EDITORS COMMENTS
Di Huang, or Rehmannia glutinosa, is a perennial herb native to China that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years. This handcoloured lithograph from the renowned horticultural publication "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium in 1856, beautifully captures the intricacies of this important medicinal plant. Di Huang, also known as Sheng Di Huang or Gan Shen, is a key component in many traditional Chinese formulas, particularly those used to tonify the kidneys and nourish the yin. The plant is characterized by its long, tuberous roots, which are harvested in the autumn and dried for use in decoctions or powdered for capsules. In traditional Chinese medicine, Di Huang is believed to have a number of therapeutic properties, including the ability to tonify the kidneys, nourish yin, and promote blood circulation. It is often used to treat conditions such as fatigue, weakness, and infertility, as well as more specific conditions such as night sweats, dizziness, and tinnitus. The use of Di Huang in Chinese medicine has been well-documented throughout history, with records dating back to the Han Dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE). Its inclusion in the "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe" reflects its widespread cultivation and use in both traditional and horticultural contexts. This exquisite handcoloured lithograph not only showcases the beauty of Di Huang, but also serves as a testament to the rich history of traditional Chinese medicine and its continued relevance in modern healthcare practices.
