Function
Specifically treats Bi Yuan (sinusitis), rhinitis, and sinusitis.
Traditional indications
For sinusitis with shoulder stiffness, neck stiffness, absence of sweating, and headache.
Cautions
1. If Ephedra is used at 15 g or more, it needs to be decocted for a long time, at least two hours.
2. A prescription containing Ephedra should not be taken after 8 p.m., otherwise it easily causes insomnia. If insomnia still occurs, change to taking it after breakfast and lunch.
3. Those who are thin and weak, chronically ill and frail, or thin, pale, and sweat easily should all use it cautiously.
