Emodin is an active natural anthraquinone derivative component of a traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine isolated from the root and rhizomes of Rheum palmatum L., Senna obtusifolia [(L.) H.S.Irwin & Barneby], Fallopia japonica [Houtt. (Ronse Decr.)], Kalimeris indica (L.) Sch.Bip. Ventilago madraspatana (Gaertn.), Rumex nepalensis (Spreng.), Fallopia multiflora [(Thunb.) Haraldson], Cassia occidentalis [(L.) Link], Senna siamea [(Lam.) Irwin et Barneby] and Acalypha australis (L.). Glycyrrhiza Uralensis is added as to buffer the cold nature of emodin. Traditionally D Huang (Rheum palmatum) was considered to injure the stomach due to its cold nature and this formula reflects our respect for those traditions.
