Botanical Name
Rheum Emodi
Rhubarb is a perennial Plant. It forms
large Leaves that are somewhat triangular
shaped, with long, thick and tasty petioles
(stalks). The underground portion consists
of rhizomes, which are fleshy and yellow
inside.
Rhubarb is used as a laxative, antiphlogistic,
and homeostatic in the treatment of constipation,
diarrhea, jaundice, gastro-intestinal hemorrhage,
liver disorders, conjunctivitis, traumatic
injuries, superficial suppurative sores,
ulcers and headaches. It is also applied
externally for thermal burns.
Rhubarb Root has a purgative action for
use in the treatment of constipation, It
is not only exercises a digestive action
but it operates directly as a conveyer of
bile salts. It can therefore be classed
as a hepatic stimulant. Rhubarb performs
its first digestive operation in the mouth
by stimulating the taste buds with its pleasantly
bitter flavor, which gives a sense of cleansing
out the oral cavity, preparing it to taste
the coming food.
