Ephedra
Ephedra is a neutralizing artificial composition that can be derived from the genus plant of Ephedra Sinica. This plant has been used in the traditional Chinese medicine for more than 5,000 years and is commonly called Ma Huang. Some of the common treated diseases of this plant are asthma, common cold and hay fever. However, the Mormon tea (a close substitute) is a lot older in the medicinal treatment than the Ma Huang since it has been used by early settlers and natives to extract tea for medicinal purposes. Nowadays, a conflict evolved between Ma Huang and Mormon tea. According to some people, to buy Ma Huang is more effective than buying Mormon tea and vice-versa.
At this time, some dietary supplement products containing ephedra are being questioned by the US FDA (Food and Drug Authorization). This is because of the high percentage of serious side effects and deaths in relation to ephedra. Because of this, US FDA had prohibited the manufacturing and selling of ephedra products since April 12, 2004. Aside from this prohibition, a US law was also passed so that anybody who buy ephedra containing products is punishable by law.
