Eucommia Ulmoides is one of the oldest herbs we have known. In china Eucommia Ulmoides bark has been used as hypotensive drug, analgesic or sedative for five thousand years. We hear presently it is used in a lot of other countries and the most notable point is to have no side effects.
Eucommia Ulmoides bark is very precious, but Eucommia Ulmoides leaves are not so precious as the bark.
Yet the leaves contain almost the same ingredients as the bark, and are as effective as the bark. Eucommia Ulmoides tea, which we name “To-Chu-Yo”, is made of the leaves 100% in Japan. We can take it as natural healthy tea.
It is very popular here in Japan on account of its medicinal value and its mild taste. It has too many kinds of ingredients as follows;
Vitamins, Mineral, Kalium(Potassium), Sodium, Magnesium, Iron, Phosphorus, Zinc as well as Gutta-percha.

What is better, it doesn’t contain any kinds of agricultural chemicals and preservatives, because it is very tolerant of any harmful insects and bacteria.
