Poria (Fu Ling), a well-known traditional Chinese herb, is a type of mushroom highly valued for its medicinal properties. It is typically found growing on the roots of pine trees and has been used for centuries in herbal medicine. Poria is celebrated for its ability to promote healthy fluid metabolism, support digestive health, and enhance calmness by relieving stress and anxiety. It is commonly used in formulas to strengthen the spleen, reduce dampness, and promote urination, which helps in addressing conditions like edema. Its mild, sweet flavor makes it easy to incorporate into a variety of herbal blends.
