[Scent and Flavor] Extremely cold.
[Indications] Treats women with metrorrhagia (heavy non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) where blood does not stop, as well as postpartum lochia rushing up to the heart causing chest tightness and syncope. For injuries damaging the body, restless fetus with lower bleeding, retained placenta, falls and fractures, stasis of blood, epistaxis (nosebleed), and hematemesis (vomiting blood), all are treated by crushing and drinking the juice (recorded by Zhen Quan).
[Elucidation] Wang Haogu said: Sheng Dihuang (Raw Rehmanniae Radix) enters the Hand Shaoyin (Heart) meridian and is also a remedy for the Hand Taiyang (Small Intestine) meridian. Therefore, Qian Yi (Qian Zhongyang) uses it together with Tong Cao (Tetrapanacis Medulla) to clear Heart fire and guide it out through urination (Dao Chi San). It can treat blood heat in various meridians when accompanied by other herbs. Hematuria (blood in urine) and rectal bleeding are treated similarly.
Zhen Quan said: For patients who are deficient and have much internal heat, it is suitable to add its use.
Dai Yuanli said: When Yin is weak and Yang is flourishing, Ministerial Fire (Xiang Huo) is intense and strong, invading the Yin positions, slowly simmering day by day, forming symptoms of deficiency fire, remedies such as Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix) should be used to nourish Yin and subdue Yang.
Chen Cheng said: The *Shennong Bencao Jing* only mentions dried and raw types, not cooked ones. For blood deficiency causing labor fever, postpartum deficiency heat, or elderly people with middle jiao deficiency causing dry heat, if using raw or dried forms, one must worry about them being too cold. Thus, later generations changed to using steamed and sun-dried cooked forms. The effects of raw and cooked forms are significantly different and must be carefully distinguished.
Li Shizhen said: What the *Shennong Bencao Jing* calls Gan Dihuang (Dried Rehmanniae Radix) refers to those dried in shade, sun-dried, or fire-dried, hence it says fresh ones are even better. The *Mingyi Bielu* further states that Sheng Dihuang (Raw Rehmanniae Radix) refers to newly dug fresh roots, hence its nature is extremely cold. The so-called Shu Dihuang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix) is made by later generations re-steaming and sun-drying. Various materia medica texts point to Dried Rehmannia as Prepared Rehmannia; although their indications are similar, their functions in cooling blood and tonifying blood differ slightly. Therefore, I now list Prepared Rehmannia separately below.
Prepared Rehmanniae Radix (Shu Dihuang)
[Processing] Su Song said: The method for making Prepared Rehmannia: Take 30-20 jin of plump Rehmannia, wash it clean. Separately take 30-20 jin of thin and short pieces, crush and squeeze to extract juice. Pour into a stone vessel, soak and filter until permeated. Steam over a steamer three or four times, soaking and filtering periodically. After steaming is complete, sun-dry until black like lacquer, sweet in taste like malt syrup. Must be stored in porcelain vessels because its oily softness prefers moisture.
Kou Zongshi said: Harvest raw Rehmannia, peel it, steam it in a willow-wood steamer over a porcelain pot. Spread it out to let the heat dissipate, mix with wine, steam again, take out and dry. Do not touch copper or iron vessels, as this causes kidney essence depletion and white hair, damaging Ying (Nutritive) Qi in men and Wei (Defensive) Qi in women.
Li Shizhen said: The contemporary method: Select heavy, plump pieces. Mix with good wine and crushed Amomum fruit powder. Steam thoroughly in a willow-wood steamer over a clay pot, then dry. Repeat mixing with Amomum-wine and steaming/drying. Stop after nine steams and nine dryings. This is because Rehmannia has a muddy/sticky nature; getting the fragrance of Amomum allows it to circulate, harmonizing the harmonious Qi of the five zang organs, returning to the Dantian. Currently, only those boiled in wine are sold in markets, which should not be used.
[Scent and Flavor] Sweet, slightly bitter, slightly warm, non-toxic.
Zhang Yuansu said: Sweet, slightly bitter, cold. With the power of wine and steaming, it becomes slightly warm and greatly tonifying. Strong flavor but thin aroma, Yang within Yin, sinking. Enters the Foot Shaoyin (Kidney), Hand Shaoyin (Heart), Foot Jueyin (Liver), and Hand Jueyin (Pericardium) meridians. Treats external and upper conditions related to blood heat, having the effects of cooling blood, nourishing Yin, and supplementing marrow.
