Bamboo leaves have a long history of edible and medicinal use in China, and are recognized and approved by the state as natural plants with the same origin of medicine and food. The following is the knowledge about the growth environment and medicinal value of bamboo leaves that I brought to you. Welcome to reading.
The growth environment and medicinal value of bamboo leaves: bamboo leaves are narrow and lanceolate, 7.5 ~ 16 cm long and 1 ~ 2 cm wide, with sharp apex, blunt base and petiole about 5 mm long. One side of the edge is smooth, and the other side is rough with small serrations. Parallel veins, 6 ~ 8 pairs of secondary veins, small transverse veins are very significant; The leaves are dark green, hairless, the back is lighter, and the base is slightly hairy; Thin and brittle. Light breath, light taste. It is best to be green, complete and unbranched.
Efficacy: promoting fluid production and diuresis, clearing away heat and removing annoyance.
⑴ Promoting fluid production and diuresis: it is used for sores on the tongue and mouth, short and red urine, or unfavorable urine (such as acute urinary tract infection) caused by excessive heart fire. It is often used with Radix Rehmanniae, Akebia Akebia and Radix Glycyrrhizae (such as Daochisan). Clearing away heat and vexation, promoting fluid production and diuresis, and treating fever and polydipsia, infantile convulsion, cough and vomiting, blushing, short and red urine and aphtha.
⑵ Clearing heat and relieving annoyance: It is used for dryness and heat after fever. It is often used with gypsum and Ophiopogon japonicus.
Indications: fever, polydipsia, convulsion, cough, vomiting, red face, short urine and aphtha.
Growth habit: Most bamboos like warm and humid climate. The average annual temperature of bamboo forests in Fuzhou Forest Park is 12C ~ 22c, and the annual precipitation is 1000mm ~ 2000mm. Bamboo needs more water than air temperature and soil, and needs sufficient water and good drainage. The adaptability of scattered bamboo is stronger than that of clustered bamboo. Because scattered bamboo shoots basically in spring, bamboo has been fully lignified before winter, and it has strong adaptability to adverse climatic conditions such as drought and cold, and its requirements for soil are lower than those of clustered bamboo and miscellaneous bamboo. The underground stems of clustered bamboo and miscellaneous bamboo are shallow in the soil, and the shoot emergence period is in spring, summer and autumn. Hsinchu could not be completely lignified and could not stand the cold and drought, so the growth in the north was generally limited, and their requirements for soil were higher than those of scattered bamboo.
Distribution: Bamboo leaves have a long history of edible and medicinal use in China and even Southeast Asia. China is at the international leading level in the research and development of effective components of bamboo leaves.
Mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, and a few bamboos are distributed in temperate and cold zones. Bamboo is an evergreen shallow-rooted plant (a few bamboo species lose their leaves in dry season), which requires high hydrothermal conditions and is very sensitive. The hydrothermal distribution on the earth's surface dominates the geographical distribution of bamboo. Southeast Asia, located in the tropics and south subtropics, is affected by the convergence of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean monsoon, with abundant rainfall and stable heat. This is an ideal ecological environment for bamboo growth and the center of bamboo distribution in the world.
Medicinal value: Bamboo leaves are antipyretic and antidotes. It has been approved as a "natural plant with homology of medicine and food" by the people of China and the Ministry of Health, which has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the "first killer" of mankind. Guozhen Zhukangning takes bamboo leaves as the main raw material, and its extract is highly concentrated in flavonoids and coumarin lactones, which has good anti-free radical ability. Its anti-aging, anti-fatigue and immunomodulatory effects are equivalent to those of pine pollen; The effects of lowering blood lipid and cholesterol are similar to those of Ginkgo biloba extract. The antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects are similar to those of tea polyphenols; It has the health care function of regulating blood lipid and can effectively protect human health.
Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases can take: pine pollen+bamboo kangning+health tea.
