Bamboo, is an evergreen plant belonging to the Poaceae family that grows mainly in tropical and subtropical climates of the Far East. The type of development of this plant is very variable: in some species it develops considerably horizontally or vertically, while others have a more contained, bushy development. In both cases they have rhizomatous roots and robust cylindrical stems of green color and curved at the apex, from which the thin and lanceolate leaves develop.

Bamboo is used in many different ways that can range from food to building.

In phytotherapy, bamboo is particularly appreciated for its silicon content, a mineral useful for combating hair loss and weakening of the nails. The level of silicon in our body is in fact closely linked to the degree of aging, and is irreversibly reduced, the amount of silicon fixed by the body decreases with age. Silicon is involved in the formation of bones, hair, nails, cartilage and skin as a catalyst. This component makes bamboo one of the most sought-after ingredients in the formulation of food supplements for the well-being of nails and hair.

Even cosmetics use bamboo for the beauty of skin and hair: it has regenerating and toning properties and is particularly suitable for dry, sensitive and tired skin and fine, brittle or dull hair.
