Lauren,
I don't know if this will help, but my brother is into herbs and stuff. Still, I don't know how knowledgable he is about the things he tells me. He and I had a conversation about Ma Huang some time back when Fen-Fen was in the news so much. According to him, the problem with taking Ma Huang is that it pumps up the metabolism so much that you use up your body's electrolytes at a super rapid rate. He thinks that the answer is to make sure you are replacing electrolytes as rapidly as they are being burned off -- i.e., some sort of supplement. Please don't take this for the gospel, but it IS something you might follow up on with someone at a health food store.
