Eucommia (also known as du zhong in Chinese) is an herb sold as a dietary supplement in capsule and tea form, offering potential kidney support and blood pressure management, though human research is limited. As part of a healthy diet alongside other supplements, it should be included to your regimen – for further advice regarding this matter please speak with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian nutritionist (RD).

Health Benefits

Eucommia can be purchased as both a supplement and tea. It can be found at natural-foods stores and shops that specialize in herbal products; online sales also exist. Eucommia contains various chemical compounds including chlorogenic acid that may provide health benefits; topical application reduced atopic dermatitis symptoms in mice by decreasing Th cell expression levels and overexpressing COX-2 and iNOS, two mediators responsible for inflammation.

Eucommia may offer health advantages, yet more research needs to be conducted on it. While preliminary evidence supports using Eucommia for kidney support and lowering high blood pressure, more evidence must be available before making definitive claims about this supplement’s efficacy. It is best to consult your healthcare provider prior to adding supplements into your diet on an ongoing basis – registered dietician nutritionists or pharmacists can also be of great assistance here.

Ingredients

Eucommia teas can be found for sale at health food stores and herbal shops, both as leaves-brewed options as well as bark or root teas with different flavor profiles available to choose from. Honey or sugar may be added for extra sweetness when using these capsules as nutritional supplements.

This invention describes a kind of glossy ganoderma milk tea drink and its ingredients: 15-20 parts of Chinese medicine extract of glossy ganoderma, 1-3 parts of tea leaves and 15-35 parts of milk. The Chinese medicine extract consists of Ganoderma lucidum mushroom; leaves from Eucommia ulmoides; sealwort Polygonatum sibiricum and Codonopsis pilosula as well as roots of Bidennate achyranthes are included within its ingredients.

Preparing this drink involves adding pre-weighed tealeaves and Chinese cassia tree to a cup of glossy ganoderma Chinese medicine extract, boiling it, filtering out filter residue, adding prior load weighted milk in filtrate, quickly getting a ganoderma milk tea beverage with sweet flavor and strong fragrance; quickly becoming an innovative drink over existing forms which create an unpleasant bitter mouthfeel from mixing glossy ganoderma and milk tea, altering its taste while decreasing sweetness of milk tea drinker experience.
