Tu Fu Ling
Tu Fu Ling looks like a wooden tongue. In Chinese "fu" can mean skin, and this is what the herb is good for. Funny enough, though, that the particular "fu" of Tu Fu Ling actually doesn't mean skin. The name of the herb simply refers to where it is grown and what it is:
Tu=earth
Fu=undercurrent
Ling=fungus
It is sweet, bland and neutral and it looks sweet, bland, and neutral, too. Recommended dosage is higher than normal-- 15 to 60g. It's functions are fairly simple:
Eliminating dampness / resolving toxicity for joint pain, turbid urination, damp heat jaundice, and syphilis. And for clearing damp heat from the skin, as in recurrent ulcers or hot skin lesions.
