Dried Longan Fruit Whole (Dimocarpus Longan)

Dried Longan Fruit Whole (Dimocarpus longan) is the fully ripened, sun-dried fruit of the longan tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Lóng Yǎn Ròu (龙眼肉). This gently warming, sweet tonic has been treasured for centuries for its ability to nourish the Heart and Spleen, tonify blood, calm the spirit, and support restful sleep. Its naturally sticky-sweet flesh and rich fragrance reflect its traditional role as a blood-building, qi-strengthening, and spirit-soothing food-herb, ideal for deficiency patterns marked by fatigue, palpitations, forgetfulness, and insomnia.

In TCM, Longan Fruit enters the Heart and Spleen channels, where it helps nourish Blood, strengthen qi, and settle the shen (spirit). It is traditionally used for poor memory, anxiety, mild depression, palpitations, night sweats, dizziness, and disturbed sleep, especially when caused by Heart and Spleen deficiency. Its warm, sweet, and harmonizing nature makes it a classic herbal food in convalescence, postpartum recovery, aging support, and stress-related depletion.

In folk herbal practice, dried longan is commonly simmered in teas, soups, porridges, and tonics alongside jujube, ginger, or goji berry to energize the body, nourish the blood, and gently uplift the mood. It is widely used across East Asia as a restorative food, especially during periods of weakness or emotional strain.

Modern research shows that Dimocarpus longan contains polysaccharides, polyphenols, iron, B-vitamins, and calming neuroprotective compounds that help support cognitive function, antioxidant defense, immune regulation, and nervous system balance. These constituents validate its classical reputation for restoring vitality, building blood, and promoting emotional calm.

Each batch of Dried Longan Fruit Whole (Dimocarpus longan) is carefully selected and dried to maintain its golden-brown color, chewy texture, and rich sweetness. When brewed, it yields a warm, fragrant, naturally sweet infusion traditionally used to nourish Heart and Spleen, ease restlessness, strengthen vitality, and support deep, restorative sleep.
