Bamboo Root can be used raw or roasted with ginger juice. Bamboo Ru is the dried middle layer of the stem of the grass family plants, big head canonical bamboo, green pole bamboo or light bamboo. It is sweet and slightly cold in nature, with the effect of clearing away heat, resolving phlegm, stopping vomiting and removing vexation. It can be used for treating phlegm-heat cough, phlegm-induced stroke, as well as heartburn and insomnia (symptoms of insomnia due to heat in the heart) and palpitations caused by bile-fire entrapped phlegm (phlegm arising from heat in the bile viscera). It is also used in the treatment of vomiting and eructation (hiccups) due to stomach heat, vomiting and inappetence during pregnancy, and restlessness of the fetus. The adverse effects of Bamboo Roots are not clear. It is forbidden to take this product for those who have stomach cold and vomiting, cold phlegm and coughing, and diarrhea (diarrhea caused by weak spleen function). If you feel unwell, we recommend you to visit the hospital in time, and take Bamboo Roots and other traditional Chinese medicines under the guidance of a professional doctor.
