Bamboo Extract: The Richest Known Source of Natural Silica
BAMBOO
The name bamboo was introduced in 1778 by Linné and was derived from the Indian word "Mambu" or "Bambu". Possibly the name Bamboo is an onomatopoeia of the noise of exploding bamboo culms, which by night were laid into the fire to chase away beasts of prey in Asia. That custom was reported by Marco Polo, the Venetian traveller in A.D.1270.
Bamboo is the plant growing fastest of all known plants in the world. It can grow up to 5cm per hour (Phyllostachys edulis up to 120cm a day!!) and you can really SEE the grass growing. D.D. wrote me, you can even HEAR it growing:
The bamboo's secret of strength lies in its construction. Bamboo is hollow, has enforcing knots in a distance of several ten centimeters and the bundles of fibers are situated in the outer parts of the culms. The surface becomes more and more harder by enriching silica, some species become so hard, that sparks go off the felling tools....
Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC is still showing the first functioning...
