Ⅵ. What's Rhubarb Root

Rhubarb is a plant. The root and underground stem (rhizome) are used to make medicine.Rhubarb is used primarily for digestive complaints including constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, stomach pain, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, and preparation for certain GI diagnostic procedures. Some people use rhubarb so they have to strain less during bowel movements; this reduces pain from hemorrhoids or tears in the skin lining the anal canal (anal fissures).

Rhubarb is sometimes applied to the skin to treat cold sores.

In food, rhubarb stems are eaten in pie and other recipes. Rhubarb is also used as a flavoring agent.

Rhubarb is also known by the name Da Huang, and is considered one of the coldest herbs in Chinese Materia Medica. Rhubarb (Rheum rhabarbarum) is a species of plant in the family Polygonaceae. They are herbaceous perennials growing from short, thick rhizomes. They have large leaves that are somewhat triangular, with long fleshy petioles. They have small flowers grouped in large compound leafy greenish-white to rose-red inflorescences.

Rhubarb contains several chemicals which might help heal cold sores.

Rhubarb root produces a rich brown dye similar to walnut husks. It is used in northern regions where walnut trees do not survive.

Ⅶ. Benefits And Dosage of Rhubarb Root

Rhubarb is listed by the Council of Europe as a natural source of food flavouring (category N2). This category indicates that it can be added to foodstuffs in small quantities, with a possible limitation of an active principle (as yet unspecified) in the final product. Rhubarb stems are commonly eaten as a food.
Previously, rhubarb has been listed as GRAS (Generally Recognised As Safe).

Rhubarb has been used traditionally both as a laxative and an antidiarrhoeal agent.

Decoct 10～15 g.

Proper dosage is for topical administration. The fresh Da Huang is stronger in purgation than the prepared. Therefore, the unprocessed is suitable for offensive purgation. Because over-decocting will weaken its purgation action, it should be decocted later or infused with boiled water. The one stir-baked with alcohol is weak in purgation, but good at resolving stasis, which is suitable for stagnant blood syndrome or fire-heat in upper body. The carbonized is suitable for syndrome of bleeding.
