Wolfiporia cocos
A mild adaptogenic fungus growing on pine roots, used in TCM and Kampo to calm the mind.
Poria cocos (Wolfiporia cocos) is a medicinal fungus used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Kampo for its calming, diuretic, and immunomodulatory properties. Its primary bioactive constituents include pachymic acid, triterpenoids, and polysaccharides (beta-glucans). Evidence from limited clinical and preclinical studies supports its use for anxiety, insomnia, edema, and as an adjunct in cancer therapy.
Poria cocos exerts its effects through multiple pathways. Triterpenoids like pachymic acid modulate GABA-A receptors, contributing to anxiolytic and sedative effects. Polysaccharides, particularly beta-glucans, activate immune cells such as macrophages and natural killer cells via dectin-1 and TLR2/4 receptors, enhancing innate immunity. Additionally, the diuretic action is attributed to increased renal blood flow and inhibition of sodium-potassium ATPase in the renal tubules.
