        Just wondering if anyone has any comment on Mormon Tea. I have some, but not sure what it’s used for exactly.

          It’s American Ephedra, a natural decongestant and stimulant.  It plays well with pine needles and nettles.

            Brigham Tea (Ephedra spp.)

            Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

                Hi Doc Jones, does Nevada Ephedra have similar properties as Brigham tea?  my friend has an entire plant of it that has to be removed

                    its fantastic for a mild lift during the day.  also cleared my congestion and helped me take off some pounds.

                      Mormon tea really helps with asthma and allergies!  I used it and eventually didn’t need allergy medication or my emergency inhaler.  Plus, since I needed to stop drinking caffeine, it was great for that as well.  I drink 2 cups every morning with a little honey and it works wonders.  I even managed to take off a few unwanted pounds!

                      Blessings,
