Origin of bamboo salt

The head Buddhist monk of Kaeam Buddhist Temple handed down the secret of bamboo salt to Kaeam Foods who further developed it in a scientific way. Buddhist monks had manufactured bamboo salts for over a thousand years as an emergency drug.

What is bamboo salt?

Bamboo salt is a secret that has long been used among Buddhist monks and shows the wisdom of our ancestors. The modern industrial society has disrupted the natural environment and tipped the balance and order of the nature. Such destructive behaviors led to outbreaks of incurable or hard-to-cure diseases that we never heard of before. The modern medicine turned to the modern science for the solution, but the success is still a long way to go.
Our ancestors with a long history and traditions showed their talent not only in literature but also in medicine. They had made full efforts to save lives of people in pain. They tried to treat sick people and prevent diseases in the middle of the creative order and mysteries of the nature. People in the modern age are easily and unknowingly exposed to air and water pollutions, toxic chemicals and radiations. Additionally, people get stressed in a hectic competition of the society, and suffer from cancers or other incorrigible diseases resulting from irregular diets or habits. Unidentified diseases break out. Modern diseases presumably result from pollutions, stress, irregular diets and metabolic disorder from the destruction of the nature.
It is bamboo salt that people in the modern society desperately need among the secrets handed down by our ancestors.
When our body debilitates and gets infected, germs attack our body and toxic matters and bodily functions deteriorate. Curing our sick body is alleviating infections inside and outside our body and preventing it from getting rotten. Salt is known to sterilize infectious parts and used as antiphilogistics. It is bamboo salt that maximizes such characteristics of salt using bamboo, yellow mud, or pine trees. Four ingredients mix at very high temperature nine times and turn into efficacious bamboo salt; bamboo that recovers damaged cell tissues, Yuhwangjung (sulfur ingredient) in yellow mud, Hackbiso in salt that sterilizes and prevents decaying, and resin recovering flesh, blood, moisture and oil that comprise the body. Bamboo salt has been widely used among Buddhist monks and is manufactured going through nine rounds of refinement along with human efforts and fine ingredients. When salt that keeps cells from decomposing or degenerating, and has good and harmful elements, is heated at high temperature (1000C ? 1500C), minerals essential to human life are generated and harmful elements are eliminated. Heated salt turns into an active matter. Bamboo salt is manufactured through nine rounds of refining bamboo, Yuhwangjun, Hackbiso and resin to maximize its medicinal effects. Bamboo salt facilitates metabolism that activates cell functions, and balances acid and alkali in the body by maintaining osmotic pressure. A simple test found that you would see blooding stop and new tissues regenerated very fast when you apply bamboo salt to the wound. If you put bamboo salt into the blood collected from the wound, the blood can be purified. So, if you take bamboo salt before you drink, you will slow down being drunk and prevent hangover. There are many clinical cases and applications of bamboo salt. Bamboo is essential to lead a long and healthy life for people in the modern age who suffer from pollutions and toxic chemicals.

How does bamboo work in a human body?

Bamboo eliminates toxic elements, sterilizes germs, regenerates damaged cell tissues, purifies blood, soothes inflammations, changes constitutions into acid and keeps germs away. In a nutshell, bamboo salt is a mysterious matter that reflects wisdom and tradition of our ancestors.

Efficacy of bamboo, salt, yellow mud and pine tree described in Dongi Bogam, Bonchokangmok, Hwangjenaekyong and New Nongbonchokyong

Dongi Bogam says that salt is warming, salty, and harmless. It gets rid of germs, toxic matters and harm. It controls Jungak (a disease where a patient is deluded and faints.) and heartache. It stops stomachache and pains in abdomen and chest. It helps vomits old foods and cure boil. It also reinforces five tastes.

Bamboo

Bamboo has many uses as drug from its roots to its leaves. According to various medical literatures, bamboo is highly efficacious in curing stomachache, stopping stomach bleeding, discharging phlegm, and controlling stroke, diabetes, headache, hypertension, dizziness, prenuptial anemia, child convolutions, epilepsy, insomnia, overdrinking and eyesore, and relieving fatigue.

Dongihak Sajun says the bamboo oil is cold and sweet. It cures stomach spasm, cools down heat and discharges phlegm. It also is used for coughs, convolutions, epilepsy, and tetanus. You may drink bamboo oil, boils it into syrup or make it into tablets. It is not good for diarrhea. The greenish and hard bamboo bark of outer layer has a white gold element, which is believed to contain mysterious efficacy. This is called inner skin.

Pine tree resin.

