De Tao Rehmannia Root

Rehmannia  (Chinese foxglove) can “balance the yin” in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The herb has been used in medicine for over 2,000 years. Its thick brownish-black roots are usually harvested in autumn and used for a variety of medical purposes. It’s commonly used to treat conditions caused by yin deficiency. 

These include a whole host of complications, including: allergies, anaemia, cancer, constipation, diabetes, fever, eczema, high blood pressure, bacterial and fungal infections, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, insomnia, kidney disease, obesity and pain relief.

Rehmannia contains many bioactive compounds with strong antioxidant activity, protecting the body against oxidative damage that is indicated in many heart complaints. Research shows that it can also support healthy blood glucose levels, helping to further promote cardiovascular health.

Rehmannia is a great tonic here for blood, meaning that it is one of the top herbs that I recommend for women's health. It may help with irregular menstruation, night sweats, and insomnia and restore youthful vitality.
