Sheng Di Huang Slices (Rehmannia glutinosa) — Dried Food Herb for Tea & Soup

Sheng Di Huang Slices (Rehmannia glutinosa) are the dried root slices of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Shēng Dì Huáng (生地黄). Also called Chinese Foxglove Root, Sheng Di Huang has been prized for centuries as a yin-nourishing, heat-clearing, and fluid-generating herb, traditionally used to cool the blood, moisten dryness, and support the body's fluid balance. Its nature is sweet and cold, making it a gentle yet profoundly nourishing herb for soothing the Heart, Liver, and Kidney channels. This product is sourced from Henan, the classic growing region for Huai Di Huang (怀地黄), and is offered as clean, new-crop dried slices suitable for daily tea and soup preparation.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Sheng Di Huang is decocted into soups, congee, and gentle tonics to support daily nourishment and fluid balance, especially during dry or warm seasons. It is a common ingredient in traditional soup packs, where it pairs with ingredients like lily bulb, ophiopogon root, and jujube. As a tea, it is brewed alone or blended with chrysanthemum and wolfberry for a light, mildly sweet infusion. In TCM, Sheng Di Huang enters the Heart, Liver, and Kidney channels, where it is traditionally used to cool the blood, nourish yin, and generate fluids.
