Bamboo leaves: This is a medicinal ingredient derived from the tender or young leaves of bamboo, used to clear heat, relieve irritability, generate body fluids, and promote urination; it is commonly used to treat heat pathogens that damage body fluids, irritability, thirst, mouth and tongue ulcers, and scanty, reddish urine.

Bamboo sap: This is a medicinal substance made from fresh bamboo (usually young bamboo); it can be obtained by cutting the bamboo, cutting it into sections, then roasting it and collecting the sap that flows out; or by bending the stem of young bamboo at the clump, cutting off the top, fixing it to a container, then burning the middle part of the stem to release the sap and collect it.
According to traditional medicine, bamboo sap has the effect of clearing heat, dissolving phlegm, eliminating mucus, and relieving asthma; it is often used in cases of phlegm-heat causing cough and asthma (asthma with thick phlegm), stroke-induced coma, and convulsions (epilepsy).

It is used to treat cough with thick yellow phlegm, restlessness, insomnia, vomiting, etc.
Additionally, bamboo shoots and residue from bamboo nodes (Tian Zhu Huang) can also be used as medicine.
