Longan is an excellent Blood and Qi tonic that can be used to relieve heartpalpitation, insomnia, forgetfulness and anxiety associated with Blood andQi deficiency, especially when combined with Qi tonics such as Ginseng, Codonopsisand Astragalus. It is one of the premier blood tonics of Chinese Tonic herbalism,and is often combined with other blood tonics such as Dong Gui and Peony to build blood. Dragon Eye Fruit has a high content of iron, about 20 times that of grapes and 15 times that of spinach. Combined with Spirit tonic herbs such as Ganoderma and Fu Shen, it promotestranquillity. This herb has been found to promote deep, refreshing sleep.For this purpose, it may be combined with Zizyphus. It increases physicalstamina and promotes peripheral circulation, warming up cold hands and feet. Preparation and Utilization Blend with Qi tonic, Blood tonics or Spirit tonics according to your needs. You may eat Longan by itself so long as you don't eat them in excess, since they can cause an upset stomach when overeaten. Try mixing them with walnuts. Primary Combinations Longan Fruit is a fruit which is consumed by every Chinese late each summer when it is in season. It may be consumed alone as an herb as well. However, it is usually combined with other tonic herbs: 1. Ginseng and Dang Gui to strengthen the Spleen and Heart 2. Dang Gui and White Peony to build blood 3. Zizyphus, Spirit Poria and Polygala to calm the mind, stabilize the nerves and develop the Spirit Varieties and Grading This is an herb that must be selected very carefully. The aril, which is the sweet fleshy fruit meat is extremely delicious. The dried fruit obtainable at herb shops is priced based on its flavor and sweetness. Therefore, so producers soak the Longan in sugar water to enhance its sweetness. Buy from a reputable herbalist and ask him or her if the Longan has been sweetened. Buy unsweetened Longan---it is sweet enough without the sugar and is much better for you. I prefer dried Longan that is lighter in color. It is less often artificially sweetened and preserves better. Contraindications Don't eat so much you become ill. Back to Top |
