Poria Mushroom Extract by 7 Gates Apothecary supports fluid balance, emotional tranquility, and digestive harmony, grounded in TCM principles and enhanced with modern mycology.
Poria Mushroom: Inner Harmony by 7 Gates Apothecary is a holistic, adaptogenic extract derived from Poria cocos, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Fu Ling (茯苓). This triple-extracted formula combines water, organic alcohol, and USP-grade vegetable glycerin to preserve the mushroom’s full spectrum of health-promoting compounds.
Long revered in TCM for its ability to drain dampness, calm the Heart, and support Spleen function, Poria is often used to address a wide range of internal imbalances including fluid retention, poor digestion, restlessness, and mental fog. It plays a key role in formulas targeting emotional stability, cognitive function, and urinary health.
This extract may be beneficial for:
- Managing stress, nervous tension, and occasional insomnia
- Supporting digestion and appetite in Spleen Qi deficiency
- Promoting urination and reducing fluid accumulation
- Strengthening immunity and aiding recovery from long illness
- Assisting in protocols for cognitive clarity and neurological health
