	Safety Issues Affecting Chinese Herbs: The Case of Dictamnus and Herbs for Skin Diseases
		Dictamnus (Dictamnus dasycarpus; baixianpi) is one of the most commonly used Chinese herbs for treatment of eczema, and was found to be an ingredient, usually a major ingredient, in the formulas taken by each of the 6 patients who had a reported hepatic reaction.
		By contrast, dictamnus is less commonly used and primarily applied in treatments for skin diseases, especially those with itching, such as eczema and other forms of atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis.
		It remains unclear whether dictamnus was a contributor to the cases of liver inflammation and damage that have been reported, but it does remain the most frequently mentioned herb of concern in this series of British commentaries over the past 10 years, and it is worth taking note of the potential for serious reactions.
