CLEMATIS CHUAN MU TONG
The stem of either C. armandii or C. montana is used in TCM as Chuan Mu Tong. Used for Heat-Damp Edema, Strangury and Arthritis and to promote menstruation in Amenorrhea,
Despite the source potentially being the same (C. montana), the indications are different enough to separate them. Further, the whole above-ground plant is used in Tibetan Medicine, whereas only the stem is used in TCM. This may effect the use and effects.
DOSE:
3–6 grams in decoction
COMMENT:
As with many Tibetan herbs, the sources are complex and there are a number of variations recognised and used in different areas where Tibetan Medicine is practiced. As noted above, the stems of C. montana is sometimes used as a source of Chuan Mu Tong in TCM. This may be an equivalent medicine, but uses are slightly different.
