Rehmannia Facts
Rehmannia is a perennial herb with
reddish-violet flowers native to China, Japan and Korea. Its common name
is Chinese Foxglove. Rehmannia's root is used medicinally in Oriental
medicine to replenish vitality, to strengthen the liver, kidney and
heart and for treatment of a variety of ailments like diabetes,
constipation, anemia, urinary tract problems, dizziness and regulation
of menstrual flow.
How Rehmannia Works
Rehmannia contains Vitamins A, B, C,
amino acids, cerebroside, dammelittoside, melittoside, rehmaglitin and
other substances that have antiinflammatory and antifungal properties.
It helps prevent depletion of glycogen for hypoglycemia and helps
disperse heat from the body. Its astringent compounds help stop bleeding
of ulcers and reduce inflammation of the digestive system. Other
compounds work to reduce capillary fragility and help protect the
adrendal glands and liver function. Rehmannia tonifies the blood and
helps with deficiencies, working as a blood tonic.
