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.
