I have checked out the article on poria cocos, which is an interesting
name for a fungus or mushroom. I noted that it "has been traditionally
used as a tonic to benefit the internal organs", and
has a wide range of health benefits, such as having anti-bacterial and
anti-cancer effects, as well as protecting the liver, prolonging life,
and calming the nerves.
I learnt from a related article that "this
fungus is widely used in traditional medicine to treat chronic
gastritis, acute gastroenteric catarrh, gastric atony, oedema,
nephrosis, dizziness, nausea, and emesis".
Another article I read just now says that poria cocos has also been
used to support the treatment of conditions such as palpitation,
insomnia and so on.
