Rheum rhabarbarum
Familiar garden plant whose root is used medicinally in TCM and Western herbalism for constipation and liver conditions.
Rheum rhabarbarum (garden rhubarb) root is a potent anthraquinone-containing laxative used traditionally in TCM and Western herbalism for constipation and liver conditions. Its primary active compounds include emodin, rhein, and aloe-emodin, which stimulate colonic peristalsis and exhibit anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective properties. The herb is classified as evidence level C, indicating limited clinical data supporting its uses.
The anthraquinone glycosides (emodin, rhein) are hydrolyzed by colonic bacteria to active aglycones that stimulate enteric neurons and increase colonic motility via activation of prostaglandin E2 and nitric oxide pathways. Rhein inhibits Na+/K+ ATPase, reducing water reabsorption and promoting laxation. Emodin exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting NF-κB and COX-2, and hepatoprotective actions by reducing oxidative stress and modulating bile acid metabolism. Tannins and gallic acid contribute to astringent and antimicrobial effects.
