Description

Botanical name:Rehmannia glutinosa
Origin: China

Rehmannia is a flowering, perennial plant that is native to China and sometimes called Chinese foxglove. What is Rehmannia root? Although this member of the jasmine family bears attractive foliage and flowers, it is widely cultivated for the Rehmannia root, which is sold on the market as raw or “cooked.” The latter, which is the traditional method of preparation in China, means that the roots were cured in a special marinade made from black beans. Dried Rehmannia root is used to produce tinctures and extracts, often in combination with other Chinese herbs. Along with tinctures and extracts, there are many Rehmannia root tea benefits that are said to help kidney function.
