Lobelia, 1oz.

Bis is also known as ragwort, vomitwort, and puke weed. As you can imagine from its name, large amounts of the herb can induce vomiting. However, that’s not what lobelia is used for most in modern herbal medicine.

Over the years, Native Americans used lobelia as a treatment for respiratory problems. In fact, it was delivered to the body by smoking it. And while we now know that smoking isn’t the healthiest way to deliver a chemical to the bloodstream, it is effective.

In modern medicine, lobelia has been used in many ways. It’s been used as a powder, tea, or poultice, and some people even still smoke it. Lobelia has many uses for the body beyond helping to induce vomiting.
