Abstract

Rehmannia glutinosa, a fundamental herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, including anemia, diabetes, and osteoporosis. This study explores the integration of traditional uses of Rehmannia glutinosa with contemporary medical approaches to enhance therapeutic outcomes. Recent research has revealed that the bioactive compounds in Rehmannia glutinosa, such as catalpol and rehmanniosides, exhibit significant pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. This study analyzed traditional applications and modern scientific research findings, highlighting the potential of Rehmannia glutinosa in treating chronic diseases and promoting overall health. By bridging the gap between TCM and contemporary medicine, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the therapeutic benefits of Rehmannia glutinosa, paving the way for innovative treatment strategies that leverage the strengths of both medical paradigms.
