Rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa) is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that has been used for centuries. It is known for its immune-modulating properties and is often used to support the immune system in autoimmune conditions.
Rehmannia contains several bioactive compounds, including iridoid glycosides (such as catalpol) and polysaccharides, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These compounds help balance the immune system, reducing autoimmune activity without overly suppressing healthy immune responses.
Rehmannia is also used to nourish the kidneys, support blood circulation, and enhance yin energy (cooling energy that balances yang, or heat). It can be found in various forms, such as capsules, tinctures, powders, and teas.
