How It's Used

In Chinese herbal traditions, Poria is cherished for its ability to promote balance by drying dampness, supporting natural water metabolism, and strengthening the spleen. It is also valued for its calming properties, encouraging relaxation and mental clarity.

In Western herbal practices, Poria is appreciated for its natural antioxidant and supportive properties. It is often associated with promoting balance in the immune system, liver, and overall vitality.
