杜仲｜一味以「堅韌」聞名的草本
Chua
在傳統草本文化中，有些藥材因為氣味而讓人印象深刻，有些則因為自身的特性而被人記住。
杜仲便是其中一味。杜仲取自樹皮，外表看似樸實，乾燥後質地堅實。將其折斷時，可以看到細細的天然膠絲，這也是杜仲十分獨特的外觀特徵。
這份「拉得出絲」的特性，讓杜仲在眾多傳統藥材之中格外容易辨認。
在傳統本草文化中，杜仲常用於補益肝腎、強筋骨等方向，也是傳統湯品與草本配方中常見的一味藥材。從一片樹皮，到一味流傳已久的傳統藥材，杜仲承載著人們從自然中尋找草本智慧的文化。
In traditional herbal culture, some herbs are remembered for their aroma, while others are recognised for their distinctive natural characteristics. Du Zhong is one of them.
Du Zhong comes from tree bark. Although its appearance is simple, the dried bark has a firm texture. When broken, it may reveal fine natural elastic fibres, one of its most distinctive characteristics.This unusual fibrous texture makes Du Zhong easily recognisable among traditional herbal materials.
In traditional herbal practice, Du Zhong is commonly associated with supporting the Liver and Kidneys and strengthening the muscles and bones. It is also a familiar ingredient in traditional soups and herbal formulations.From a piece of tree bark to a long-established herbal material, Du Zhong reflects the traditional wisdom of finding useful herbs in nature.
