Bamboo shoot is not only eaten for its flavor and taste by the tribal communities but is also appreciated as an important plant by the nature for its medicinal role. Use of shoots by the tribal people in various forms to eradicate a disease is well known in Ayurveda since ancient times. This paper reviews the utilization of medicinal properties acquired by bamboo shoot. Further investigation is required by the researchers to make novel nutraceutical products and benefit the society.
