Dr. Zhang Ziyi
Ephedra root has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, and can effectively treat upper respiratory tract infections, colds, pharyngitis, and peritonsillar inflammation. It can also improve gastrointestinal function, inhibit gastric acid secretion, and reduce symptoms of indigestion such as nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. In addition, ephedra root has anti-allergic effects, helping to suppress allergic reactions and alleviate allergy symptoms such as dermatitis, skin itching, and asthma. Ephedra root can also promote cardiovascular health by improving blood circulation and lowering blood pressure. However, it is important to consult a doctor before using ephedra root to avoid potential adverse reactions.
