... I knew I remembered reading about rhubarb root in my TCM studies.
You should be able to find this powdered online, either as rhubarb
root (western herbalism) or da huang (Chinese herb name, not to be
confused with the controversial ma huang). I'd recommend Mayway as a
supplier (that's a brand, you can google it) as they supply Chinese
herbs free from heavy metals and sulfur. Their herb powders are
excellent.

Interestingly enough, a decoction of da huang has been shown to be
effective in the treatment of folliculitis when applied topically.

Its use in contraindicated for nursing mothers, as there can be
transdermal absorption and it is excreted in the milk.
