The Od Force of the total aerial part of the
plant is used as component to prepare remedies. Lobelia
inflata is considered toxic.
In its capacity to decrease the motion of the independent lymphatic circulation
its affinity to influence working principles there in the nervous system is the
most striking. By its qualities it withdraws the forceful activities of the
heart following the abatements in the throat spasm, then hyperactivities of the
saliva producing mechanism by loosing the bondages among the receptors in the
nervous system. This process of making free the bondages of the nervous system
interferes the after bondage sufferings of sweating, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, rapid heartbeat, mental confusion, hypothermia,
coma, difficulty breathing and collapse etc.
The Od Force of it is purely an
anti-relaxant. It induces its anti-stimulating faculties to expend transiently upon
the functional activities causing uncontrolled fauces, hyper activity of the
glands and mucous membranes of the mouth and respiratory organs. Its greatly
valued quality is for its peculiar influence in withdrawing the relaxing
activities of the entire circuit of the organs and tissues including the
nervous structures at every portion of the human system.
it withdraws the peculiar and somewhat acrid (but never
excoriating) feeling about the fauces following an increased flow of saliva and
mucus in the mouth, even a dry tongue and throat to a sense of nausea, increase
of mucous secretion through the whole of the oesophagus effecting a lifting
burden due to relaxed activities over the capillaries and nerve peripheries,
general circulation, and finally throughout the muscular and glandular systems.
. In its capacity to decrease the motion of the independent
lymphatic circulation its affinity to influence working principles of
circulation of the blood, it materially equalizes its use in the tensed blood
vessel in applying its anti-relaxing activities over the blood circulatory
apparatus to withdraw the hyper energized
flow of blood to make the human system free from diaphoresis to secure
usual pulse from hyperactive fullness and softness to induce excitability of the heart establishing usual secretion of
the skin, liver, kidneys from their hyperactivity stage. It extends its
influence on phrenitis, meningitis, pneumonia, pleurisy, hepatitis,
peritonitis, and nephritis, and to inflammation of the periosteum–whether on
the long bones, alveolar processes, about the ear, or other places.
In its independent lymphatic circulation it sanctions a great
benefit on the nervous system by withdrawing the tension and excitement of the
tissues to lift the sufferings of acute rheumatism,pleurisy,
periostitis,meningitis, neuralgia etc. Upon the muscular and fibrous tissues it exerts itself to impose a
very direct and peculiar force to lift the induced nausea at stomach, enlarged
caliber of pulse caused by the excitement over the fibers of the blood-vessel.
It is by this combined action upon both the nerves and muscles of the stomach
that allays irritation of the stomach, and arrest spasmodic and even
sympathetic vomiting, stops emesis causing an anti contracting oscillation in
the stomach. The relief obtained from the use of this Od Force in meningitis,
pleurisy, peritoneal inflammation, and acute rheumatism, is probably due as
much to its anti-relaxing power over serous tissues as to its soothing
impression upon the nerves.
Its
virtues are exhibited to the highest advantage in withdrawing the induced spasmodic
and true membranous croups, whooping-cough, spasmodic asthma, (but not the
humid asthma, nor that form of difficult breathing accompanying heart disease,)
spasmodic strangury, subsultus tendinum, spasmodic occlusion of the gall-ducts,
(as in the paroxysms of suffering from the passage of gall stones,)
strangulated hernia, etc. But it is not time consuming process though lies a
complex under pressure excessive muscular contractility character there. It
helps the relaxed ostincae, contracted uterus, vaginal structure to gain their
respective normal health easily stimulating the concerned the fibers.
This withdrawal aptitude of the Od Force
concerned over the relaxed muscular structures is of great advantage not merely
in the spasmodic affections but also in spasmodic and convulsive troubles of
the severest grades. In this capacity it is powerful to stopping short the
clonic contractions in strangulated hernia, in fits of hysteria and epilepsy,
in puerperal convulsion. It may also be applied with equal correctness over the
trismus, tetanus and all forms of tonic spasm.
