Ephedra californica

Scientific Summary

Ephedra Californica is a perennial shrub whose stems and leaves contain the sympathomimetic alkaloids ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. It is traditionally used to relieve bronchial wheeze, cough, and cold symptoms. Because it can raise heart rate and blood pressure, it should be avoided by people with hypertension, heart disease, or by pregnant or nursing women.
