[Bamboo Flesh] Salty in taste, warm in nature, highly toxic. Primarily used to kill three types of parasites (parasites), eliminate toxic pathogenic factors, and break down old blood stasis. After boiling in ash lye three times and refining thoroughly, it can be consumed like ordinary vegetables. If not sufficiently refined, it will pierce the throat causing bleeding, and nails on hands and feet will completely detach. It grows on branches of bitter bamboo, resembling an egg or a piece of meat. It is believed to have other therapeutic effects, though these are not yet fully recognized by people. Also known as Bamboo Seed.
[Yellow Bamboo Shoot / Bamboo Maggot] Bitter in taste, slightly toxic. Primarily used to treat maggots in sores of livestock (cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens).

It is edible after boiling in ash lye; otherwise, it will pierce the throat. This type of bamboo grows in clumps, comprising various non-uniform species. Zhang Ding stated in *Dietary Therapy*: When Ci Bamboo encounters rain in summer, dripping juice falls to the ground and sprouts, resembling deer antlers, white in color. Taken, washed, and eaten with ginger and soy sauce, it effectively treats all types of bloody and white dysentery.
