Eucommia Bark Strips (Eucommia Ulmoides)

Eucommia Bark Strips (Eucommia ulmoides), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Du Zhong (杜仲), are firm, elastic strips of bark prized for their strengthening, tonifying, and stabilizing properties. Harvested from the inner bark of the Eucommia tree, these strips are carefully dried and prepared to preserve their natural elasticity and therapeutic value.

In TCM, Du Zhong is traditionally used to tonify the liver and kidneys, strengthen the tendons and bones, and support lower back and knee health. It is also valued for its ability to help calm the fetus during pregnancy, and promote circulation and flexibility. Its nature is warm, sweet, and slightly acrid, making it a powerful yet gentle herb suitable for long-term use in tonifying formulas.

When decocted, Eucommia Bark Strips produce a mild, slightly sweet infusion with a woodsy, grounding aroma. The bark naturally contains rubbery fibers, which give it its signature stretch when pulled, symbolizing its traditional use in promoting strength and flexibility within the body.

Each batch of Eucommia Bark Strips (Eucommia ulmoides) is carefully harvested, cut, and dried to maintain maximum potency, integrity, and traditional quality. Whether used in herbal teas, decoctions, or classical tonic formulas, Du Zhong offers a time-tested way to support structural strength, endurance, and long-term vitality.
