Dr. Shen Yonghua
Rehmannia glutinosa (prepared) is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that nourishes kidney yin. It effectively alleviates symptoms such as palpitations, insomnia, frequent dreaming, menstrual irregularities, and dark menstrual blood. It also treats conditions arising from deficiency of essence and blood—including tinnitus, deafness, dizziness, blurred vision, and soreness or weakness in the lower back and knees. Additionally, it exerts protective effects on the kidneys and helps enhance immune function, thereby increasing the body’s resistance to disease.
