Source of formula: Ding Guo Zhang, People Hospital, Qu Dong District, Jiang Su Province, China.

Warning: This formula can be toxic to the kidneys because of the herb mu tong. There are different varieties of mu tong in the market. Before the Qing dynasty, however, it was not toxic because mu tong was derived from either the plant of Akebia guinata or the plant Akebia lobata.  Today, ninety five percent of mu tong (guan mu tong 關木通) used in China is from the stem of Aristolochia debilis, a toxic plant usually grown in the northeastern provinces of China, formally called Manchuria. Only rarely in a few localities in China, is mu tong obtained from Akebia guinata or Akebia lobata being used. Today, all manufactured formulae that contain guan mu tong are being banned in China because of the toxicity to the kidneys.

 

If you use this formula, make sure the item mu tung is not from the stems of Aristolochia debilis (Aristolochia  manshuriensis).  Use

  1. Clematidis Armandii Franch (chuan mu tong 川木通)

  2. Clematidis Armandii Franch (huai tong 淮通)

  3. Akebia trifoliata Koiz. var. australis Rehd. (bai mu tong白木通)

Warning: According a study in California, the herb labeled as Akebia trifoliata Koiz. var. australis Rehd. (bai mu tong白木通), are all actually  Aristolochia debilis (Aristolochia  manshuriensis) which contains aristolochia acid..
