Abstract
Bamboo salt was first produced by Jin-pyo Yul-sa during his meditation period at the famous Busa-Uibang in Korea and passed on mainly by Buddhist priests through generations as a folk medicine. Antiobesity effects of bamboo salt: Obesity is defined as accumulation of energy as adipose tissues for maintenance of metabolic balance, caused by energy intake beyond an individual's energy expenditure. The hepatoprotective effect of bamboo salt was evaluated for hepatic damage induced by carbon tetrachloride in Sprague–Dawley rats. Dentifrice containing bamboo salt and the positive control group up-regulated surface hardness and down-regulated mineral loss of the artificial caries-like enamel lesions. Dentifrice containing bamboo salt reduced lesion depth compared to positive and negative control groups. Bamboo salt has been found to have various health functionalities, owing to its special processing methods: repetition of a baking cycle with the salt stuffed into a bamboo cylinder and then baked at 800°C or above.
