Description: Eucommia is a rare tree species surviving from ancient age. So far, as many as 14 species in the entire genus Eucommia has been found all over the world. Unfortunately they have become extinct one after another on the mainland and Europe. That's to say, currently the species in China is the only relict plant survived.
As one of typical Chinese healing herbs, Eucommia bark, also called Du Zhong in its Chinese name, has long been used in TCM clinical practice. All parts, especially the root and leaf, of Eucommia herb are valuable. Thanks to its enormous health benefits available, today its ready-made products, such as Eucommia bark tea, capsules, extract, and powder, are widely used for nourishing liver and kidney, strengthening muscles and bones, lowering high blood pressure, miscarriage prevention, and so on.
Eucommia is incredibly versatile and offers a variety of useful benefits:
Regulation and Rejuvenation
Eucommia has been shown to assist in the regulation of the endocrine system, central nervous system, immune system, urinary system, and circulatory system. It can also stimulate the adrenal cortex system, as well as strengthen adrenal functioning. The specific benefits of the bark were not always well-known, but once discovered, they merely confirmed the ancient Chinese wisdom that long-term use of Eucommia bark helps with rejuvenation and weight loss.
Nourishment
Certain herbal remedies made from Eucommia nourish major organs, including the liver and kidneys. They also strengthen the bones and muscles.

Eucommia proved to have anti-amnesic activity which is a proven therapy for cognitive defects, thus providing beneficial effects for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers.

Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, one of the most common forms of arthritis that degenerates joints and causes pain and stiffness in the hands, knees, or spinal functions.
