      Turkey rhubarb, also known as China rhubarb, originated in China and was used in ancient Chinese medicine. It is called Turkey rhubarb because it had to travel through Turkey to be exported.

      Indian rhubarb is native to North America. It is much more expensive than Turkey rhubarb and is an ingredient in Rene Caisse's Essiac tea, which has been used in alternative medicine for decades. It grows especially well in Washington state.
