Rehmanniae Radix is the root of Rehmannia glutinosa LIBOSCH. var. purpurea MAKINO (Takaki et al., 1985). There are three types of Rehmanniae Radix according to the methods of preparation namely, Sheng-Di-Huang, Kan-Di-Huang, Shou-Di-Huang (Takaki et al., 1985). Shou-Di-Huang is the steam-dried root of Rehmannia glutinosa, Rehmanniae Radix and it has long been used as a tonic in oriental medicine for many years (Hsu et al., 1986). It is made by taking juicy roots, washing them in millet wine, steaming on a willow frame in a porcelain vessel, drying, and resteaming and redrying nine times (WHO, l969) Yun (Yun et al., 1981) has reported that an extract of Rehmannia glutinosa inhibits angiotensin converting enzyme.
