AKSEER-E-HAZMOOM

Rehmannia is a plant. The roots of the plant are used to make medicine. Rehmannia is commonly found in herbal combinations used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Rehmannia is used for anemia, kidney disease, obesity, diabetes, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.

How does it work ?

There is not enough information to know how rehmannia might work for any medical condition. However, some chemicals in rehmannia seem to affect the immune system and nervous system. Rehmannia might also reduce pain and swelling. Some chemicals in rehmannia seem to lower blood sugar levels.

Insufficient Evidence for its Uses:

• Using Akseer-e-Hazmoom (Arq) for 2 time/day, may improve children digestive system and ease thier abdominal pain.
• Strengthens the stomach.
• Improves the digestive system.
• Increases appetite.
• Syrup is to use for the children between 1 to 7 years old.
• A condition in which the bone marrow stops making new blood cells (aplastic anemia). Early research shows that taking rehmannia along with the drug stanozolol helps to improve symptoms of aplastic anemia better than stanozolol alone.
• Long-term kidney disease (chronic kidney disease or CKD). Early research shows that taking rehmannia along with the drug irbesartan decreases the amount of protein in the urine better than irbesartan alone in people with long-standing inflammation of the kidneys (chronic glomerulonephritis)
• Obesity. Early research shows that taking steamed rehmannia root extract decreases waist size in women who are obese. However, rehmannia does not seem to decrease body weight or body fat.
• Allergies.
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
• Fever.
• Metabolic syndrome.
• Weak and brittle bones (osteoporosis).
• Other conditions.

More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of rehmannia for these uses.

Side Effects:

When taken by mouth: Rehmannia is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken for 8 weeks or less. There isn’t enough reliable information to know if rehmannia is safe when taken for longer than 8 weeks.
