1. Raw material selection: Select Eucommia trees with a long growth period (usually more than 10 years) and peel off the inner bark (the outer lignified part is discarded).

3. Crushing processing: Grind the dried bark into fine powder (usually through 80-200 mesh sieves) to obtain Eucommia bark powder.
