Another group of formulae:

Warning: The following formula can be toxic to the kidneys if you use the wrong mu tong 木通 .

There are different varieties of mu tong in the market. Before the Qing dynasty, however, this formula 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 formulae that contain guan mu tong are being banned in China because of the toxicity to the kidneys. In U.S. herb labeled as Akebia contained aristolochic acid when tested which shows that the herb were mislabeled. .

Manufactured formulae that contain guan mu tong are being banned in China because of the toxicity to the kidneys.