It tastes bitter and sweet. It is warm and harmless. It makes five intestine organs easy and cools down. It cures incorrigible swellings and controls cavities resulting from earache and toothache. When it is applied to all wounds, new tissues are reproduced, pain is stopped and bacteria are killed. The best resin is collected in June. Pine resin makes brighten eyes, and treats inflammation, tumor, wounds, etc. It also kills germs and reproduces tissues. Along with bamboo salt, it purifies blood and strengthens bones.


Yellow earth

It is peaceful, sweet and harmless. It cures twisting pains of the stomach. It also alleviates meat poisoning and liver poisoning.
The dirt within three feet from the surface is called ?bun? while dirt deeper than three feet is called ?to (earth)?. Necessarily, true earth has no moisture and foreign matters. Earth usually absorbs poisons and treats boils on the back, acute jaundice, and feverish diseases.

Thesis and clinical test results of bamboo salt

Study on the suppressive effects of bamboo salt and edible salt on the proliferation of microbes in the mouth
(Sohn, Woo Sung, Dentistry Department, Professor Kim Jong Yul)

It found that bamboo salt is more effective in suppressing the proliferation of fungi and killing fungi than edible salt. This is because not only high PH in bamboo salt but also minerals and other metal elements act together against fungi.

Study on the manufacturing method and efficacy of bamboo salt
By Daegu Science High School (a prize-winning thesis in the 39th Science Contest)

1. Suppression of proliferation of microbes and fungi ? As a result of cultivating fungi in the indoor air, the higher bamboo salt concentration is the more effective in suppressing fungi. It is sterilization and antibacterial effect. Bamboo salt remarkably suppresses the proliferation of microbes and kills them at 10 percent of the concentration. Bamboo salt has phenomenally holds down microbial proliferation compared with NaCl of the same concentration.
2. Effect of bamboo salt on the growth of white rat ? One group of rats were given feeds and the other feed mixed with bamboo salt. The group feeding bamboo salt showed better growth and eat more. It is presumed that trace elements in bamboo salt may affect the growth. Usually silicon is known to work for growth.
3. Reaction of heavy metals and bamboo salt ? Bamboo salt solution reacts with metals to produce sulfuric oxides. Sterilization and anti-bacteria effects of sulfuric ions are already known.
4. Injection of heavy metals into rats who eats bamboo salt ? many of the rats who ate much bamboo salt survived after the injection of heavy metals. It means heavy metals are detoxified. So, bamboo salt can be used as antidote. Heavy metals react with sulfuric ions into solid. Sulfuric ions settle down with heavy metals and bamboo salt can detoxify heavy metals when we absorb heavy metals.
Bamboo salt can be a source of minerals and strengthen resistance to diseases.

Analysis of elements of bamboo salt and clinical test
Prof. Nam Jung by the oriental medicine department of Changchun University, China

Gae Am bamboo salt showed remarkable effect in curing gastritis. We thought that bamboo salt improved Ph conditions in the stomach and transformed inflammation. It is not harmful when we take it for a long time and it is a good drug worth spreading.

1. Observatory reports of 48 clinical tests to cure contractive gastritis
All of 48 gastritis are typical stomach disease having common progress and physical symptoms. Stomach endoscopes were used to diagnosis. There were 30 male and 18 female patients aged from 45 to 58. The longest suffering period is 17 years and the shortest is 6 months.
They took 1.5 gram, three times a day for 30 days. Before and after taking bamboo salt, all patients had endoscopes and data were gathered from clinical reports on stomach endoscopes. During the period, they shied away from smoking and drinking. They had controlled diet and heating and cooling were controlled as well.

2. Analysis
Out of 48 subjects, 31 patients, or 65 percent showed outstanding improvement and 15 patients showed good improvement while 2 patients or 4 percent, showed no sign of improvement. Therefore 96 percent showed improvement. Contractive gastritis are very common disease. According to the literature, incidence is on the rise and is cited as a disease before stomach cancer. In addition, western and oriental medical doctors cite the disease as one of the diseases hard to diagnose and cure.

3. 10 observatory results of curing pinkeye with bamboo salt.
Curing pinkeye with bamboo sale was satisfactory and all the patients showed improvement. Pinkeye is highly epidemic and acute eye disease. The white of the eye turns red and people say it is a red-eye disease.

4. Analysis of effects
One or two drops of bamboo salt solutions were dropped into eyes three or four times a day for three days. All of the ten people cured the disease within three days. The effect was 100 percent.

