What is Sheng Di Huang?:

The Chinese Herb Sheng Di Huang is the unprocessed root tuber of the rehmannia plant (Rehmannia glutinosa).

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Therapeutic Actions of Sheng Di Huang:

Sheng Di Huang clears heat, nourishes yin, and promotes the generation of body fluids and is used when internal heat is damaging body fluids, a condition characterized by irritability, thirst, dry mouth and dry tongue with cracks, night sweats, and tidal and/or high fevers.

 

safety/clinical note: Sheng Di Huang (unprepared/fresh rehmannia) and Shu Di Huang (prepared/cooked rehmannia) have different properties and actions.
