From Wikipedia

Aristolochic acids (English: ) are a family of carcinogenic, mutagenic, and nephrotoxic phytochemicals commonly found in the flowering plant family Aristolochiaceae (birthworts). Aristolochic acid (AA) I is the most abundant one. The family Aristolochiaceae includes the genera Aristolochia (birthwort) and Asarum (wild ginger), which are both commonly used in Chinese herbal medicine. Despite the host plants having a long history of use in traditional medicine, modern clinical research suggests aristolochic acids cause kidney and liver cancer. The FDA has issued warnings regarding consumption of AA-containing supplements.
