Bamboo juice is the juice of bamboo. The manufacturing method is:

Take fresh bamboo poles, cut them into 31-51 cm long, cut off the bamboo joints at both ends, then split them, put them on a rack, and barbecue the middle part of the bamboo poles with fire. At this time, juice will flow out at both ends of the bamboo, and this juice is bamboo juice.

Chinese medicine believes that bamboo juice is sweet and cold, and it can clear the fire in the heart, lungs and stomach, and has the effects of eliminating phlegm, moistening dryness and calming convulsions. Indications: phlegm-heat cough with yellow and sticky phlegm; It can also be used for phlegm-heat to blind and clear the orifices; Phlegm-heat stroke, strong tongue hemiplegia; Children with convulsion and limb convulsion are often combined with drugs for clearing heat and resolving phlegm, calming wind and calming convulsion.

The Materia Medica Yanyi says that bamboo juice can dissipate phlegm, reaching the upper and lower parts of the skeleton. For example, phlegm can descend at the top, open in the chest diaphragm, disperse in the limbs, benefit the viscera and meridians, and be feasible outside the tunica adventitia. For example, epilepsy, wind-heat convulsion, phlegm syncope and coma can wake up, which is also a holy medicine for phlegm family.
