Asian cultures take Eucommia bark as a life-enhancing tonic herb that calms nerves while strengthening the body. Recognized for its ability to enhance mental creativity, Eucommia increases immunity, sexual vitality and tissue regeneration. Research shows that Eucommia is one of the few herbs that contains bioactive compounds exhibited by both phytoandrogenic and phytoestrogenic activities, which facilitate and balance sex hormones through both androgen and estrogen receptors. Eucommia can even help men recover from sexual exhaustion while strengthening the lower back, skeleton, knees, ankles and joints.
