FROM NATURE
Rhubarb
Name Rhubarb
Key Benefits Skin Soothing, Inflammation Relief, Antibacterial
Rhubarb is recorded in the Donguibogam as “General’s Herb,” described as “very effective in eliminating boils, sores, and lumps.” The name comes from its powerful ability to quickly soothe skin heat and inflammation, like a general leading troops into battle.
Rhubarb’s main components—chrysophanol, emodin, and rhein—are anthraquinones with powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Its very cold nature helps clear excess heat from the body and is effective for relieving skin rashes, boils, burns, and other skin inflammations.
