• Traditionally used to help support toxicity, diarrhea and more.
Rhubarb is the common name of the root of several different species of Rheum, growing in the mountains of the Western and Northwestern provinces of China, and in the adjoining Tibetan territory. This plant is found native in India. It also grows in the Himalayas (above 8,000 to 13,000 feet), and is found in Russia and Turkey. The parts of the plant used for health benefits include both the root and the rhizome. The genus name Rheum is believed to come from the Greek "rheo," meaning "to flow" in reference to the purgative properties of Rhubarb. The common name Rhubarb is derived from the Latin "rha barbrum," referring to the Rha River (an ancient name for the Volga River) that was once inhabited by barbarians (anyone not Roman).
Rhubarb Root has a purgative action for use in supporting constipation, but also has an astringent effect It, therefore, has a truly cleansing action upon the gut, removing debris and then astringing with antiseptic properties as well. The primary chemical constituents of Rhubarb include anthraquinones, chrysophanol, emodin, physcion, sennidine, rheidine, palmmidine, tannins, catechin, gallic acid, oxalic acid, rutin, phytosterol, and calcium oxalate. It is the anthraquinones that contribute to the laxative and purgative properties of Rhubarb, yet the tannin content helps balance those properties, and even supports diarrhea.
Chinese research is investigating Rhubarb's ability to enhance immunity levels. The A-factors (anthraquinones) of this herb differ somewhat from those of Cascara Sagrada - only some of them reach the large intestines intact, while others are re-absorbed in the small intestine, and later released into the large intestine. The timing of the absorption of Rhubarb is thus displaced to some degree from other popular laxative agents, thereby promoting longer and smoother activity of the whole.
It should be noted that consumption of Rhubarb Root may color the urine yellow or red, but this is not concerning. It may act as an aperient and astringent, but only in small doses. In large amounts, Rhubarb Root can be used to help support constipation, whereas small amounts of the herb can be used to help support symptoms of diarrhea. It can also be tried as a disinfectant. This herb can also be tried topically as a poultice or compress for boils, burns, carbuncles and wounds, and as a mouthwash for cold sores. Juice from the fresh root is even used to polish brass due to its natural acidic content. The common name Rhubarb includes the species Rheum palmatum (Turkey Rhubarb), which is used interchangeably with Rheum officinale (Chinese Rhubarb). The species Rheum rhabarbarum is the common eating variety, and is not used for its health properties.
The bitter roots and rhizomes of the rhubarb plant (also called Chinese rhubarb, da huang, garden rhubarb, or turkey rhubarb) can be used to support health. The bodily systems that benefit the most from the actions of the root include the intestines, the spleen, the liver, and the pericardium. Rhubarb root is classified as a purgative, an apenent, an astringent (in smaller doses), an alterative, a disinfectant, and a vulnerary.
Anthraquinones derivatives, chrysophanol, physcion, sermidin, rheidine palmidine, tanmns, glucogallin terann, catechin, gallic acid, flavone, starch, pectin, and phytosterols have all been identified through biochemical examination of the root. Rhubarb is typically used for those with constipation, dysentery, diarrhea, dysmenorrhea, and amenorrhea.
Rhubarb is , and in smaller doses, for diarrhea and dysentery In small doses it is an aid to digestion, being tonic to the stomach and small intestines. When chewed, it stimulates salivation.
Rhubarb also promotes blood circulation in the pelvic cavity and is, therefore, useful to help support dysmenorrhea, especially when there is heavy clotting. Generally, it is good to combine laxative herbs with a smaller amount of a warming, antispasmodic stimulant such as ginger to help avoid griping pains in the abdomen.
For occasional constipation, use three to nine grams dried rhubarb root combined with two grams ginger root and one gram licorice.
For diarrhea, burn dried rhubarb root in an iron skillet until black, grind to a powder, bottle and cork. Take 10 to 20 grams in water 3 to 6 times daily.
Dosage: Standard infusion of one teaspoon per cup of water, or in formula, 3-9 grams as needed.

Rene Caisse was a Canadian nurse who made the Ojibwa Tea Formula world-famous. It has long been purported to be a supportive for many serious illnesses. It certainly is an effective immunity booster. Many companies sell versions of the original Ojibwa Formulas, including Essiac and Flor*Essence.
The TerraVita Ojibwa Original 4-Herb Formula is made of only the highest quality herbs with no added fillers, colors or sweeteners. Our blend is an exact replica of the original blend:
Burdock Root (Arctium Lappa) - 24 Parts Sheep's Sorrel (Rumex Acetosella) - 16 Parts Slippery Elm Bark (Ulmus Fulva) - 4 Parts Turkey Rhubarb (Rheum Palmatum) - 1 Part
Anecdotal claims that Essiac improves immunity are not supported by US or Canadian scientific clinical studies so Essiac has never been approved by the FDA as an immunity booster. As a breakment Essiac is unproven, unsubstantiated claims are illegal, but as a dietary food supplement it is not a medical approach.
If you are interested in the scientific research that has been done on alternative immunity boosters including Essiac, you may want to read a report published by the U.S. Office of Technology Assessment. The report is called, "Unconventional Approaches," and was published in 1990. Chapter 4 deals with herbal products including Essiac. The report collected the available published studies on Essiac tea and other alternative ways to improve immunity.
"The two main species useful for health of rhubarb are R.palmatum, introduced into Europe in 1762, and R.officinale, introduced in 1867. The cultivation of R.palmatum was given high priority in the 18th century. A map of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (originally a physic garden), dated 1777, indicates a very large area devoted to its cultivation. R.palmatum is one of the most widely used Chinese herbs. It was first mentioned in the Shen Nong Canon of Herbs, which dates back to the Han dynasty (206BC-AD23). Rhubarbs contain anthraquinone glycosides, which act as strong laxatives.
Several species can be used to support health, including R.officinale, R.australe (Himalayan rhubarb, Indian rhubarb), and the hybrid R.palmatum x R.coreanum, (Japanese rhubarb). Many other names exist, such as "Turkey rhubarb," and "Dutch rhubarb," which usually refer to the commercial source of the product, rather than the country of origin.
These rhubarbs vary slightly in chemistry but are used interchangeably."
