Bamboo Shavings (Bambusa Tuldoides)

Bamboo Shavings (Bambusa tuldoides), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Zhu Ru (竹茹), are light, cooling, and mildly sweet botanical shavings derived from the inner layers of bamboo. Carefully harvested and dried, these shavings are highly valued for their calming, heat-clearing, and moisture-regulating properties, making them an essential ingredient in herbal formulations and wellness blends.

In TCM, Bamboo Shavings are traditionally used to clear heat from the body, support the respiratory and digestive systems, and promote a sense of calm. They are often included in herbal remedies to ease occasional discomfort from excessive internal heat, soothe the stomach, and encourage relaxation. Additionally, bamboo shavings are believed to help promote fluid balance and maintain a healthy respiratory system.

When brewed, Bamboo Shavings produce a mild, refreshing infusion with a subtly sweet, grassy flavor. They are often combined with herbs such as licorice root, chrysanthemum flowers, and ginger to enhance their cooling and harmonizing effects.

Each batch of Bamboo Shavings (Bambusa tuldoides) is carefully harvested, dried, and processed to maintain maximum purity, freshness, and potency. Whether used in herbal teas, decoctions, or traditional TCM formulations, these gentle yet effective bamboo shavings offer a time-honored approach to promoting balance, cooling excess heat, and supporting overall well-being.
