TOBACCO 'San Juan Pueblo' --Nicotiana rustica--

Traditionally grown variety from the San Juan Pueblo, beautiful tall plant up to 8' with dramatic yellow flowers. Tobacco is a great companion plant to tomatoes and peppers, as it will attract hornworms that otherwise would decimate the vegetables. Used ceremonially by the Tewa people of New Mexico. Often called the "master plant" by many tribes, it has always been used by gastrointestinal or respiratory route - in juice, chewed or smoked - for its many uses. In particular, it is highly prized for treating migraines. Tobacco is apparently still used to combat parasites. Historically, it was used to relieve asthma, coughs, rheumatism, gout, pain and neuralgia, epilepsy and to make purgative enemas. In 1614, physician William Barkley wrote: "Used in moderation, there is no medicine comparable to tobacco." Always check with your doctor before consuming medicinal herbs.  Heirloom, OP. 90 days.
