| Remarks | Japanese Zhuling is called "Shinchorei" in Japan. It is less heavy and has a lot of constrictions. Chinese Zhuling "Tochorei" is hard and has less irregularity. Both Zhuling and Fuling (Poria) act as diuretc, antitumor, heat clearing and dampness draining. Fuling is effective in invigorating, but Zhuling is not. Zhuling is also applied to treat the symptom accompanied with heat. | |||||
