Offered in both prepared form (Shú Dì Huáng, 熟地黄) and raw form (Shēng Dì Huáng, 生地), this food herb has been prized for centuries as a yin-nourishing, blood-enriching botanical used in decoctions, soups, and longevity tonics. Its nature is sweet and slightly warm in prepared form, and sweet and cold in raw form, making it a deeply nourishing herb for supporting essence and fluid balance.

Each batch is carefully sliced and naturally sun-dried to preserve its deep black-brown color in prepared form and its yellowish-brown tone in raw form. The texture is soft yet firm, with a mild, earthy-sweet aroma. When decocted, prepared Rehmannia yields a rich, dark, slightly sweet infusion with a smooth, syrupy body, while raw Rehmannia produces a lighter, subtly bitter-sweet decoction.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Di Huang is decocted into soups, congee, and longevity tonics to support daily nourishment and vitality. Prepared Rehmannia (Shu Di Huang) is a classic ingredient in blood-nourishing formulas, often paired with angelica, ligusticum, and white peony. Raw Rehmannia (Sheng Di Huang) is used in cooling, fluid-preserving decoctions, frequently combined with scrophularia and ophiopogon. As a daily tea, it is brewed alone or blended with goji berry and jujube for a gentle, nourishing infusion.
