Isn't that a banned substance?   I think it will show.\n\n Sales of Supplements Containing Ephedrine Alkaloids (Ephedra) Prohibited\nDietary supplements that contain ephedra have been banned in the United States since April 2004. FDA banned the products after it determined that ephedra posed an unreasonable risk to those who used it

I have never heard of this herb. Check your spelling at www.dictionary.com.\nI have some information for you though... \n\nHome Treatment \n\nIf you have influenza, you can expect the illness to go away on its own in about 7 to 10 days. In the meantime, you can take steps to feel better:\n\nGet extra rest. Bed rest can help you feel better. It will also help you avoid spreading the virus to others. \nDrink plenty of fluids to replace those lost from fever. Fluids also ease a scratchy throat and keep nasal mucus thin. Hot tea with lemon, water, fruit juice, and soup are all good choices. \nIf fever is uncomfortable, take acetaminophen or ibuprofen to lower it. You may also sponge your body with lukewarm water to reduce fever. Do not use cold water or ice. Lowering the fever will not make your symptoms go away faster, but it may make you more comfortable. \nTo relieve body aches and headache, take aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen. Do not take aspirin if you are younger than 20 unless your doctor tells you to do so. Also, aspirin and ibuprofen can upset your stomach, while acetaminophen does not. \nTry a decongestant or nasal spray if your main symptom is a stuffy nose. Look for a single-ingredient decongestant that contains phenylephrine. If nasal drainage is thick, a decongestant that contains guaifenesin may help keep it thin and draining. Do not use medicated nasal sprays or drops more often than directed and not for longer than 3 days. \nBreathe moist air from a hot shower or from a sink filled with hot water to help clear a stuffy nose. \nAvoid antihistamines. They do not treat flu symptoms and may make nasal drainage thicker. \nIf the skin around your nose and lips becomes sore from repeated rubbing with tissues, apply a bit of petroleum jelly to the area. Using disposable tissues that contain lotion also may help. \nUse cough drops or plain, hard candy to help ease coughing. \nTake a nonprescription cough medicine that contains dextromethorphan if you develop a dry, hacking cough. Some products contain a high percentage of alcohol. Use them with caution. \nElevate your head at night with an extra pillow if coughing keeps you awake. \nAvoid smoking and breathing secondhand smoke. This is good advice any time, but it is especially important when you have a respiratory infection like a cold or the flu. \nCall your doctor if:\n\nYour symptoms improve but then seem to get worse again. \nYou develop signs of a bacterial infection, such as a new or worse cough that produces yellow, green, rust-colored, or bloody mucus; persistent fever, ear pain, sore throat, sinus pain, or productive cough; or nasal drainage that changes from clear to colored after 7 to 10 days.

I don't know anything about Tsaang Gubat Tea but I know a little about experimentation.  Have you tried to repeat the experiment using a tea that you are certain has caffeine?  This will tell you if perhaps your chemicals are outdated or something.  I suppose it is possible to find a tea with an immeasurable amount of caffeine although it's unlikely unless it has been unnaturally altered to remove the caffeine.

You don't mention where it was found so that makes ID difficult; sounds like a Scolopendra. Look through these pics to see if you find a match. Some are poisonous; some are not.\n\nhttp://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=+%22scolopendra%22+centipede&btnG=Search

It should be fine, since that Chinese remedy is made up of tangerine rind and licorice root, and other food derivatives like barley.\n\nIt's really good for gastrointestinal issues.

I have it too. I've had it for 6 years and I'm always on the look out for a cure. Medically, there is nothing you can do. However if you're interested in Alternative Medicine; I've been doing Chinenes Medicine for a few months. Some spots have gone away and the progression has stopped.

Just so you know, homeopathy and Chinese medicine are two totally different systems of healing.  TCM is a huge subject that covers herbalism, massage, accupuncture and a lot more but it doesn't involve homeopathy.  Homeopathy is a fairly new-ish European system of medicine that uses extremely dilute preparations (usually botanical but not always) over short periods of time to encourage the body's immune system.

Sounds a lot like Ailanthus altissima, the "Tree of Heaven". It is from China and is considered an invasive species, and is common in urban areas of the east. If it is a male tree, it should have a disagreeable odor.
