Family: Solanaceae
(Nightshade Family, Potato
Family)
Medicinal use of Tobacco: Tobacco has a long history of use by
medical herbalists as a relaxant, though since it is a highly additive
drug it is seldom employed internally or externally at present.
The
leaves are antispasmodic, discutient, diuretic, emetic, expectorant,
irritant, narcotic, sedative and sialagogue.
They are used externally in
the treatment of rheumatic swelling, skin diseases and scorpion stings.
The plant should be used with great caution, when taken internally it
is an addictive narcotic. The active ingredients
can also be absorbed through the skin. Wet tobacco leaves can be
applied to stings in order to relieve the pain. They are also a certain
cure for painful piles. A homeopathic remedy is made from the dried leaves. It is used in the treatment of nausea and travel sickness.
