Is Mormon tea a vascular plant?

Mormon Tea (including Ephedra culteri, Ephedra fasciculata, Ephedra nevadensis, Ephedra torreyana, Ephedra trifurca, and Ephedra viridis) is a vascular plant. Most plants are vascular plants - nonvascular plants are those without true leaves, such as moss and algae.Mormon Tea, as an Ephedra, was a common pioneer remedy for many ailments, such as asthma, hay fever, nasal or chest congestion, and the common cold. It is called a 'tea' because the plant was boiled in water and then drank. Scientists believe the medicinal use of Ephedra plants is believed to have begun over 60,000 years ago.

Is ephedra extract the same as ephedra?

My research has shown that ephedra extract is a derivative of the plant that has had the alkaloids removed. It is my understanding that the ephedra extract is not as strong as the alkaloids and is also legal in all 50 states. It was ephedra alkaloids that were banned in some states, although many states later reversed that decision. Ephedra Extract is a scam. You might as well go for Ephedra Free. The real ephedra has alkaloids. They are not illegal as long as it is used for nasal decongestion or as bronchodilators. People use it to lose weight or to gain extra energy too. However, they may have harmful side effects. Usually Ephedra Extract comes from plants like Ephedra Viridis or Nevadensis, those does not contain a certain Alkaloid that contains Ephedrine which is very effective for weight loss. Ephedra Sinica or Sida Cordifolia are 2 other Ephedra Plants both containing Alkaloids and therefore they are considered to be "real" Ephedra.
