Ephedra Ma Huang has been used traditionally for thousands of years in China to treat respiratory disorders, colds, congestion, and more. Today, ephedra supplements are under scrutiny due in part to the irresponsible use of ephedra products by some people and also due to the inappropriate advertising of ephedra products as a recreational stimulant by some manufacturers
