Pharmaceutical potential

Ephedra Monosperma contains a number of chemical compounds, including alkaloids such as ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. These connections have stimulating effects on the central nervous system and have traditionally been used in folk medicine to treat respiratory diseases, asthma and to increase energy.
