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.
Many cases of kidney failure have
been reported in the China from taking this formula.Today
in China,
all manufactured formulae that contain
guan mu
tong (aristolochia
debilis)
are being banned because of the toxicity to the kidneys.
If you use this formula, make sure you are not using
guan mu
tong. Use
chuan
chuan mu
tong or
huai
tong, or
bai mu
tong tong instead.
Today
in China,
all manufactured formulae that contain guan
mu tong (aristolochia
debilis)
are being banned because of the toxicity to the kidneys.
