Dr. Richard Schulze
Patient's Handbook
Lobelia Tincture
Formulae:
Lobelia seed & Herb in organic raw apple cider vinegar and pure grain
alcohol.
Therapeutic Action:
Lobelia is one of the most powerful and versatile herbs I know. In my
clinic I learned to rely on this herb more than any other. I learned
in the first few years of my practice: "When in doubt, try Lobelia."
Lobelia has two mail uses, first as an antispasmodic and second as a
bronchial dilator and expectorant. As an antispasmodic it is second
to none and will relax the entire body and organs. This is why it is
one of the mail ingredients in the Nerve Formula.
It is also the greatest herb for problems with the lungs. IT IS A
STRONG BRONCHIAL DILATOR. It will get you breathing easily again. It
also will help you to expectorate material out of the lungs. I have
seen it work with a hundred different disorders, When it doubt, try it!
In American herbal history, from Samuel Thompson, one of the great
18th century herbalists, to Dr. John Christopher, Lobelia was an
important healing plant. This is the only herb that Dr. Christopher
devoted an entire chapter to in his herbal book. Although currently
in America the F.D.A. has cautioned us on using this plant, in Europe
it is an important over the counter drug sold in many modern drug
stores. To begin with, alkaloids are one of the most powerful of all
plant chemicals. Not all plants have them. Some have a few, but
Lobelia ranks high, with 14 different alkaloids. I am explaining this
so you will understand that we know very little about this plant
except that it is a powerful healer.
Dosage:
5 to 60 drops 3 to 4 times daily. In an emergency use 2 to 5
dropperfuls or more. An overdose is not dangerous, but causes
sweating and nausea.
Children/Animal dosage.
Children vary dramatically in size and shape. One 5 year old
can be very different from another. In my clinic, I found the most
effective and safest way to dose children was by weight. After all
we want to adjust their dosages by how much their metabolism can
handle. The surest way to do so is by weight. Simply make a
fraction and put the child's weight over 150 pounds.
Take as an example a child weighing 30 pounds and an adult weighing
150 pounds. You end up with 30lb over 150lb or 1/5 of the adult dose.
If a child's weight was 50 pounds they would take 1/3 of the adult
dosage. You can use this same formula to dose animals. A small dog
or cat of 10 pounds would be 1/15 the adult dose and a horse of 1500
pounds would be 10 times the adult dose. Additional notes for
Children I have seen thousands of kids over the years in my clinic.
I have bruises on my shins from being kicked by some of the more
stubborn ones. I am also a dad myself. I have found that by mixing
most herbal tonics 1/2 and 1/2 with pure maple syrup, you can get it
down any kid. Call it candy if you need too. By diluting it 50%
just take this into consideration and give the child twice as much as
the children's dosage you already figured out. I have also noticed
how smart children are. You must convince the child that the herbal
tonic taste good and if you have a scary look on your face they will
know your are lying. Making herbal popsicles or having a tea party
is far better than strapping them down with a funnel. Love, hugs and
kisses can go a long way too.
Making Tinctures -An Example with Cayenne Tincture
NOTE: To make other Herbal Tinctures by the following Dr. Schulze
Method, just substitute the Herb(s) for Cayenne Pepper.
1 Start to make this and ANY Tincture, if possible, on a NEW Moon.
2 Take a Quart Canning Jar and fill it 1/4 FULL with DRIED Cayenne
Peppers, getting the HOTTEST ones (i.e. - Habanero, African Bird,
Serrano, Jalapeno - 90,000+ Heat Units), that you can obtain.
3 Add enough 50% Grain Alcohol (100 Proof Vodka) to the Cayenne
Peppers (powdered, using a Blender or Grinder) to just COVER them.
4 Use enough FRESH Cayenne Peppers, that you can blend with 50%
Grain Alcohol (100 Proof Vodka) to turn the Mixture into an Apple
Sauce-Like Consistency.
5 Add this Mixture to the 1st Mixture, filling up the Canning Jar
3/4 FULL.
6 Fill up the rest of the Canning Jar with MORE 50% Grain Alcohol
(100 Proof Vodka).
7 Shake it as MANY times as possible, during the Day.
8 Let this Mixture SIT, until the following FULL Moon (15-16 Days),
but OPTIMALLY until the following NEW Moon (28-29 Days)!
9 Strain this Mixture through an UNBLEACHED Coffee Filter.
10 Bottle the RESULTING Tincture.
NOTE:
Part EQUALS Volume, NOT Weight in this Tincture Method. If using
95% Alcohol (190 Proof), then DILUTE in half with Distilled Water.
Modify this procedure by using DRIED Herbs ONLY, if FRESH Herbs are
NOT AVAILABLE, and when making other Herbal Tinctures also.
Also if you want to make a SUPER-POTENT Tincture (i.e. - Cayenne
Pepper & Lobelia Seed Pod), then allow the Mixture to sit for a FULL
3 Months!
Hope this makes up for the bits of information lost in my first post.
Cheers, Roger
