Ephedra sinica is a flowering shrub whose dried stems and roots are commonly used in herbal preparations. It is most often employed as a bronchodilator and decongestant for asthma and nasal congestion, and has traditional use for urinary incontinence, dysmenorrhea, and as a weight‑loss aid. Because it contains the sympathomimetic alkaloids ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, it can raise blood pressure, heart rate, and may be unsafe for people with heart conditions, high blood pressure, pregnancy, or those taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
