SOMLATA ASTHMA CURE

EPHEDRA VULGARIS (SOM LATA)--It is a specific for asthma & it is worth giving a trial where other medicines have failed to produce desired results. I am sure that you will also endorse my views about the herb after using it. Allopathic pharmacists have prepared its extract under the name of Ephedrine which has earned a reputation as instantaneous cure for Asthma & some other diseases. Ephedrine is definitely costlier than the herb itself in crude form. Moreover the use of the herb in its original form is safer than Ephedrine. Therefore, I mention a method of using this herb in such a way that even the poorest can be benefited with its use very easily, & at the same time without the least fear of any harm. In my humble opinion the use of Ephedrine is quite unnecessary. The powder of the whole Herb too is as effective as its derivative Ephedrine & absolutely free of untoward after-effects, Ephedrine may produce high blood-pressure, pain in the chest & palpitation of the heart etc. which are totally unknown to the user of the powder of the Herb. The powder of the Herb ranging from 250 mg. to 800 mg. taken with water produces instantaneous effect in asthma at the time of paroxyms which is obviously manifested by unrestricted discharge of the accumulated phlegm & clearance of the air passage followed by restful sleep. The Ayurvedic name of this Herb is "SOM LATA" which until now was supposed to be obscure & rare. There are other ailments which can be cured by the use of this miraculous Herb I will write about them in further publications.
