Wu Ling Zhi (Trogopterus Dung / Trogopterori Faeces) — Prepared Herbal Powder, 500g

Wu Ling Zhi (五灵脂), also known as Trogopterus Dung or Trogopterori Faeces, is the dried feces of the flying squirrel Trogopterus xanthipes, a distinctive traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) material long honored in classical formulas. In TCM it is classified as a blood-invigorating, stasis-dispelling, and pain-relieving herb, traditionally used in prepared (processed) form to move blood, break stagnation, and ease discomfort. Its nature is bitter, sweet, and warm, entering the Liver and Spleen channels, where it is traditionally valued for harmonizing blood flow and supporting the smooth movement of qi and blood.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Wu Ling Zhi is decocted into soups and classical formulas, often paired with herbs such as Pu Huang (cattail pollen) or Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis) to support blood movement and ease discomfort. It is traditionally used in prepared form (Zhi Wu Ling Zhi) to soften its nature and enhance its blood-invigorating and pain-relieving qualities. As a powder, it is sometimes taken with warm water or blended into herbal decoctions for daily wellness support.
