Poria

Poria is an underground sclerotium resembling a small potato or truffle. Its pachymic acid supports fluid balance and exerts a relaxing effect on the central nervous system, often used to support kidney filtration. While its pharmacological profile is robust, it is sensory-neutral, making it largely tasteless and odorless with a firm, chalk-like texture, usually processed into fine powders or decoctions for easy daily intake.
