KÍNAI REBARBARA (Rheum palmatum)
A kínai rebarbara a hagyományos kínai orvoslás egyik leggyakrabban használt gyógynövénye. A Kamedis legtöbb termékében is kiaknázzuk a hatását. A kínai gyógyászat több mint 800 olyan vegyületet tart számon, amely rebarbarát tartalmaz. Ennek persze jó oka van. A modern tudomány kimutatta, hogy a rebarbara gyulladásgátló (1, 2, 3), antibakteriális (4, 5), antiallergén (6, 7) és antioxidáns (8) hatással bír. Ismeretes, hogy a sebek kezelésére (9) és a faggyú szabályozására (10) is alkalmas.
