Indications: Heat lin-syndrome causing burning urination. Urination
is also dark turbid scanty difficult and frequent. Mouth and throat

Caution: Most of the mu tong sold in China is the guan mu tong
variety which is toxic for the kidneys. Historically mu tong came
from the plant, Akebia guinata or Akebia lobata but now ninety five
percent of mu tong is guan mu tong 關木通 which is the stem of
Aristolochia debilis. Preparations containing guan mu tong are
supposed to be banned by the Chinese government .
