About this herb
Indian Turkey Rhubarb root.
Indian Rhubarb (Rheum palmatum), also known as Turkey Rhubarb, Chinese Rhubarb, and Da Huang, is a larger rhubarb variety native to China, where it has been valued in traditional herbal practices for centuries. This hardy perennial is widely cultivated across China, Tibet, and India, where it holds a significant place in Ayurvedic traditions. The root of this plant is rich in tannins, flavonoids, and anthraquinone compounds, including aloe-emodin.
