Bamboo is a diverse group of the subfamily Bambusoideae of the Poaceae family, mainly composed of evergreen perennial flowering plants. Bamboo leaves are traditional Chinese medicinal materials and daily health food ingredients. They have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, diuresis and swelling, anti-oxidation, and regulating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. They are often used to relieve summer heat and thirst, oral ulcers, and assist in lowering blood pressure and blood lipids. Modern research also shows that it contains active ingredients such as flavonoids and polysaccharides, which have multiple benefits for health.

Main effects and functions:

1. Clearing heat and detoxifying

Bamboo leaves are cold in nature and can clear heat and toxins from the body, relieve symptoms such as heatstroke, sore throat, and mouth sores in summer. Boiling water or making tea for drinking can help reduce fever and reduce fire.

2. Diuresis and stranguria

Bamboo leaves contain potassium and saponins, which can promote water metabolism, improve problems such as short and red urine and edema, and also have an auxiliary effect on mild urinary tract infections.

3. Antioxidation and regulation of metabolism

The flavonoids and polysaccharides in bamboo leaves have antioxidant effects, which can reduce free radical damage and delay aging. Studies have also found that it can help regulate blood sugar and blood lipids and improve metabolic syndrome.

4. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory

Bamboo leaf extract has an inhibitory effect on common pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. External application can assist in the treatment of skin inflammation or mild burns.
