Bamboo Leaves & Stems

Description

Latin Name : Bambusa Vulgaris

Origin Country: China

Traditional Chinese medicine uses bamboo for its health benefits and one way is by brewing tea from the leaves. Bamboo leaves are rich in silica flavonoids, amino acids, and phenolic.

Bamboo tea has a light, sweet yet grassy flavor and makes a perfect green tea-like beverage, but without the caffeine.

Health Benefits of Bamboo Leaves

– Bamboo is useful for strengthening the bones, teeth, nails, and hair as well as for improving the elasticity of the skin.

–  Since every cup of bamboo leaf tea provides 1gm of soluble fiber, its regular consumption helps to control blood sugar levels and remove harmful wastes from the body, aiding the process of detoxification.

–  People with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other problems of the gastrointestinal tract can also benefit from its intake, as it aids in promoting the digestive health.

–  Because of its high potassium content, its intake is useful for lowering high blood pressure as well as maintaining a stable blood pressure.

–  Being rich in catechins (a type of flavonoid), the herbal infusion is good for burning excess body fat, which helps in losing weight as well as decreasing the levels of bad cholesterols.

 

To make an infusion, place 1-2 teaspoons of dried herb in a tea infuser or teapot or mug for each cup of tea you intend to brew. Cover with boiling water. Place on the lid (or cover your cup with a saucer). Allow the mixture to steep for 10' to 15' minutes or overnight. Then strain the tea and serve. Drink 1-3 cups of tea a day. Drink without adding anything.

There is no scientifically proven information online about the potential side effects of bamboo leaves or shoots and they are generally considered safe for human consumption. Individuals with an allergy to grass pollen should be careful when consuming bamboo products due to the risk of an allergic reaction. In any case you should consult with your healthcare doctor before using any herb especially if you’re taking other medications or having health problems.
