Fresh Harvest March 29th 2010!!
Due to tightened restrictions on this herb, it has become quite difficult to pass through customs as of late. As a result- The domestic market for this material is almost completely dry. Much of the Ephedra Sinica material sold online tends to be Ephedra Vulgaris- We've even been duped a few times. For these reasons, KT Botanicals has harvested a small quantitiy of TRUE Ephedra Sinica. This species contains primarily Ephedrine and Pseudo-ephedrine, which generally make up close to 80% of the total alkaloid content of the plant. Minor alkaloids include norephedrine, norpsuedoephedrine, N-methyl ephedrine, N-methyl psuedoephedrine, an anti-inflammatory alkaloid ephedroxane, as well as O-Benzoyl-psuedoephedrine.
This material is sustainably wild harvested from mature 12' tall plants. Only young, green stem material is harvested. Once harvested, the material is rinsed and tied into bundles and hang dried in the 85 degree California shade. No heat is used in the drying process and the material is harvested to order- Resulting in material that is very green in appearance with a very pungent in aroma. Needless to say, this material boasts a much higher alkaloid content than material found elsewhere! We are happy to offer limited quantities of fresh Ephedra Sinica to our loyal customers!
