Turkey rhubarb is a purgative, and is most often used in herbal formulas for it's strong laxative effects. It is most famously an ingredient in the classic Essiac cancer formula. The use of rhubarb was recorded in the earlist Chinese herbals.

Turkey rhubarb works on the smooth muscles of the intestine, much like buckthorn and senna. Rhubarb is more appropriate than senna, however, when irregularity follows treatment with antibiotics; it is less dependent on the symbiotic bacteria of the colon.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chinese physicians today use rhubarb root teas to treat stubborn infections of the skin caused by staph infections. A powder of rhubarb root and licorice can be made into a plaster to treat boils and furuncles. ¹

Plant Description
Related Species Rheum rhabarbarum : Rhubarb, the first 'fruit' of spring, is really a vegetable. Tangy and tart pies made from my Grandmothers rhubard patch is a favorite childhood memory. You just can't buy good rhubarb pies, and this tasty plant seems to fallen out of popular favor. Perhaps it is because rhubarb takes a patient gardener, rhubarb should not be harvested in the first year, and doesnt start to produce much untill the third year. The leaves and roots contain oxalic acid, only the stalks are safe to eat.
Turkey rhubarb is closely related to the garden rhubarb our grandmothers used to bake pies. The root is part of Turkey rhubarb that is used in herbal medicine. Rhubarb roots are dug in the fall after the first killing frost. Roots from second and third year plants, properly aged, are the most effective. ¹
