Lobelia (Indian Tobacco, Lobelia inflata, pukeweed)

Today, lobelia is sometimes suggested to help clear mucus from the respiratory tract, including the throat, lungs, and bronchial tubes. Although few studies have evaluated the safety and effectiveness of lobelia, some herbalists today use lobelia as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for asthma.

Common names include Lobelia, Asthma Weed, Indian Tobacco, Pukeweed, and Vomitwort.
