Eucommia Bark

Eucommia ulmoides – Du Zhong – 杜仲

 

Eucommia is the go to herb for bone and joint health. It benefits what Chinese medicine believes to be the root of the skeletal system, the kidneys, and powerfully yet safely nourishes them. Eucommia is a first class choice as yang tonic and has the unique quality of being beneficial to both yin and yang at the same time. Eucommia acts as a superb vitality tonic as both yin and yang are necessary for vital and robust health.

Eucommia is specifically utilized for people who have a weakness in the lower back or knees. Additionally it is given to men looking to increase potency and women wanting to increase fertility. In some studies it has demonstrated an ability to stimulate androgen receptors (which help produce testosterone). It also has compounds which have been shown to bind to estrogen receptor sites. This would support the classic belief that Eucommia bark is tonic to both yin and yang.

Another area where studies have borne out the traditional wisdom is in relation to the liver. In addition to assisting the kidneys, Eucommia was believed to be beneficial to the liver. One modern study showed extracts of Eucommia providing a liver protective effect.

In various other studies Eucmmoia has demonstrated properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antimicrobial, anticancer, antiaging, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective properties.

(Review Study)

The Eucommia bark we offer is of excellent quality. It has slices running through it which allows for easy extraction of the inner latex. It is commonly accepted in traditional herbal circles that it is this inner latex substance that provides the benefit for the joints. Our Eucommia has thick, strong latex which is easily visible when pulled apart. It has a strong earthy scent with a mildly musky flavor.

Eucommia is one of the few herbs that the classic herbalists considered safe to consume alone but was often combined with other herbs. Combine it with other yang herbs like wild cordyceps, deer antler, shilajit, and morinda to help strengthen the skeletal system, improve vitality, and increase sexual health. Combine it with herbs like Ginseng, Astragalus, He Shou Wu, Jujube, and Rehmannia, to have a tonic formula that is beneficial for the whole system.

Eucommia is an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their health and improve their life!
