One of the fastest growing plant in the world, bamboo has this powerful and strong image and symbolises longevity and resistance. In the Chinese phytotherapy, bamboo extracts are used due to their astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. Preparations from the leaves, shoots and bark are used to reduce fevers, to calm and against inflammation. In Ayurvedic medicine bamboo is used for the treatment of wounds and eczema as well.
