About Nature’s Sunshine Lobelia

Lobelia inflata, commonly known as Indian tobacco, is a flowering plant native to eastern North America that has been valued in traditional herbal practices for centuries. This distinctive herb, with its tall green stems and small violet flowers, holds a special place in North American botanical history. Nature’s Sunshine Lobelia provides you with 375mg of carefully harvested aerial parts in each convenient capsule.

The plant gets its common name “Indian tobacco” from its historical use by Native American tribes, particularly the Cherokee, Iroquois, and Penobscot peoples. These indigenous communities recognized lobelia’s unique properties and incorporated it into their traditional wellness practices for respiratory and muscular concerns. The plant was so valued that it earned multiple traditional names, reflecting its widespread recognition among various tribes across the continent.

Traditional Uses and Heritage

Lobelia has a rich heritage in traditional herbal medicine spanning over 400 years of documented use. Early American settlers learned about this remarkable plant from Native Americans and began incorporating it into their own wellness practices. By the 18th and 19th centuries, lobelia had become a cornerstone herb among Eclectic physicians, who were early North American doctors that primarily used botanical medicines.

The herb contains several naturally occurring alkaloids, with lobeline being the most prominent. This compound gives lobelia its distinctive properties and has been the subject of various studies examining the plant’s traditional applications. Historically, herbalists valued lobelia for its ability to support the respiratory system and provide comfort during times of respiratory distress.

Nature’s Sunshine carefully sources lobelia aerial parts to ensure you receive a consistent, high-quality product.

Modern Understanding

While lobelia has been used traditionally for respiratory support, modern understanding of this herb continues to evolve. The plant’s primary alkaloid, lobeline, has been studied for its various properties, though more research is needed to fully understand all of its potential applications. What remains consistent is lobelia’s position as a respected herb in traditional botanical practices.

It’s important to note that lobelia should be used responsibly and according to recommended dosages. The herb has potent properties, and proper usage is essential for safe supplementation. Always consult with a healthcare professional before beginning any new supplement regimen, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.
