Rehmannia 8
Supports Relief From
This foundational kidney yang tonic supports relief from chronic fatigue, cold extremities, low libido, frequent urination, and back or joint weakness—especially when associated with aging or chronic deficiency. It may also benefit those experiencing forgetfulness, mild dizziness, or edema tied to kidney depletion.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these symptoms often reflect kidney qi and yang deficiency. Rehmannia 8 supports yang warmth, fluid metabolism, and lower body strength while also gently nourishing kidney and liver yin to provide overall balance.
How It Works Holistically
Modern use of Rehmannia 8 often centers around its support for energy, warmth, urinary control, and structural health. Key herbs like eucommia and cinnamon gently warm and strengthen the lower body, while poria and water plantain help regulate fluid retention and reduce swelling. This makes it an effective formula for fatigue, back pain, or urination issues in the context of kidney weakness.
From a TCM perspective, this classic formula tonifies kidney qi and yang, benefits the back, and helps restore balance to the body’s core vitality—especially when cold, dampness, or depletion is involved. It may be especially helpful for those experiencing aging-related symptoms like diminished focus, libido, or physical endurance.
When Rehmannia 8 Is Right for You
Choose this formula when you're dealing with lower body weakness, cold limbs, or urination and reproductive issues tied to depleted kidney yang. It’s particularly well-suited for long-term use in cases of aging, adrenal burnout, or physical exhaustion that manifests as internal cold or structural weakness.
Long-term use is typically needed to rebuild yang energy and core vitality.
