Rhapontic Rhubarb

Rheum rhaponticum

Scientific Summary

Rhapontic rhubarb is the root of the plant *Rheum rhaponticum*, a member of the rhubarb family. It is traditionally used as a bitter stomachic and mild laxative for occasional diarrhea, and its anthraquinone and stilbene glycosides have shown anti‑angiogenic activity that may support treatment of inflammatory conditions and potentially cancers. Because its active compounds can stimulate bowel movements, use should be limited to short periods, it is not recommended for chronic constipation, and caution is advised in pregnancy and when combined with other purgatives.
