Out of desperation of the situation, the though came to me to use it. I knew I had some in the house somewhere. They put me on oxygen and I was very weak and it was hard to move and locate but some left in a bottle of Ma Huang (350 mg ) so I began taking it again.
It began to work immediately to my surprise. The herb was Ephedra or Ma Huang by Solaray. Solaray is a UT base company
Read warning on the bottle of Lic Root' This herb is to be use with much skill and in emergency's with asthma med in place of a steriod.
Also Licorice Root 450 mg for the coughs and is one replacement of the steroid effects (it's a source of corticosteroids). It will help with stress (great for the adrenals) and with incontinence problems too. This herb will effect potassium levels, so be careful not to be on it long term, and, interfere with some most especially in cholesterol or some asthma drugs dealing with steriods.
However, remember drug (all drug steroid's) deplete minerals of the body.)One of the greatest flue herbals. You'll find it in most natural cough etc formulas involving lungs.
History: "It is interesting to note that the ancient Greek and Roman armies gave their soldiers licorice, and they carried it on their persons as our boys have carried penicillin. It was given to allay thirst, but it may have done another thing of which the were not aware. It could have been the reason they were able to with stand terrible stress of war from childhood until maturity and still be the strongest, healthiest, continual armies the world has known. Certainly we in our day live under stress, but was is not a way of life with us usually as with the Romans? Our stress may feel certainly comparable. People may come to learn that a little licorice when under stress is superior to a sedative or a pain killer for the resultant headache that sometimes follows heavy stress." It's great for adrenal exhaustion and or the adrenials.
The other herbs I'm aware of that act that is cortisone are; Licorice root, Yucca Wild Yam, Licorice Root being the better. Licorice ACTS like a steroid, Cortisone is a steroid sugar. Licorice Rt. does not, however, bring the high insulin reaction that the sugar does. Some tea formulas use it as a sugar. (Wild Yam and Yucca have some steroid properties for those who cannot handle licorice root.) You've heard about this same hormone, cortisone, causing weight problems in many diet commershals.
There are many other such herbs on the earth. Remember all chemical are glorified, purified (shite), meaning drugs are deluded or concentrated to a white, to minute servings, and are crude chemicals which the body tolerates in lower levels. They do not leave all body's at the same rate, some are weaker in nature. These drugs will accumulate in our weakest spots in the body. Some are impossible to remove such as used cancer therapies that destroy the immune system and leach out the mineral of the body. Some herbal tea formulas use Lic. Rt. as a sweetener.Although it seems counter-intuitive, researchers at UCLA have been looking into licorice root extract to see if it may inhibit the growth of the bacteria that leads to tooth decay.
Licorice root is among those medicinal herbs that aren't true herbs (technically, herbs refer to dried leaves and/or grasses). The plant itself is actually a legume, related to beans and peas, and like other legumes, produces pods containing the seeds of the plant which can be boiled and eaten like any other bean. It is native to the Mediterranean region of Europe (it is a primary flavoring in the popular Greek liqueur known as ouzo) as well as parts of Asia. In the U.S., it is the predominant flavor of that unique American beverage, root beer.
