Evidence grade: Promisingauto-proposed · unreviewedSafety signal: Adverse-event literature existsMapping confidence: Strong correspondence

The three axes are assessed independently and are never combined into a single score.

KTKP records the origin species as Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf. It has not yet been cross-checked against the Korean Pharmacopoeia, so the identification confidence is not raised to an official code mapping. The same drug appears under 4 records as name variants. The same source species also yields 1 other separately registered drug(s) (Hoelen cum Pini Radix), which must not be conflated. The name most used for this taxon in current literature is Poria cocos. Literature searches for this herb also cover Pachyma hoelen, Wolfiporia cocos — the same taxon appears under several names. The nomenclatural discussion for this herb was flagged for correction during verification; only the verified facts are shown here, with the details in docs/HERB_NAME_RESEARCH.md.
