Ma Haung/Ephedra
Ephedra equisetina
Ma Haung is a popular Chinese herb that has been promoted as a decongestant and anti-asthmatic. It is also a cardiac and central nervous system stimulant. The circulatory stimulation diverts blood flow from the digestive tract and forces more blood the brain and limbs, thus reducing fatigue and reducing hunger. Caution is recommended for those who have high blood pressure or weak internal organs. Ma Haung is no longer available for purchase in the United States.
