Eucommia Bark Powder

Production process

1. Raw material selection: Select Eucommia trees with a long growth period (usually more than 10 years) and peel off the inner bark (the outer lignified part is discarded).

2. Cleaning and drying: After removing impurities, dry naturally or at low temperature (to avoid high temperature destroying active ingredients) until the moisture content is less than 10%.

3. Crushing processing: Grind the dried bark into fine powder (usually through 80-200 mesh sieves) to obtain Eucommia bark powder.
