In this presentation we will take a look at the herb dì huáng, Rehmannia glutinosa. This herb is commonly referred to by its prepared form, shú dì huáng, and its raw form, shēng dì huáng. We will review its growing conditions, where it is historically cultivated in Asia, explore how Chinese medicine uses it in herbal formulas, discuss how people are using it in modern ways, and learn how it is prepared and processed for consumption.
