I think if you know white Poria cocos, you must know white peony root and white atractylodes. The most widely circulated Chinese medicine beauty recipe is probably the Sanbai Decoction recorded in the Ming Dynasty (16th century) medical work "Introduction to Medicine", which includes "5 grams each of white peony root, white atractylodes, and white poria, 2.5 grams of licorice, decocted in water and taken warm." This prescription was originally used to treat typhoid fever and restlessness, but later it was found to be able to replenish qi and blood, whiten and moisturize the skin, and thus became popular among the people. This prescription is well-matched and suitable for rough skin, chlorosis, chloasma, pigmentation, etc. caused by deficiency of qi and blood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the smoothness of a person's skin is closely related to the function of the internal organs. If the internal organs are diseased and the Qi and blood are not harmonious, the skin will be rough and spots will appear on the face. Therefore, this prescription starts from harmonizing qi and blood and regulating the functions of the five internal organs, thereby whitening and removing spots.
