Description
Fu Ling Dices (Poria cocos) are the dried, cubed sclerotium of a highly revered traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Fú Líng (茯苓). Also called White Poria, Fu Ling has been prized for centuries as a gentle, spleen-supporting, dampness-transforming herb used in daily teas, congee, and slow-simmered soups. Its nature is sweet, bland, and neutral, making it one of the mildest yet most widely used herbs for supporting the Spleen, calming the spirit, and harmonizing the body's fluid balance.
