    What is a good replacement for Ma Huang

    Hello,
    I am trying to source the herbs for Tom Bisio's tendon lotion formula. Does anyone know what a good substitute herb is for Ma Huang?

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Why not just buy Mahuang? I heard it is unbanned now.
    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    I know someone who sells it from her store. I'll get here email address and pm it to you. She doesn't usually ship the stuff though.
    Bless you

    Not aware of any commonly accepted subs out there for ma huang, but you could try Gui Zhi. Aside from being a fairly commonly used herb in this type of recipe, both are Wind-Cold releasing herbs and both induce perspiration and disperse cold. There are several 2nd order differences between the 2 though...
