COMPOUND

Tobacco Addiction Remedy

A blend of the liquid extracts of:

* Oat “milky” seed (Avena sativa) 35%
• Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) 30%
• Lobelia herb & seed (Lobelia inflata) 20%
• Nutmeg seed (Myristica fragrans) 15%

* Fresh • Dried

Actions: Recent research has shown that tincture of fresh (undried) Oat can facilitate withdrawal from tobacco and opium addiction.

The alkaloid lobeline, which is found in Lobelia, has a chemical structure and physiological effects that are similar to nicotine, and is believed to mask the withdrawal symptoms of nicotine addiction without itself being addictive.

Uses: Indicated in the treatment of tobacco (nicotine) addiction. Lessens the desire for nicotine, supports the nervous system and the adrenal glands, and has a cleansing and restorative action on the lungs and bronchi.

Dose: Three to five times per day, take 20 to 30 drops in water.

Adjunct Therapy: In case of nervous withdrawal symptoms take 20 to 40 drops of Nervous System Tonic with each dose of the above.

Cautions: Because of the Lobelia in this compound, large and frequent doses may induce nausea or vomiting in some sensitive individuals. If this happens, discontinue use for 1 or 2 days, and then resume use with a lower number of drops. Drops can be adjusted according to tolerance.
