Remarks | The real Muxiang (木香) is the root of Saussurea lappa Clarke (= Aucklandia lappa Decne.) of family Compositae, which was called Qingmuxiang (Jap. name: 青木香, Seimokkō) in ancient times. At present, it is the root of Aristolochia debilis Sieb. et Zucc. (Jap. name: Umanosuzukusa) and A. contorta Bunge (Jap. name: Marubaumanosuzukusa) of family Aristolochiaceae. The aerial part of these two species are called Tianxianteng (天仙藤, Aristolochiae Herba) in China. It is used for promoting circulation of qi and blood, inducing diuresis and removing edema. It is applied to treat stomachache, abdominal pain, aching joints and edema in pregnancy. Qingmuxiang was listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (1995 edi.) but it was excluded from its 2000 edi. Tianxianteng was also excluded from its 2020 edi. Meantime, Qingmuxiang and Tianxianteng contain aristolochic acid, which may cause renal damage according to reports. Therefore it must be prescribed with care. | |||||
