【Effectiveness and Functions of Bamboo Grass】
1. Lowering blood pressure
Regular consumption of bamboo grass can lower blood pressure and protect cardiovascular health. It is also effective in treating hepatitis A and bacterial dysentery.
2. Clearing heat and detoxification
Many people easily get "heatiness" due to dietary and environmental factors, which can cause symptoms such as sore throat. Boiling bamboo grass with purslane and plantain in water and drinking it can clear heat, promote diuresis, and relieve sore throat.
3. Anticancer
Bamboo grass is alkaline in nature and has a certain preventive effect on cancer. It can also improve symptoms such as colds, fever, cough, acute pharyngitis, tonsillitis, mumps, infectious hepatitis, gastric and duodenal ulcers.
4. Stopping bleeding
Bamboo grass can disperse stasis and stop bleeding. It can be used to treat symptoms such as hematemesis, external bleeding, blood heat bleeding, and bloody stools. It can be used externally or internally.
【Cultivation Methods of Bamboo Grass】
1. Watering
Bamboo grass prefers to grow in a moist environment. We need to keep the soil moist to prevent slow growth and ensure strong growth after germination.
2. Pruning
Remove the heart of the bamboo grass. This needs to be done at a specific stage, usually during the seedling period.
3. Light
Bamboo grass requires very little light. If the light is too strong, transpiration will increase, resulting in extra water loss and a lower survival rate. Therefore, we need to block most of the sunlight during the peak sunlight hours in summer to benefit its growth.
4. Temperature
The suitable temperature for bamboo grass is between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius. If the environment cannot reach this temperature, we need to maintain it at around 10 degrees Celsius. If the temperature drops below 4 degrees Celsius, it will stop growing. If the temperature is lower, the plants will die.
