Ephedra Sinica Seeds: Grow Your Own Ephedra Plant At Home

Ephedra sinica, also known as Chinese ephedra or Ma Huang is a plant from the family of Ephedraceae that grows in parts of north-eastern China, Russia and Mongolia.

The effect of Ephedra is stimulating and energizing and helps to reduce the hunger feeling. Here in the West, Ephedra has recently become popular as being a natural stimulant and weight-loss supplement. In fact, the medicine ephedrine is derived from Ephedra, and has a multitude of uses. It is often utilised in the medical field to treat numerous conditions, including hypotension, allergic reactions, asthma, and nasal congestion, to name just a few.

Growing ephedra is not very difficult and doesn’t require any special growing skills. You can germinate the plant and grow it in moderate temperatures indoors or outdoors although ephedra likes it on the warmer side with plenty of sun. Should you happen to live in a colder climate like in the UK it can be best if you grow the plant indoors.

Making Ephedra Tea

You can simply pick the leaves of the ephedra plant and hang them to dry. Once dried, grind the leaves and use them to make ephedra tea that will provide the energizing and stimulating effect. The recommended dosage for two cups of ephedra tea is if you take 10 grams of dried leaves and have them steep for 10 minutes. Afterwards, pour the tea through a coffee filter. You can add sugar, honey or sweetener as per your own taste.
