Bamboo ... What an amazing gift of Nature! It's incredible! Men can get very creative. But first, let our minds travel through the ages ... do you know the History of Bamboo in Asian Culture? Bamboo is much more than just a grass. For example, in China, Bamboo is a symbol of longevity, while in India, it is a symbol of friendship. In Japan, Bamboo forest was used as part of a sacred barrier against evil. But that is not all... Bamboo is also used as a weapon in Asian martial arts, as an instrument (a flute), as an ingredient in cuisine, as medicine for treating infections, as transportation (bicycles made out of bamboo!) and finally some new laptops have been made out of bamboo (instead of plastic!)....Lately, because of the growing green trend, bamboo fiber, which is 100% bio-degradable, without pollution and is used to manufacture eco-friendly clothes and linens. Bamboo sheets... a real and peasant discovery! I had the opportunity to touch bamboo sheets, it was soft as silk! I wish I could sleep right now on the table where the sample was! They are also natural anti-bacterial, breathable and cool and hypoallergenic! As I said before, Bamboo seems to be a blessing ...
Do you know other things we can do with Bamboo? Have you tried bamboo sheets? Feel free to offer me your input...
