Wu Zhi Mao Tao Fu Shi Gao (Radix Fici Simplicissimae Herbal Paste) — Steamed Damp-Clearing Herbal Paste with Chi Xiao Dou & Fu Ling

Wu Zhi Mao Tao Fu Shi Gao (五指毛桃伏湿膏) is a traditional steamed herbal paste made from the root of Radix Fici Simplicissimae, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Wǔ Zhǐ Máo Táo (五指毛桃), combined with Chi Xiao Dou (赤小豆, Vigna umbellata) and Fu Ling (茯苓, Poria cocos). This ready-to-eat paste is crafted through a slow steaming and decoction process that concentrates the gentle, earthy character of these well-known food-herb ingredients. In TCM food therapy, Wu Zhi Mao Tao is valued as a sweet, slightly warm herb that supports the Spleen and Lung, while Chi Xiao Dou and Fu Ling are classic damp-clearing, Spleen-supporting botanicals traditionally used in seasonal nourishment.
