Herbs may sedate
or energize and, along with other plants, are a significant part of
medicinal history in various cultures. Remember that these herbs are
medicines, so follow package directions and don't overdose. Be aware of
interactions and contraindications, especially those involving heart
conditions and allergies.
Mahuang, or ephedra
sinica, has been used for more than 2,000 years in China. It contains
ephedrine, which exerts similar effects on the central nervous system as
epinephrine. It has a longer-lasting action than epinephrine, but isn't
as potent. Ephedrine increases cardiac output and relaxes bronchial
muscles, which is why it's used to treat asthma and hay fever.
