Ecuommia bark is the bark of the tree. It is "sliced" off the tree in such a fashion that the tree is not killed. The final product looks like sheets of bark, with distinctive tread. The bark can be sliced several ways, but most common is thick or thin. The thin form of Du Zhong is very delicate and will pull apart in your hands. The thick form, must be torn apart with a great deal of effort. For this form, the Eucommia bark is ground into a fine powder. Nothing else has been added nor removed. It is just the bark of the Eucommia. We do offer certificate of analysis upon request.
