The Wonders of Tobacco

What a joy to grow it yourself and be reminded, again and again, of the infinite wisdom of nature.

We finally managed to grow healthy tobacco leaves, and a nice amount of them. It isn't simple in a tropical climate, with huge numbers of animals, reptiles and flying creatures all around.

Tobacco leaves have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. Tobacco originates in the Americas, especially the Andes mountains of South America. Native Americans, especially the Maya and the Aztecs, cultivated and used the tobacco leaf for ceremonial and medicinal purposes.

Even its ash has antiseptic properties and is considered useful for cleaning wounds and dressings. A decoction of tobacco leaves has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling and pain. Tobacco leaves can be made into an ointment that helps relieve spasms and cramps. Tobacco leaves can help loosen and clear mucus from the lungs and airways. Tobacco leaf extract has an anti-tetanus effect.

The nicotine in tobacco leaves triggers the release of dopamine, which can help relax the nervous system.

The ash of tobacco leaves can be used to treat wounds, cuts and scrapes. It has antiseptic properties that help prevent infection, and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce swelling and pain.

Tobacco leaves can be used to relieve pain, especially headaches, toothaches and joint pain. Simply boil tobacco leaves in water to make a tea used to treat pain.

Tobacco leaves can be used to treat breathing problems such as bronchitis, asthma and coughs; they help loosen and clear mucus from the lungs and airways. Put dried tobacco leaves in hot water to make a tea that can be used to treat breathing problems, as well as skin conditions such as eczema, acne and dermatitis, and insect bites too.

In our era, the era of nanobots and snake-venom proteins in injections posing as vaccines, it is truly a real lifesaver, because it separates these toxins from the alpha-7 receptors in the nervous system, mainly because of their natural affinity for nicotine.
