I used to use this one a lot for asthma, but after prescription asthma meds affected my heart, I avoid anything "speedier" than coffee. Contains ephedrine and pseudoephedrine (Sudafed). It also makes a pleasant incense, btw... found that out accidentally when a hot coal fell into some ma huang. I tried smoking some and it did help with asthma, and only took small amounts so there were fewer side effects; seemed to help with concentration/mental clarity, too. Mormon tea is less speedy, but really good for allergies. Mormon tea is good long term for asthma, good tonic for bladder and urethra, also prostate. Contains silica like horsetail - strengthens lungs, kidneys, etc. Helps with cell proliferation.
