Aim of the study: This review aims to provide up-to-date information on the traditional medicinal properties, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and purification technologies of bamboo leaf.
Materials and methods: Relevant information on bamboo leaf was obtained by an online search of worldwide accepted scientific databases (Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Elsevier, SpringerLink, ACS Publications, Wiley Online Library and CNKI).
Results: More than 100 chemical compounds, including flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides, volatile components, phenolic acids, polysaccharide, coenzyme Q10, phenylpropanoid and amino acids have been reported to be present. These compounds were usually extracted by column chromatography and membrane separation technologies. Preparative high performance liquid chromatography (PHPLC), high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC), simulated moving bed chromatography (SMB) and dynamic axial compression chromatography (DAC) were the advanced separation technologies have been used to isolate C-glycosides from bamboo leaf flavonoid, the main bioactive ingredient of bamboo leaf. Currently, bamboo leaf is mainly used for the treatment of atherosclerotic, diabetic, hepatic diseases and nervous system related symptoms, which are attributed to the presence of bioactive components of bamboo leaf.
Conclusions: Phytochemical and pharmacological analyses of bamboo leaf have been revealed in recent studies. However, most of the pharmacological studies on bamboo leaf have focused on bamboo leaf flavonoids. Further studies need to pay more attention to other phytochemical components of bamboo leaf. In addition, there is lack of sufficient clinical data and toxicity studies on bamboo leaf. Therefore, more clinical and toxicity researches on this plant and constituents are recommended.
BENEFITS OF BAMBOO TEA
Why is Bamboo Tea good for you?
'
In Asian folk medicine the bamboo plant is renowned for its health benefits, with parts of it being used in various traditional herbal medicines throughout India and China.
'
The tallest shrub in the world, it has been used by generations to remedy various diseases as it contains multiple healing properties.
'
Bamboo is particularly recognised for facilitating digestion, as well as its drainage function and detoxifying effects on the body.
'
Teas have long been used as a method for delivering medicinal herbs to the sick, to ease pain, or simply to improve general health.
'
Bamboo Tea is a herbal drink made from dried bamboo leaves and has been used as a medicine since ancient times, as well as a refreshing and soothing beverage.

The process for making bamboo tea is the same as for other teas. The leaves are picked, dried, then steeped in boiling water to leach their contents into the brew.
'
The bamboo leaves produce a delicious, healthy infusion of a pale green-light yellow colour, containing numerous beneficial properties.

Consumption and Health Benefits
Silica
'
'Bamboo Tea is rich in silica and other antioxidants, with one leaf containing around 70 per cent organic silica.
Silica is an abundant mineral in the body important for bone and other rigid tissue health, that declines as we age. It's a building block of collagen, a protein the body uses to rejuvenate skin and joints.'
'
Drinking bamboo tea regularly is said to replenish silica levels that will support collagen production to improve bone health, toughen hair and nails, enrich dental health, make skin more elastic and healthier, and strengthen thinning hair.
It's primarily recognised as an aid to beauty that will strengthen nails, and thicken and beautify hair.
'
Because it usually takes about two to three weeks of drinking bamboo tea before a difference in nails can be seen, and for at least a month or so in hair, it's important to stick to a daily bamboo tea habit for 30 to 60 days to see the effects.
'
The antispasmodic properties of silica in bamboo tea are also claimed to be beneficial in combating respiratory disorders, easing asthmatic attacks, bronchial spasms and nasal congestion.
'
For women, silica is said to promote regularity of menstrual periods and relieve any associated discomforts.
'
It can also help tone stomach muscles, treat gastric problems and indigestions, control intestinal spasms and control diarrhoea.
'
In addition to its high silica content, bamboo also contains magnesium, potassium, iron, copper among other minerals, and at least 17 complementary amino acids.
'
Dietary Fibre'
A typical cup of bamboo tea contains one gramme of dietary fibre to aid the body's natural cleansing systems. This can contribute to digestive health, as well as helping the body cleanse its bloodstream of harmful LDL cholesterol.
'
Cautions
'
Despite its health benefits, bamboo may have contra indications and side effects for some people. As always, it's recommended to check with a doctor before taking on any dietary supplement or regimen such as drinking bamboo tea regularly.
