Oh, Dawn, I'm so sorry. You were doing good. Maybe you've got a stone stuck

in there somewhere backing up the bile. It's possibly not your GB. I have a

question. What is lobelia? I've never heard of it.

Take care,

But I spent the whole day fighting nausea

and vomiting. Happy to say today I am back to normal. I don't know

where to go from here. Dawn

Dawn,

Glad you are feeling better now. Sorry that you were sick. As for as

Lobelia, where do I get it from?

Take care,

Lobelia is an herb...here is a description from Nature's

Sunshine's web site, they don't have a detailed description

of medicinal uses for legal purposes, but maybe this

will help a bit...most herbs have more benefits than are

indicated in a given description:

Thanks, , this sounds like something that I can get from the health

food store.

Take care & happy 4th of July!

Yes, Lobelia is emetic, I usually suggest one capsule if

someone is taking it internally. I hardly ever use it internally

these days, though it is helpful for some things, and

one of the nervine, relaxing herbs.

Your nausea may have partly been due to what your body

was going through as well, if it was a stone stuck. Heaving

causes action in the diaphram that helps to push stuck stones

along.

Lobelia [Respiratory] herb possesses many properties that make it

valuable to the respiratory system. It has the ability to work as both a

stimulant (in small doses) and as a sedative (in larger doses). One of its

key constituents, lobeline, acts in a way similar to nicotine and may be

useful for those who wish to stop smoking. Lobelia is also rich in chromium.

Each capsule of NSP Lobelia herb contains 375 mg lobelia. Lobelia Essence

contains 44-47 percent alcohol, glycerin and apple cider vinegar. It can be

added to baths or used in external cosmetic preparations. Take 1 capsule

daily with a meal. Add essence to a bath, relaxing poultices or other

external applications.
