Known as Fu Ling Pi (茯苓皮), the peel differs from the inner white portion of the fungus and has traditionally been used to support healthy fluid balance, promote urinary wellness, encourage healthy circulation of body fluids, and maintain overall balance. It remains an important ingredient in classical herbal formulas designed to support the body's natural water metabolism.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn traditional use, Tuckahoe Peel has most commonly been prepared as a decoction or incorporated into multi-herb formulations. Within Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fu Ling Pi has historically been used to support normal fluid metabolism, encourage urinary tract wellness, and promote comfort associated with occasional fluid retention. It is frequently combined with complementary herbs to help maintain the body's natural balance while supporting digestive and urinary function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuckahoe Peel has also traditionally been associated with digestive and spleen wellness, where it has been used to support healthy digestion, promote nutrient utilization, and encourage the body's natural elimination of excess moisture. Unlike the inner portion of Fu Ling, which is traditionally appreciated for its calming qualities, the peel has been especially valued for its role in supporting healthy fluid distribution and maintaining normal water balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern research shows that Wolfiporia extensa contains polysaccharides, triterpenoids, pachymic acid, poricoic acids, sterols, and antioxidant compounds with documented antioxidant, immune-supportive, digestive-supportive, and urinary wellness-supportive properties. These naturally occurring constituents complement the fungus's traditional use for supporting healthy fluid balance, digestive wellness, urinary health, and overall vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach batch of Tuckahoe Peel Pieces (Wolfiporia extensa) is carefully selected and gently dried to preserve its natural quality, earthy aroma, and beneficial fungal compounds. The peel pieces are ideal for traditional decoctions, herbal soups, extracts, and custom botanical formulations, making them a valuable addition to a wellness routine focused on supporting healthy fluid balance, urinary wellness, digestive health, and overall well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Khan Hing Tong","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":70977330053373,"sku":"LA-6447","price":2.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 oz","offer_id":70977330086141,"sku":"LA-6448","price":4.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":70977330118909,"sku":"LA-6449","price":12.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":70977330151677,"sku":"LA-6450","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/6732\/8765\/files\/ChatGPTImageJul31_2026_01_10_17AM.png?v=1785485451","url":"https:\/\/laherb.com\/en-ca\/products\/tuckahoe-peel-pieces-wolfiporia-extensa","provider":"LA Herb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
