What is the bone bark?

Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive. There are many Chinese medicines included in the pharmacopoeia across the country. Some are common plants, while some are rarely seen, such as Rehmannia glutinosa. These rare medicinal materials have very powerful effects and are very effective in treating some difficult and complicated diseases. They are highly praised by doctors. Let me explain to you what Rehmannia glutinosa is.

Di Gu Pi, also known as wolfberry peel, is a plant of the Solanaceae family and the genus Lycium, and is the root bark of wolfberry. It can be used as medicine, and has the effects of cooling blood, removing steam, clearing the lungs and reducing fire. It often grows on hillsides, wastelands, hilly areas, saline-alkali areas, roadsides and village houses. It is distributed in Northeast my country, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, southern Gansu, as well as Southwest China, Central China, South China and East China provinces and regions. It is cultivated or wild in Korea, Japan and Europe.

Nature and flavor: cold in nature, sweet in taste.

Functions and indications: Cools blood and eliminates steaminess, clears the lungs and reduces fire. It is used for hot flashes due to yin deficiency, night sweats due to bone steaming, cough due to lung heat, hemoptysis, and epistaxis. Internal heat and thirst.

Oral or injection of the water extract, ethanol extract and ether residue water extract of bone bark have a significant antipyretic effect on artificially fevered rabbits. Its ether extract and the aqueous extract of the residue after ethanol extraction had no effect. Its antipyretic effect is weaker than that of aminopyrine and is approximately equal to that of other antipyretics.

From the above explanation, we can see that the root bark of Rehmannia glutinosa is a relatively effective plant in treating diseases, but it grows in places that are difficult for people to reach, so the root bark of Rehmannia glutinosa is particularly precious. As for the question of what the root bark of Rehmannia glutinosa is introduced above, I hope that those who are interested can learn about this extremely effective Chinese medicinal material.