Physiological activity of methane extracts by part of bamboo

Introduction
Most research of bamboo was concentrated on bamboo leaves such as the study on the anti-bacteria effect of bamboo leaf extracts on fomenting microbes of Kimchi, study on physiological activity of Pleioblastus Hindsii and anti-bacterial effects of bamboo sap composition, study on geology and anti-oxidation of Phyuostachys bambusoides, study on suppressing insects with bamboo leaves when storing wheat, etc. Arundoin, cylindrin and friedelin are known among major ingredients.
Recently much research is done on dietary fiber, anti-cancer activity, anti-tumor activity and various physiological activities of bamboo. However, studies on physiological activities are not systemically carried out and in particular, research is little don on phloem, xylem, and pith cavity film. Therefore, this study is intended to review physiological functions of Phyuostachys bambusoides in Korea and inspect various physiological activities by part leaves, phloem, xylem and pith cavity film so as to use it as food.

Summary
Physiological activities of methane extracts from each part (leaves, phloem, xylem, inner film) are studied to develop bamboo foods. Phenol contents of each part are as follows;2.42% in bamboo leaves, 3.23% in bamboo bark, 1.32% in inner film, and 2.64% in xylem. Bamboo bark has the highest content of phenol. As a result of measuring electron-donating ability using DPPH, all extracts showed over 60 percent and bamboo bark showed the highest ability. In the case of eliminating radicals with TBA method, leave, bark and xylem are founded over 85 percent activity while inner film showed relatively low 50 percent. When eliminating nitrite of methane extracts, there were not many differences among bamboo parts and all showed over 50 percent of elimination.
As a result of measuring the inhibition of lipoxygenase generating peroxide by oxidating unsaturated lipid, bamboo bark showed over 95% activities.
When studying anti-bacterial effect of degenerative microbes, inner film showed the highest anti-bacterial activity. Particularly, it showed the highest activity on B.cereuse and Listeria, almost the same level with that of benzoic acid, food preservative. When studying mutagenesis and anti-mutation effect using S.typhimurium TA 98 and 100, all parts showed less than 2.0 of mutation ratio and it was found that there was little mutation activities with no dependency on the concentration. Inner film showed highest anti-mutation effect in terms of direct and indirect mutation. Bamboo leaves showed the highest figure in the test of measuring inhibition effects of Angiotension converting enzyme (ACE).

Bamboo salt is strong alkaline food and turns an acidified constitution into neutral. It prevents various adult diseases resulting from an acidified constitution.

Bamboo is a strong alkaline with over 10 pH.

What is bamboo salt different from ordinary salt?

1. Iron does not get rusty in bamboo salt solution (1%) while it gets rusty in salt solution (1%). It means iron does not oxidize. Aging a human body ultimately is oxidation of human body. Therefore, antioxidant is highly valued.
2. Drinking 0.9% salty water causes thirst while drinking two or three times the concentration of bamboo salty water does not cause thirst. As our body should maintain 0.9% concentration of salty water to allow for physiological functions, essential elements include 18 inorganic minerals. Thirst is a sign to require our body to dilute toxic matters in it. Bamboo salt with two or three times the concentration of the salty water does not cause thirst and physiological rejection, and it was found safe in the toxicity test.
3. It was published in the first edition by Korea Jajugyeon Institute (Bamboo salt) that bamboo salt reduced inflammatory or cellular factors and agents of tumor death.
4. Salt is acid but bamboo salt is strong alkaline with over 10 pH. It suppresses inflammatory agents.
5. Salt has strong oxidation but, bamboo salt has strong reduction ability, that is, powerful anti-oxidation.
6. Dana-Faber Cancer Institute of Harvard University found that bamboo salt caused no side effects.
7. Salt has an ion-grid structured crystal and has molecular composition at high temperature. But, at room temperature, it has an ion-grid structure. The fact that bamboo salt has one-tenth grid structure which slightly inclines means it has high energy potential. That leads to strong reduction power.
8. Bamboo salt has trace minerals unlike ordinary salt. Energy waves of pine trees and bamboo and pin tree resins transmit to bamboo salt, which tastes like a mixture of the yellow part of an egg, sweetness and bitterness.
9. Salt is made by water but bamboo salt is made by fire. Its chemical characteristics are opposite to those of salt. Salt is charged positive while is charged negative.

How to manufacture Bamboo salt

Please cut the three-year-old bamboo weathered by sea wind, with one end open and the other blocked. Mix salt from the mud flat of the west coast with Jajangsu, water made of oil-free yellow earth and put the mixture into the bamboo tube. Then, put the tube in a specially made furnace and heat it with pine trees. After 24 hours, there is left only salt pillar that absorbed resins of bamboo, pine trees and yellow earth. Grind the salt pillar and repeat the process eight more times. At the ninth round, apply pine resin to it and heat it up to 1200 C. Then, the salt melts away and becomes hard. The powdered salt is called bamboo salt. The mystery of bamboo salt is a mixture of Hackbiso and Yuhwangjung with a mysterious matter in the seawater at high temperature.

