Rhubarb Root Powder is a dried, powdered root from Rheum palmatum , traditionally used in herbal practice for digestive and bowel-support preparations. It contains naturally occurring anthraquinones, tannins, bitter aromatic compounds and stilbene compounds, including rhaponticin. Rhubarb root is traditionally used in carefully measured preparations for constipation, diarrhoea, indigestion, liver and gallbladder support, and as a mouthwash for mouth ulcers. This is a strong botanical and should be used cautiously, especially because its action can vary depending on the amount used.
♡ Why we love it: Rhubarb root is a classic bitter root with a long herbal history and a useful place in experienced apothecary-style routines. The powder format is convenient for careful measuring, decoctions, tinctures and mouthwash preparations where a strong traditional root ingredient is required.
