INCI: Rheum palmatum

Rhubarb Root Chinese is dried Rheum palmatum root, traditionally used in herbal decoctions, tinctures and mouthwash preparations. It contains anthraquinones, tannins and bitter compounds, giving it both a bitter stomachic and mild purgative profile depending on amount and preparation. Traditionally, it has been used for indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea-style astringent support and mouth ulcers as a rinse. The bulk format is best suited to experienced herbal users, practitioners and makers preparing controlled, clearly labelled preparations.

♡ Why we love it: Chinese rhubarb root is a classic bitter root with a strong traditional profile. The bulk format is practical for experienced users who need a measured herb for short-term, guided preparations.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.

Also available in a smaller retail size.
