Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Therapeutic Actions of Ma Huang Gen:

Ma Huang Gen is astringent in nature and is indicated for persons presenting clinically with spontaneous sweating and night sweats; it does not, however, address the underlying deficiencies of qi and yin at the root of the problem.

Contraindicated for exterior conditions as its astringent nature may trap pathogenic influences in the body.

Ma Huang Gen (ephedra root) and Ma Huang (epherdra herb) have completely different and opposite functions and should not be confused with each other.
