Eucommia bark has been revered by Taoist herbalists for more than 2500 years for its ability to replenish depleted Kidney energy, support a strong and flexible skeletal structure (especially knees and lower back), as well as support tendon and ligament health.
Eucommia bark is a primary Yang Jing herb; it is also a slightly lesser Yin Jing herb and a Liver herb.
