　　　Eucommia is a unique tree species in China, and its use as an external medicine also boasts a very long history in the country. The "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" describes Eucommia as having a "pungent and mild flavor. It treats pain in the lower back and spine, nourishes the exterior, benefits essence and qi, strengthens sinews and bones, enhances willpower, eliminates itching and dampness below the yang, and relieves dribbling urination. Long-term consumption makes the body light and delays aging. Also known as 'Sage Herb,' it grows in mountain valleys." The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that Eucommia bark is "purple in color, sweet with a slight pungency, of warm and mild nature. Its sweetness nourishes, while its slight pungency moisturizes, thus entering the liver and nourishing the kidneys." The "Collected Commentaries on Materia Medica" even states, "For any concerns of the lower yuan (lower part of the body), nothing but Eucommia can nourish it; for dampness in the lower yuan, nothing but Eucommia can dispel it; for soreness in the shins, nothing but Eucommia can remove it; for pain in the waist and knees, nothing but Eucommia can eliminate it." The 2005 edition of the "Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China" (also known as the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia") officially included Eucommia leaves and established chlorogenic acid as the primary medicinal active component in Eucommia leaf medicine, along with its content standards.
