Bamboo Shredded (Bambusa Tuldoides)

Bamboo Shredded (Bambusa tuldoides), also known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Zhu Ru (竹茹), is a cooling, mildly sweet, and aromatic botanical derived from the inner layers of bamboo stems. Carefully harvested and shredded for ease of use, this herbal ingredient is widely used for its heat-clearing, moisture-regulating, and calming properties, making it a valuable component in herbal teas, wellness formulations, and traditional remedies.

It is believed to help soothe occasional discomfort caused by excess heat, promote fluid balance, and calm restlessness. Commonly included in herbal blends, it is often paired with herbs such as ginger, licorice root, and chrysanthemum flowers to enhance its harmonizing effects.

When brewed, Bamboo Shredded produces a light, refreshing infusion with a delicate sweetness and subtle grassy undertones. Its gentle cooling nature makes it an excellent addition to soothing teas, herbal decoctions, and traditional medicinal soups.

Each batch of Bamboo Shredded (Bambusa tuldoides) is carefully harvested, dried, and processed to maintain optimal freshness, purity, and potency. Whether used in herbal infusions, TCM formulations, or culinary preparations, this versatile bamboo ingredient offers a natural and time-honored way to support internal balance, respiratory health, and overall well-being.
