Today, Ephedra is an herb of controversy. It contains Ephedrine, a stimulant alkaloid used in many weight loss medicines, but the herb has been used safely by the Chinese for thousands of years where it was used for treating asthma and increasing energy.
The common name in China is Ma Huang.
We also offer a close relative of Ephedra sinica-- Ephedra Viridis, commonly called Mormon Tea as well as Sida Cordifolia, another plant containing ephedra alkaloids.
Our Ephedra (Ma Huang) is cultivated in China without chemicals.
