Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I was taking decongestants too and found that it raised my blood pressure. I'm interested to know what you do when you need decongestants now? Roni --- venizia1948 <nelsonck@...> wrote: > I do believe that decongestants increases ones > metabolism.

I think everyone is confusing Ma Huang tea (herbal ephedra) and Wu-long, which is just fermented regular tea (compare Oolong tea). Fermentation concentrates good things, such as flavanoids and antioxidants, but also not so good things, such as fluoride and caffeine.
