The Dangers of Ephedra Sinica Ephedra sinica is an evergreen shrub that is native to northern China and inner Mongolia. With the adoption of the Communist regime in China (1949), importation of Ephedra sinica to the United States was stopped, and so the U.S. turned to importation from India and Pakistan, as well as to cultivation of the plant in the U.S. (Taylor, 1965). Ephedra is currently used as herbal medicine in Western countries in a decoction for asthma, hay fever, acute onset of colds/flu, to raise blood pressure, and possibly to initiate menstruation (Chevallier, 1996). www.ephedra.demon.nl /stories/ephedramon.htm   (2828 words)

Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine: Ephedra A member of the Ephedracae family of herbs (Ephedra sinica), ephedra is native to northern China and Inner Mongolia where it thrives in desert areas as a jointed, barkless plant with branches that bear few leaves and tiny yellow-green flowers that bloom in summer. Ephedra, also known as Ma Huang, is an herb utilized by Chinese medicine for over 2,500 years due to its ability to remedy symptoms of asthma and upper respiratory infections. Ephedra became popular to Mormon settlers in the early 1800s as a stimulant consumed in the form of tea in place of the coffee and black tea from which they abstained, giving the plant one of its many names, Mormon Tea. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_g2603/is_0000/ai_2603000051   (1002 words)

Herbalism Herbal remedies such as belladonna (Atropa belladonna), ephedra (Ephedra sinica), jaborandi (Pilocarpus jaborandi), foxglove (Digitalis purpurea), and of course opium poppy (Papaver somniferum), will indeed readily convince the sceptic that herbs can have drastic effects. When considering the benefits of herbal medicine, the usage of whole plant preparations needs to be compared with preparations that provide the reassurance of the scientific production method which can be reproduced, quantified and standardised: synthetic drugs and plant extracts containing defined quantities of the effective component. This use continues in our times, when herbal medicine still is of considerable importance: the medical treatment available to 70% of the world population, in fact, depends on it, as the non-industrialised countries still rely on herbal remedies to treat their people’s ailments. www.drcezanne.com /herbalism.htm   (793 words)

Advantra Z® Structure/Function There are thus indications that the alkaloid mixture in Advantra Z® is superior to the mixture of ephedrine alkaloids in Ma-huang (Ephedra sinica) in terms of effects on ß-receptors in general. Part of the explanation for this unusual dissociation may be found in the fact that Advantra Z® alkaloids appear to release dopamine and noradrenaline from the presynaptic sites, and that while there are satisfactory mechanisms for the re-uptake of noradrenaline, the dopamine released could remain longer in the synaptic gap, prolonging the activation of ß3-receptors. While foods and medicinal herbs derived from Citrus species have been used, and continue to be used, for a variety of food purposes and for their health benefits, they have not previously been identified as herbs or plants which have value in the treatment of weight problems or for improving physical performance and fitness. www.winltdusa.com /about/infocenter/healthnews/articles/advantrafunction.htm   (2485 words)

The Dangers of Ephedra Sinica The leaves and stems of Ephedra sinica contain many potentially active compounds such as tannins, saponin, falvone, and volatile oils, but it is the protoalkaloids (ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, norpseudoephedrine) which have been isolated and used for their particular medical properties as asthma and cough medications (Chevallier, 1996). One of the compounds isolated from Ephedra, pseudoephedrine, is currently used in many pharmaceutical decongestants and antiasthmatic medicines, and various herbal preparations are currently used as stimulants and weight loss aids. Though most of the pharmaceutical industry switched to pseudoephedrine in the 1950s, ephedrine is still used in some antiathasmatics, again generally in the form of a salt (hydrochloride, sulfate or tannate). www.ephedra.demon.nl /stories/ephedramon.htm   (2828 words)

Ephedra sinica Ephedrine, a sympathomimetic drug that has a high potential for abuse and can be readily obtained without a prescription in unrestricted quantities, has rarely been associated with stroke. Abstract: The purpose of this study was to evaluate heart rate and blood pressure responses to a commercially available source of ma-haung, a natural source of the sympathomimetic substance, ephedrine, and to evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties of the product in normotensive, healthy adults. Abstract: Ever since the introduction of the alkaloid ephedrine as an anti- asthmatic, the CNS stimulatory effects of this sympathomimetic have been a problem in therapy. www.home.caregroup.org /clinical/altmed/interactions/Herbs/Ephedra_sinica.htm   (5072 words)

Biotest MD-6 Fat Loss Supplement Now, as a replacement for norephedrine, we debated between ephedrine HCl and a super extract of Ephedra sinica. Norephedrine is now on the FDA hit list, so we had to change the MD6 formula, replacing norephedrine with another potent metabolic stimulator. Based on our research and testing of the substitute stimulant, we've determined that, along with the norephedrine, we should remove the Guggul and replace it with 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan). www.leehayward.com /supplements/md6.htm   (120 words)
