Rehmannia Extract... The Nature's
Best " Anti Inflammatory "
Rehmannia is the most important Chinese herb for
disorders of the kidneys and adrenal glands. Rehmannia also appears to
combat adrenal suppression caused by steroid hormones and has a similar
tonic effect on the adrenal cortex as licorice.
A feature of rehmannia is that it is in a small group of herbs that are used to autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and Multiplesclerosis.
Used to combat the symptoms and progression of these illnesses, anti-inflammatory herbs used include rehmannia, shemidesmus and bupleurum. Rehmannia also hinders the breakdown of cortisone products in the body, which lengthens this drugs effect.
In one study, patients with rheumatoid arthritis were treated with rehmannia and experienced good results, including a reduction of joint pain, swelling, and increased joint movement. Rehmannia also improved the general symptoms of asthma and urticaria. Mild oedema developed in a small percentage of patients which is a similar reaction to that induced by adrenocortical hormones.
