Poria is a type of fungus related to polyporus, which usually grows on pine trees. In traditional Chinese medicine, poria is considered to have either a sweet taste or no taste, and neutral properties. It is associated with the Heart, Spleen, Lung and Kidney meridians. Among its functions, poria expels dampness, invigorates the spleen, relaxes the mind and replenishes the middle jiao. It is often combined with other herbs to create larger formulas used to treat conditions ranging from dysuria and edema to insomnia. The typical recommended dose of poria is between 9 and 15 grams per day, usually powdered and taken with boiled water as a decoction.
