How to Effectively Use Ma Huang for Weight Loss

People have been using Ma Huang for many years as a traditional beverage for boosting mental as well as physical energy. This is also used for burning fat and increasing metabolism.

The property of Ma Huang stems from China was known to Chinese from prehistoric times, and they have been effectively using this for the treatment of many different kinds of diseases. Today, people mostly use it for weight loss. 
Ma Huang is available in many different forms. Many people prefer to take it in the form of pill while a few of them take it in the form of tea. Traditionally, people prefer to take it in the form of tea to obtain the best result of Ma Huang.

Plant of Ma Huang

Ma Huang plant is available in number of different versions. In China, it is available as ephedra sinica plant, which is also available in some parts of India. Ma Huang is the Chinese name of the same plant.

The most effective and important ingredient of Ma Huang is called ephedrine. It is also known as alkaloid, which is a nitrogen-based compound.

One special version of Ma Huang plant is called ephedra sinica plant that contains sufficient amount of ephedrine that can cause weight loss, as it is a well-known fat burning agent. In the market, you may get many products with similar name, which can often be very confusing to any common people. You must therefore stay away from such product and only believe in ephedra sinica plant. 

How Ma Huang tea is taken

You can get ephedra tea in many different forms. In many health food stores, you can find it in the form of powder of real ephedra sinica plant. However, it is becoming very difficult to obtain in this form in market. If you visit any Chinese traditional store, then you will get it in the form of herbal medicine like raw stem of Ma Huang. Some people find it difficult to consume them.

Powdered version can be simply taken by boiling with water and mixing some flavoring compounds like sugar. You can prepare it almost like you prepare any traditional tea and drink it.

Another option

In most part of the world including USA, Ma Huang Plant is extremely controlled and regulated and hence it will be difficult for you to get it in powdered form. Planting seed can take lots of time. Therefore, it is better to get pure ephedrine HCL. It is safer to use it in this form provided you do not mix with any other ingredients.
