That's actually a sign you had some good lobelia. It should have also made your tongue feel numb. It is an emetic and was one of the main herbs used by the early herbalists to purge the system - used much as we would use ipicac today. Used in smaller amounts, Dr. Christopher used to refer to it as 'the thinking herb'. He would combine it with other herbs in a formula, believing that the lobelia would assess the situation and then orchestrate the other herbs to do what needed to be done. This is why you will find it in many of his herbal formulas.
