Ma Huang

The Chinese have used this herb for over 5,000 years, particularly to treat asthma and reduce upper respiratory infections. The primary active ingredient of Ma Huang is ephedra. Both ephedrine and ephedra stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, causing vasoconstriction of the blood vessels in the lining of the nose. They also dilate the bronchial tubes and stimulates the heart. Benefits body building and endurance athletes by promoting themogenesis (the burning of fat).

Ancient Chinese physicians prescribed this herb for asthma, hay fever, nasal and chest congestion. Known for the sense of well being reported by its users. This herb tea has been used by health tonic, a natural stimulant and an appetite suppressant.