Applications and efficacy

1) Stomach
Bamboo salt is very good for digestive intestines. In particular, it works fast for gullet, gallbladder, and ulcer. When we get sick, saliva spreads into the body. Therefore, when we take bamboo salt, melt it with saliva and absorb the liquid.

2) Liver
Bamboo salt purifies bodily liquid and blood and soothes inflammation. It helps liver detoxify its poisoning. Particularly, it helps intestines function to prevent constipation. Bamboo salt is very helpful to the liver.

3) Cough, bronchitis, gum diseases
If you use bamboo salt when you brush your teeth, it kills various germs in your mouth and makes healthy gum. It prevents oral diseases, sore throat and tonsillitis. Brushing your teeth with bamboo salt can prevent toothache, and other dental diseases. It is effective to brush your teeth with bamboo salt twice a day and take 1 gram of bamboo salt with saliva five to seven times a day.

4) Hangover
If you take bamboo salt before you drink, it helps alleviate the damage to your liver and slow down being drunk. If you take bamboo salt after drinking, it helps the liver detoxify itself. This time, it is very helpful to take with dried Pollack soup.

5) Constipation
Bamboo salt helps the functions of the intestines to alleviate constipation and facilitate digestion by activating stomach, liver and pancreas. When you take bamboo salt, gas is discharged temporarily. This is to clean intestines.
To prevent constipation and keep fit, take many fruits and vegetables and drink water frequently and take bamboo salt.

6) Other applications
If you mix water with 10 grams of bamboo salt when you take a bath, and apply it to the entire body, your skin will become smooth and wrinkles are prevented. Your skin will become flexible.

7) Pimples and skin aesthetics
When you wash your face with bamboo salty water every morning and evening, it alleviates pimple by eliminating germs on the skin.

8) Eye diseases
Mix water with bamboo salt at 10 to 1 ratio and then filter it. You can put it into a small bottle and use it as eye water. Apply it three times a day and wash your face with the water. When you apply the water to eyes, wounds and skin diseases, you may feel painful for the first few days, but it improves. Cleaning with the salty water every day may prevent diseases and aging, and protect your eye vision.
For empyema and middle ear infection, use a small rod with cotton tips and dip the rod into the water manufactured as the same way above. The wet rod is put into nose or ear. It is good to melt more bamboo salt than in the eye water.

9) Protection of vocal cord
When your vocal cord is sore and you have heavy phlegm, slowly swallow bamboo salt with saliva. It will clean your cord and maintain your voice. It is very useful for those who use vocal cords a lot such as teachers, vocalists or instructors.

How to take bamboo salt
1) Take 1 gram at a time three or five times, 30 minutes before and after meal and before you go to bed.
2) The best way is to take it with your saliva. However, if it is first time to take bamboo salt, take it with water or ginger tea. (But, take with cold tea.)
3) You may have detoxification reactions. If so, you take smaller dose and then increase the intake.

Detoxification reaction
It is an interim phenomenon occurring when the human body improves. It is called improvement reaction and is different from side effects. It is temporary phenomenon when the disease gets better. In oriental medicine, with the detoxification reaction, a disease does not get better. Such reactions include the pains on your leg when you start workout, withdrawal symptoms when you stop smoking or drinking or fasting.

For examples
1) Oversensitive reaction
2) Excretion reaction
3) Laxity
4) Recovery

When you have one of these symptoms, please reduce your intake to one third. It is not applied to all people.


Effects of bamboo salt
It has strong sterilization effect that helps cure all kinds of inflammation (gastric ulcer, heart disease, duodensol ulcer)
It purifies blood.
It turns acid constitution into neutral constitution to prevent adult?s diseases.
Strong anti oxidation maintains powerful constitution and delays aging.

Negative values mean stronger reduction.

Just like most of oriental herbal medicine, it is difficult to prove bamboo salt?s efficacy and effects, but its curing effect for inflammation is being discovered and proved. For the last fifteen years, experiences showed bamboo salt was involved in almost every disease including adult diseases such as cancer, hypertension and diabetes.
In particular, bamboo salt is a kind of food and causes no side effect. In addition, it is effective with every person who takes bamboo salt.
Nine-time baked salt shows clear curing effect while two-time baked salt shows ignorable curing effect despite the same contents. So, it is urgent to discover unknown contents of bamboo salt.
Nine-time baked salt will be better used to cure while two-time baked salt had better be used as preventive measures.
