Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa) is a traditional herb often used in Chinese medicine. Its use for hemorrhoids is primarily rooted in traditional practice rather than scientific validation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), rehmannia is included in formulations aimed at "cooling the blood" or "nourishing yin," and it sometimes appears in multi-herb combinations designed to address symptoms like bleeding or inflammation, which can be present with hemorrhoids. However, there is little direct evidence from modern clinical studies or pharmacological research to support its efficacy specifically for hemorrhoids. Most references to rehmannia for hemorrhoids are based on its general effects on blood health, anti-inflammatory properties, and its use in TCM formulas targeting rectal or anal bleeding. No high-quality clinical trials or systematic reviews have established a clear benefit for this indication. Thus, its use remains largely traditional and anecdotal, with minimal scientific backing for this specific condition.
