What is Rehmannia Glutinosa?

Rehmannia glutinosa, known as Dì Huáng in Chinese, is a perennial plant native to East Asia. Its root is the primary part used for medicine. A key aspect of its use is that it is processed in different ways, leading to two main forms:

Fresh Rehmannia (Sheng Di Huang): Clears heat, cools the blood, and generates fluids.

Prepared/Steamed Rehmannia (Shu Di Huang): This is the most common form used in supplements. The root is steamed and dried, sometimes with wine, which changes its properties. Prepared Rehmannia is a "blood tonic" and strengthens "yin."

Rehmannia glutinosa extract used in modern supplements is typically derived from this Prepared (Shu Di Huang) root and concentrated for its active compounds.
