Herbal is a herbal alternative to the illegal drug MDMA, also known as “ecstasy.” Herbal was sold in the form of a tablet and its ingredients include ephedra (key ingredient), guarana seed, kola nut, green tea, black ginseng, nutmeg, ginkgo biloba and Centella asiatica.

In 1996, an article in the New York Times He accused federal authorities of trying to discredit his product through media publicity. He said, "If a product is unsafe, they can pull it off the shelf and shut us down, right here and now,but they haven’t done that, because the product isn’t unsafe." Seven U.S. states subsequently filed separate lawsuits to stop the sale of the product, on the grounds that it was a drug being sold without approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
