About Revanchini
Revanchini, also traded as Revan Chini or Revand Chini, is the root of Rheum emodi (Indian/Himalayan Rhubarb), long used in both Ayurvedic and Unani trade traditions across India. Note: the historical Unani term "Revand Chini" (literally "Chinese rhubarb") originally referred to true imported Chinese rhubarb species (Rheum officinale/Rheum palmatum); the Himalayan-grown Rheum emodi sold in Indian trade today under the same name is the long-established local substitute, and is what this listing supplies.
This is a raw, single-ingredient root powder, best used within a physician-guided routine given its traditional Virechana (mild purgative) action at higher doses.
Traditional Ayurvedic Importance
Revanchini (Pitamulika) is classified in the Bhavaprakasha Nighantu's Dhatwadi Varga and in Nighantu Adarsha's Nagapushpadi Varga. It is classically described with Katu (pungent) and Tikta (bitter) rasa, Laghu (light) and Ruksha (dry) guna, Ushna (hot) virya, and Katu vipaka. Its classical karma is described as Kaphapittashamaka (balancing vitiated Kapha and Pitta dosha).
Within a physician-guided routine, Revanchini is traditionally used in small doses for supporting occasional digestive regularity and Apana Vata balance, and is often included as a component within broader Ayurvedic formulations designed by a Vaidya rather than used alone in large amounts.
