Tobacco Addiction Remedy
A blend of the liquid extracts of:
* Oat “milky” seed (Avena sativa) 35%
• Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) 30%
• Lobelia herb & seed (Lobelia inflata) 20%
• Nutmeg seed (Myristica fragrans) 15%* Fresh • Dried
Actions: Recent research has shown that tincture of
fresh (undried) Oat can facilitate withdrawal from tobacco and opium
addiction.
The alkaloid lobeline, which is found in Lobelia, has a chemical structure
and physiological effects that are similar to nicotine, and is believed
to mask the withdrawal symptoms of nicotine addiction without itself
being addictive.
Uses: Indicated in the treatment of tobacco (nicotine)
addiction. Lessens the desire for nicotine, supports the nervous system
and the adrenal glands, and has a cleansing and restorative action on
the lungs and bronchi.
Dose: Three to five times per day, take 20 to 30 drops
in water.
Adjunct Therapy: In case of nervous withdrawal symptoms
take 20 to 40 drops of Nervous
System Tonic with each dose of the above.
Cautions: Because of the Lobelia in this compound,
large and frequent doses may induce nausea or vomiting in some sensitive
individuals. If this happens, discontinue use for 1 or 2 days, and then
resume use with a lower number of drops. Drops can be adjusted according
to tolerance.