[Indications] Fills bone marrow, grows muscles, generates essence and blood, tonifies insufficiency of internal injury to the five zang organs, unblocks blood vessels, benefits ears and eyes, darkens beard and hair, treats men's five labors and seven injuries, women's uterine leakage, irregular menstruation, and hundred diseases of pregnancy and childbirth (Li Shizhen). Tonifies Qi and blood, moistens Kidney water, benefits True Yin, removes urgent pain in the umbilical and abdominal regions, and soreness/aching in shins and thighs after illness (Zhang Yuansu). Restlessness wanting to rise, blurred vision.
[Elucidation] Zhang Yuansu said: Raw Rehmannia is extremely cold and cools blood; it must be used for blood heat. Cooked Rehmannia is slightly warm and tonifies the Kidney; it must be used for blood deficiency. Also, pain below the umbilicus belongs to the Kidney meridian; without Prepared Rehmannia it cannot be removed; it is a herb that unblocks the Kidney meridian.
Wang Haogu said: Raw Rehmannia treats Heart heat and heat in the palms and soles, entering the Hand and Foot Shaoyin and Jueyin meridians, benefiting Kidney water and cooling Heart blood; it is suitable for those with surging and solid pulses. If the pulse is deficient, Prepared Rehmannia is suitable. Steamed nine times with fire power, it can tonify the Original Qi in the Kidney. Zhang Zhongjing's Ba Wei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) uses it as the chief among all herbs, the source of Tianyi (Heaven One). Si Wu Tang (Four Substance Decoction) treats the organ storing blood, using it as the sovereign herb, because Gui Water (Kidney) and Yi Wood (Liver) return to one treatment.
Li Shizhen said: According to Wang Shuo's *Yi Jian Fang*: Men often have Yin deficiency and should use Prepared Rehmannia; women often have blood heat and should use Raw Rehmannia. It also says: Raw Rehmannia generates essence and blood, and Tian Dong (Asparagi Radix) guides it to where it is generated; Prepared Rehmannia tonifies essence and blood, and Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix) guides it to where it is tonified. Yu Bo's *Yi Xue Zheng Chuan* says: Raw Rehmannia generates blood, but those with weak Stomach Qi may find it hinders food intake; Prepared Rehmannia tonifies blood, but those with much phlegm-fluid may find it clogs the diaphragm. Some say frying Raw Rehmannia in wine does not hinder the stomach, and frying Prepared Rehmannia in ginger juice does not clog the diaphragm. These are all those who understand the subtleties of using Rehmannia.
Su Song said: Cui Yuanliang's *Hai Shang Fang*: Treats all kinds of heart pain, regardless of new or old. Use only Raw Rehmannia, according to the amount the patient eats, crush and squeeze to get juice, knead into dough to make noodles (Leng Tao). Having suffered this disease for two years, deeply regretting it, he warned his family before death that after his death they should剖 (dissect) to remove the root of the disease. Following his words, they indeed got a worm, placed it in a bamboo joint, feeding it everything he ate. Because he ate Rehmannia, they fed it to the worm, and it immediately rotted. From this, the formula was obtained. Liu Yuxi's *Chuan Xin Fang* also records this event: In the tenth year of Zhenyuan, the daughter of Tong Shi She Ren Cui Kang suffered from heart pain nearly dying, so she made Rehmannia Leng Tao and ate it, then vomited an object, about one cun square in size, shaped like a frog, without feet or eyes, seeming to have a mouth, and then recovered. Leng Tao should not attach...
[Attached Formulas] Twelve old formulas, fifty-three new formulas.
