Rehmania Uncured root 1:2

Uncured Rehmania Root is the raw root that most traditional western herbalists use as an antihaemorrhagic, anti-inflammatory and adrenal tonic. In TCM it is energetically cold, sweet, and bitter. It works in the heart, kidney, and liver channels.

Uncured Rehmania nourishes the yin and the blood and generates fluids, countering the dry expression of yin deficiency. Dry symptoms indicating yin deficiency are seen in menopause with dry hair, skin and dry vagina, as well as in autoimmune conditions like Sjogren’s syndrome with dry mouth, dry eyes, and the sicca complex.

It acts as a cooling tonic for excessive heat. Uncured rehmania, with its bitter energy, is antipyretic, clearing heat and cooling the blood. It is useful in high fevers and in cases of bleeding or haemorrhaging when too much heat in the blood drives excessive blood loss.
