What is Rehmannia?

Known as Chinese Foxglove, Rehmannia is said to balance out yin deficiencies. One of the most well-known plant-specific compounds in Rehmannia is Catalpol, which is likely responsible for the plant’s sugar-lowering, inflammation-fighting, immune-balancing and  antioxidant defense effects . As a result, it is an exceptional anti-aging ingredient, as it clears the toxins that lead to dry, dull skin and nourishes and replenishes skin. It is also used to fight bacterial infections, as a tonic, and for a variety of conditions associated with inflammation, like asthma and arthritis.*

      Rehmannia in Traditional Chinese Medicine

      In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Rehmannia is renowned as a longevity herb and classified as a blood tonic and a life force (yin) tonic.  Studies suggest that Rehmannia can nourish the blood, thereby reversing anemia (a yin deficiency) and that it may protect the parts of the bone marrow that make red blood cells*
