'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).
