Turkish Rhubarb
Root (Euonymus atropupureus)
Actions:
Bitter stomachic, mild purgative, astringent, laxative,
cathartic.
Common Use: Rhubarb
root is a valuable remedy that incites the activity of the
stomach, liver and bowels by increasing the flow of the
digestive juices. In small doses it makes an excellent strengthening
tonic for the stomach, in large doses it acts as a laxative.
Rhubarb root's purgative action is useful in constipation,
but also has an astringent effect following this. It therefore
has a truly cleansing action on the gut, removing debris
and then astringing with antiseptic properties as well.
This herb is also included in Rene Caisse's Essiac formula.
As a stomachic
5 to 10 drops, as a cathartic
20 to 40 drops, both 2-3 times daily.
