Wu Zhi Mao Tao Fu Shi Gao (Radix Fici Simplicissimae & Poria Paste) — Traditional Steam-Processed Herbal Wellness Paste, 220g

Wu Zhi Mao Tao Fu Shi Gao (五指毛桃茯湿膏) is a traditional steam-processed herbal paste made from Wu Zhi Mao Tao (Radix Fici Simplicissimae, also known as Hairy Fig Root) and Poria (茯苓, Fú Líng), two well-known food herbs (药食同源) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Wu Zhi Mao Tao has been prized as a gentle, qi-supporting herb traditionally used to fortify the spleen, dispel dampness, and ease the body, while Poria is one of the most revered herbs for calming the spirit, supporting the spleen, and harmonizing fluids. Combined in a slow-steamed paste, they form a convenient daily nourishment traditionally associated with dampness balance and gentle wellness support.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Wu Zhi Mao Tao is simmered into soups and tonics, often paired with Poria, Chinese yam, and lotus seed, to support the spleen and gently resolve dampness during humid seasons. Poria has long been decocted in congee, teas, and classical formulas such as Si Jun Zi Tang, where it is valued for calming the spirit and harmonizing the middle. This steam-processed paste brings those two traditions together into a single, convenient daily preparation—enjoyed straight from the jar or dissolved in warm water as a modern take on the classical herbal decoction.
