Rhubarb has an illustrious history of inclusion in many laxative preparations.
It is generally considered a mild laxative that produces a soft stool 6-10 hours
after ingestion. Rhubarb is especially well suited for children since it is very
mild in action.
Rhubarb Root has a purgative action for use in the treatment of constipation,
but also has an astringent effect too. It, therefore, has a truly cleansing action
upon the gut, removing debris and then astringing with antiseptic properties
as well. The primary chemical constituents of Rhubarb include anthraquinones,
that contribute to the laxative and purgative properties of Rhubarb
Chinese research is investigating Rhubarb's ability to possibly inhibit cancer cells.
In large amounts, Rhubarb Root is used for relief from
constipation, whereas small amounts of the herb are
used for diarrhea. It is also used to treat internal
pinworms and threadworms. This herb has also been used
topically as a poultice or compress for boils, burns,
carbuncles and wounds, and as a mouthwash for cold
sores.
