 Rehmannia is a perennial herb with reddish-violet flowers native to China and Korea. Its common name is Chinese Foxglove. Rehmannia's root is used medicinally in Oriental medicine to replenish vitality, to strengthen the liver, kidney and heart, and for treatment of a variety of ailments like diabetes, constipation, anemia, urinary tract problems, dizziness, and regulation of menstrual flow.

 Foxglove Root:

 Root - cooked. Boiled nine times before it is eaten. This suggests that the root is somewhat toxic, or at least has a very bitter flavour. Having boiled it nine times (and presumably throwing the water away each time), there is going to be very little left in the way of vitamins and minerals[K].

 Chinese foxglove root (Rehmannia glutinosa) is used in the treatment of many illusive medical conditions. This drug (which is prepared by being cooked in wine) has been effective in treating tinnitus, lightheadedness, hearing loss, palpitations, blurred vision, constipation, and insomnia.1 The cooked preparation is recommended over the raw version for the treatment of tinnitus. Consult a Chinese medicine practitioner regarding dosages and combining Chinese foxglove root with other herbal remedies.

 The cooked Chinese foxglove root can distend the abdomen, and has been associated with loose stools. Consequently, those with digestive problems should use this medication with caution. Caution must always be used with the preparation of foxglove, which is the origin of digitalis, as it can affect the heart.
