Most Chinese medical practitioners in the states have discontinued the use of ma Huang because of its abuse as a weight loss supplement and reclassification to an illegal substance in most of the US. It is unfortunate, as it was an effective herbal medicine when utilized correctly by a professional trained in Chinese medicine for conditions like Asthma.
You may find it on the internet internationally, but I would strongly discourage the use of ma Huang as a dieting herb; when used this way, it is no more effective than the stimulants that you can buy at the corner drug store. Even worse, prolonged use of ma Huang in the doses required for weight loss will result in adrenal exhaustion. With adrenal exhaustion, your weight loss will be the least of your worries.
Rather, utilize herb tonics that build you up and restore the systems that are responsible for maintaining a healthy weight. A Spleen Qi tonic and Kidney Yang tonic will not only strengthen your body and organ systems safely, but will give you a lot of energy.

Yes, but it is dangerous. Do not use it. Update: Pure Ma Huang Pills works a lot better then diet pills that have Ma Huang in them.