Can be made into pills, size of wu zi (velvet tree seeds). Each morning send down thirty pills with warm wine, three times a day. Can also make pills with Qingzhou dates. Or separately add Gan Dihuang (Dried Rehmannia) powder into paste, make pills and take. Within one hundred days face like peach blossoms, within three years body light and not aging. *Baopuzi* says: Chu Wenzi took Rehmannia for eight years, seeing light at night. (*Shenxian Fang*)
Crush and press three times, take juice completely, store in a clay vessel, cover tightly to prevent gas leakage, boil over water until half reduced, strain off dregs, boil again until like syrup, make pill-sized balls. Each time take one pill with warm wine, twice a day. (*Qianjin Fang*)
Gan Dihuang (Dried Rehmannia) one jin half, Ginger half jin (squeeze juice), Honey two sheng, Wine four sheng. Boil Gan Dihuang juice over mild and strong fire for several boils, then grind Zi Su Zi (Perilla Seed) four liang with wine, take juice and add to decoction boil ten to twenty boils, add E Jiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin); when gelatin melts, add Ginger juice and Honey, decoct again; when thick, store in clay vessel. Each time empty stomach dissolve one bi with wine and take, greatly tonifies and benefits. (Same above)
Dihuang Porridge: Greatly promotes blood flow and generates essence. Dihuang (cut) two he, cook together with rice in a jar. When cooked, add Su (butter/ghee) two he, Honey one he, stir-fry fragrant together and add inside, cook熟 (cooked) again and eat. (*Xian Shen Yin Fang*)
Dihuang Wine: See Grain Section under Wine.
Treats Ju Lao (carbuncle-labor), Zhai (tuberculosis-like disease), coughing and spitting blood etc., this is Master Shen from Tie Weng City's formula: Sheng Dihuang Zhi (Raw Rehmannia Juice) sixteen jin (extract juice), Ren Shen (Ginseng) mo (powder) one jin half, Bai Fu Ling (Poria) mo (powder) three jin, Bai Sha Mi (White Sand Honey) ten jin, filter clean and mix evenly, put in bottle, seal with Ru Ye (Bamboo Leaf), place in sand pot, boil with Sang Chai Huo (Mulberry Fire) for three days and nights. Change to wax paper and reseal heavily, soak at bottom of well for one night, take out, boil again for one fu shi (4 hours). Each time take one spoonful with white water or wine.
Danxi said: People with lust-induced deficiency, coughing and spitting blood, taking this is very fast. Our dynasty's Imperial Hospital submitted it for imperial consumption, discussed adding Tian Dong (Asparagi Radix), Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Gou Qi Zi (Goji Berry) mo (powder) each one jin, named Yi Shou Yong Zhen. *Xian Fang*:
Brighten eyes and tonify Kidney: Sheng, Shu Dihuang (Raw and Prepared Rehmannia) each two liang, Chuan Jiao Hong (Sichuan Pepper Red) one liang, make powder, honey pills wu zi size, each time empty stomach salt water down thirty pills. (*Pu Ji Fang*)
Solidify teeth and blacken beard, one treats toothache, two generates fluids, three turns white beard black, its merit is extremely wonderful. Dihuang five jin, in willow steamer, cover with earth on top, steam cooked and sun dry. Do this three times, crush into small cakes. Each time hold in mouth and swallow one cake. (*Yu Yao Yuan Fang*)
Men and women deficiency damage, or after severe illness, or after accumulated labor, limbs heavy and stagnant, bone and flesh soreness, shallow breathing, or lower abdomen tension, back and waist stiffness/pain, dry throat and lips, or no taste in food, lying much rising little, long term accumulates years, light term one hundred days, gradually becoming emaciated: Use Sheng Dihuang (Raw Rehmannia) two jin, Mian (Flour) one jin. Crush rotten, stir-fry dry make powder. Each time empty stomach wine send down fang cun bi (square inch scoop), three times a day. Taboos as per method. (*Zhou Hou Fang*)
Xu Lao Kun Fa (Deficiency Labor Exhaustion): Dihuang one shi (10 dan), take juice, Jiu (Wine) three dou, stir evenly boil and collect. Daily take. (*Bi Xiao Fang*)
Kou Gan Xin Zao (Dry Mouth Heart Restlessness): Shu Dihuang (Prepared Rehmannia) five liang, Water three zhan, decoct to one zhan half, divide into three doses, finish in one day. (*Sheng Hui Fang*)
Gu Zheng Lao Re (Bone-steaming Labor Heat): Zhang Wenzhong Formula: Use Sheng Dihuang (Raw Rehmannia) one jin, crush three times, squeeze juice completely, divide into two doses. If diarrhea occurs reduce dose, stop when body feels light and cool. (*Wai Tai Mi Yao*)
Fu Ren Fa Re (Women's Fever), wanting to become Lao Bing (Labor Disease), muscle thinning food reduction, menstrual irregularity: Di Sui Jian (Earth Marrow Decoction): Use Gan Dihuang (Dried Rehmannia) one jin, make powder, refined honey pills wu zi size, each time wine send down fifty pills.
