Rheum palmatum is an herbaceous perennial in the knotweed or Polygonaceae family. Turkey rhubarb is a cousin of the common edible rhubarb but is much larger in size. This herbaceous perennial has thick, deep roots and large, palmately lobed leaves which grow up to two feet in width. Turkey rhubarb can grow quickly, reaching mature heights of six feet tall.
Turkey rhubarb is native to western China and northern Tibet and can be cultivated worldwide. For hundreds of years, it has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its beneficial properties. This herb was traded along ancient spice trade routes into Europe where it was incorporated into traditional European herbalism.
Our turkey rhubarb extract is made with organic dried roots and organic alcohol by our expert extract team. It is astringent in taste and can be taken in water or juice or in a cup of tea such as dawn chorus tea or happy tummy tea. Turkey rhubarb tincture is often blended into formulations and can be added to blends such as tummy care extract.
