Processed Rehmannia | Premium Raw Herb
Processed Rehmannia (aka Shi di huang) is the dried root of the rehmannia plant (Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch) that has been soaked in millet wine, steamed until black, and dried again to be used for medicine.
This is a moistening and nourishing herb that builds blood and can help w/clinical presentations of blood deficiency– presenting as pale, sallow complexion, anemia, dizziness, palpitations, and insomnia. It is also a treasured women’s herb that can help with irregular menstruation and other gynecological concerns (rooted in blood deficiency).
This herb also builds yin (of the Kidney and Liver organ systems) and is the chief ingredient in classical TCM formulas that nourish this aspect of the body (e.g. Liu Wei di Huang Wan).
