| Abstract
|
| Through analysing the description about efficacy of ephedra from ancient pharmacy books and some famous distinguished physicians in the past dynasties,it was found that the explanations on ephedra effect in the modern teaching materials were only the compatibility effects but not the pharmacologic effect of ephedra itself.This article considered that the main efficacy of ephedra was focused on the relieving lung and diaphoresis. |
