Fu Ling is a highly valuable traditional Chinese medicine with medicinal and dietary benefits. It can be used as both medicine and a health food. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Fu Ling has a bitter taste, neutral nature, and is non-toxic. It has the effects of calming the mind, strengthening the spleen, resolving phlegm, and can also be used by women to resist aging and promote longevity.
