In Ayurveda, the Indian system of traditional medicine, the silicious concretion found in the culms of the bamboo stem is called banslochan. It is known as tabashir or tawashir in Unani-Tibb the Indo-Persian system of Medicine. In English this concretion is called "bamboo manna". This concretion is said to be a tonic for the respiratory diseases.

In most Indian literature, Bambusa arundinacea is described as the source of bamboo manna. (Puri, 2003).The major components of Bamboo Leaves Extract are flavonoids, lactones and phenolic acids.
