Ephedrine for Ma Huang?

In a recent bout of flu sequellae, in addition to other herbal efforts, I mixed

cinnamon powder and a ground-up Bronkaid tablet and found excellent lung-drying

sudorific property, just as if I had used Ma Huang itself. This leads to the

suggestion of dissolving a Bronkaid tablet in a decoction of the other

ingredients of Ephedra-based formulae, whenever Ma Huang cannot be obtained.

By sticking to normal dossages for the tablets, one can avoid over-dosing. This

is a kind of expanded use of the doctrine of signatures: that you can take the

ephedrine out of the Ma Huang but you can't take the ephedra out of the

ephedrine.

 

Perhaps this concept could apply usefully to a number of pharmaceutical

products. Rebotanize?
