I saw the herb used to make ephedrine in a traditional Chinese med shop. I was wondering if I try them out or stick to a regular low carb diet and cardio plan. If it helps at all, I am 17 and I have been training on and off during the last two years.
Ma Huang stems can be brewed as a tea. It’s fairly bitter, but you can add a bit of honey to sweeten it. But since you are in China, you already know this.
Get the plant stems from a seller that you know is clean and lead-free. It seems as if everything coming out of China lately is contaminated.
