Description
Fu Shen – 茯神
Latin name: Poriae Cocos Cortex (with hostwood)
Common name: Spirit Poria / Poria (Hostwood)
Part used: Fungus cortex + wood attachment
Traditional meridian affiliation: Heart, Spleen, Lung
Fu Shen (茯神) is a special portion of Poria cocos which includes the fungal cortex plus the part attached to the root wood (“hostwood”), endowing it with stronger calming, anchoring, and spirit-nourishing actions. In traditional herbal theory it is neutral in nature and sweet/bland in flavour. Its key functions are to calm the spirit (Shen), quiet the Heart, eliminate dampness, and support the Spleen’s function of transformation and transport.
Because of the hostwood component, Fu Shen is particularly used in formulations where emotional disturbance, insomnia, palpitations, or restlessness accompany signs of dampness or weakness in the Spleen and Lung.
Phoenix Medical’s Fu Shen is grown under DaoDi principles in its classical cultivation zones, without synthetic herbicides or pesticides. It is dried without sulphur and processed in GMP-certified facilities with controlled methods to preserve its delicate profile. Each batch is fully traceable and undergoes strict testing to meet EU and UK standards for purity, safety, and potency.
