Rhubarb root, distinct from the edible stalks, is derived from the medicinal part of the rhubarb plant. The root has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years due to its potent laxative, detoxifying, and digestive benefits. Known for its earthy, bitter taste, the root is commonly dried and ground into powder for use in teas, tinctures, and supplements. Rhubarb root is often combined with other herbs to enhance its therapeutic effects.
