Rating (out of 5): 2

Mormon Tea (Ephedra spp.) has a long history of traditional use, especially among indigenous peoples and early settlers in the American West. Traditionally, it was brewed as a tea for a variety of purposes, including as a stimulant and to treat respiratory conditions. Its association with the glandular system, particularly the adrenal glands, comes from its content of alkaloids such as ephedrine, which can stimulate the central nervous system and indirectly influence adrenal gland activity by promoting the release of adrenaline.

However, scientific evidence directly supporting the use of Mormon Tea specifically for supporting the glandular system is limited. Most research on Ephedra focuses on its effects as a stimulant and bronchodilator, rather than its impact on glandular health. The traditional use likely stems from its perceived ability to energize and stimulate the body, which practitioners have associated with adrenal function. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has restricted the sale of Ephedra-containing supplements due to safety concerns, particularly related to its cardiovascular effects.

In summary, the use of Mormon Tea for glandular support is grounded in tradition rather than scientific validation. There is insufficient clinical research to confirm its efficacy or safety for this purpose, and its use should be approached with caution.
