Tang Ling Zhi (Trogopterus Dung / Wulingzhi) — Dried Herbal Pieces, 500g Bulk

Tang Ling Zhi (糖灵脂), also known as Wǔ Líng Zhī (五灵脂) or Trogopterus Dung, is the dried fecal pellet of the flying squirrel (Trogopterus xanthipes), a traditional animal-derived herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Historically honored as a blood-quickening, stasis-dispelling, and pain-relieving substance, Wulingzhi has been prized for centuries in formulas addressing abdominal pain, menstrual discomfort, and stagnant blood conditions. Its nature is bitter, sweet, and warm, entering the Liver and Spleen channels, where it works to invigorate blood, break up stasis, and ease pain.

It appears in classical TCM formulas such as Shi Xiao San (失笑散), traditionally used for abdominal and menstrual discomfort associated with blood stagnation.
