Rhubarb root has been in use from 2700 B.C. in China and Tibet. The Hopi Indians used it to treat colds. It will stimulate, cleanse and tone the vital alimentary canal and intestinal tract. It is a valuable stomach tonic, increasing saliva and the flow of gastric juice, improving the appetite, promoting the action of the liver and flow of bile without catharsis, facilitating systemal vascularity and absorption. As a cathartic agent, it increases the circulation of the glands appended to the intestinal canal and increases peristalsis by stimulating the muscular layer of the bowel. It is highly esteemed (because of the milk-like quality of its action) as a laxative tonic for children and infants; it acts chiefly on the duodenum, generally does not clog or produce an after-constipation as so many of the active cathartics do. The tonic and astringent action following catharsis make rhubarb a valuable healing remedy for diarrhea due to irritating substance, the astringent or contracting properties check the diarrhea, and it tones the tissue and corrects the accompanying atonic ingestion. Its gentle action makes it desirable for persons bothered by hemorrhoids. The urine of a person taking rhubarb will often become quite red, which is the alkaline urine acting upon the yellow matter of the root.
