lobelia is high in manganese, vitamin A (needed for tissue repair) and C (immunostimulant), and alkaloids (gums, resins, lipids, essential oil and lobelic acid).

Working to stimulate the brain stem Lobelia produces stronger and deeper breathing.

Due to its high piperidine alkaloid content (imitating the effects of nicotine) it is also beneficial for those trying to quit smoking.'

If You Use Herbs and Supplements, You've Been Betrayed by Lawmakers. A HIGHLY URGENT Message...

 By Dr. Mercola

'Unfortunately, your health freedom is being encroached upon at this very moment. The European Union stands poised to enact into law a directive that may have a devastating impact on Europeans’ freedom of choice in regard to supplements, and practitioners of ancient medical modalities such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, may lose their ability to prescribe traditional herbal remedies. And once the EU enacts this law, I can strongly assure you the United States will not be far behind. I usually urge my American readers to take action, but in this case, the action call at the end of this article goes out to all my European readers. Please be sure and distribute this information to your family, friends and social networks and ask them to join you in taking action as well.'
