No herb is going to make you quit smoking. You have to be ready to quit and make yourself stop. The good news is that there are herbal mixtures; that can help you with through the process when you are ready. Stop Smoking with Lobelia, a natural cure.

Lobelia with give you a heavy bodied and tasty smoke. Add a calming herb to Lobelia. Get rid of Lobelia when the physical habit has eased. Replace it with a calming smoke and astringent herbs. Just know that nothing is going to taste just like tobacco. To clear out your lungs, expectorants and Mullein will help. After you are through coughing up all the stuff in your lungs, leave out the expectorants. With a flavor so light, Mullein will make it seem like you are not even smoking. Eventually, you will start to lose interest all together. Modify these steps to suit your needs if necessary.

As the nicotine usage decreases, you will experience withdrawals. To help you through them, you can drink some herbs as a tea. To aid in the rapid removal of nicotine from your system, use Oregon Grape Root or Goldenseal. It will not lessen the withdrawal symptoms but the nicotine will be expelled from the body faster. If you experience headaches, Willow or Oak are great for getting rid of them. To help stay calm try Valerian, Parrot's Beak or Skullcap.

When the physical dependence is no longer there, the psychological dependence is left for you to handle.

Several reasons to use Lobelia to quit smoking are: Control the amount used by smoking it, it is an effective sedative and muscle relaxer, boosts the immune system and acts as an expectorant. One important note though. Do not mix this herb with other sedatives or alcohol.

When used correctly and for a short time span, you will not become addicted to Lobelia. Lobelia has lobeline in it which can also be found in nicotine chewing gum. Lobeline deceives your body by making it believe it is nicotine. This is possible because lobeline and nicotine are alike is shape. The nicotine receptors in your body act as if you have smoked a cigarette when you have not because lobeline fits easily into these receptors.

Using too much Lobelia will cause you to throw up or possibly quit breathing all together. You will feel bad long before the later happens to you. It is relatively hard to reach that point. That is how potent the herb is. For drinking as a tea, for each half gallon of a water and herb mixture, use one teaspoon of Lobelia. When smoking it, take a pinch and add it to a bag of herbs. If you do start feeling sick, you have used too much.

Lobelia is what you want to quit smoking. The calming, alternative, expectorant, nicotine imitation makes it popular. Start off with a small pinch of Lobelia when creating the mix. If you are not satisfied, add a little more. If it is too potent, you will become lightheaded, dizzy and nauseous. Cigarettes do the same thing if you quit and start back up again.
