The Chinese have used Chinese ephedra (Ephedra equisetina), also known as ma haung, for centuries as a wonder herb for many different uses. One of its greatest attributes is the bronchodilator effect it has on the body, but it may also be used in herbal preparations designed for weight loss. This herb is a strong heart and nervous system stimulant and therefore is not suitable for everyone.
Epinephrine, the medication used in over-the-counter asthma and allergy medications such as Sudafed®, Contac®, and Primatene Mist®, has very similar chemical properties to ephedra. For an asthma attack, one capsule of this herb can be effective right away, but make sure you are not sensitive to ephedra before taking any more than that.
