Bamboo is an exotic reed often used as building material in Asia. In natural medicine, the siliceous secretion is harvested on the knots of the stems which are called bamboosil or Tabashir in India and China. Being very rich in silica, bamboo gum has a beneficial action on the joints by stimulating the synthesis of collagen in the bones and connective tissues. This facilitates the reconstitution of cartilage which can be destroyed during articular illnesses. With its remineralising properties, bamboo gum can also help prevent bone loss brought on by menopause.
