Poria (Fu Ling), a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herb, possesses effects such as supplementing nutrition, strengthening the constitution, promoting diuresis to reduce edema, invigorating the spleen and nourishing the stomach, and calming the heart to tranquilize the spirit. If any discomfort arises after taking it, patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly.

1. Supplementing Nutrition:  

Fu Ling is rich in vitamins and minerals, providing the body with essential energy and supporting overall health maintenance.

2. Strengthening the Constitution:  

Containing abundant polysaccharides, Fu Ling can enhance physical constitution and boost immunity when consumed appropriately.

3. Promoting Diuresis to Reduce Edema:  

The poria acid in Fu Ling facilitates the expulsion of excess water from the body, alleviating edema and thus exerting a diuretic and swelling-reducing effect.

4. Invigorating the Spleen and Nourishing the Stomach:  

With a sweet and bland nature, Fu Ling enters the Heart, Lung, Spleen, and Kidney channels. It promotes digestion and absorption in the spleen and stomach, offering relief for symptoms such as poor digestion and loss of appetite.

5. Calming the Heart to Tranquilize the Spirit:  

Entering the Heart and Spleen channels, Fu Ling calms the heart and tranquilizes the spirit, helping to regulate symptoms like restlessness, insomnia, and forgetfulness caused by deficiency of the heart and spleen.

During its use, patients are recommended to adjust their dietary habits, favoring light and easily digestible foods such as millet porridge or steamed egg custard, which can enhance the absorption of the herb’s therapeutic effects.
