Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Yu Ling Gao is a classic home-cooked nourishing paste, traditionally prepared by slowly steaming longan aril with American ginseng over many hours until it becomes a dark, syrupy tonic. It is taken by the spoonful in the morning or evening, or stirred into warm water as a gentle daily drink. Longan (Gui Yuan) is traditionally associated with nourishing the Heart and Spleen and supporting blood, while American ginseng (Xi Yang Shen) is prized in TCM for gently replenishing qi and nourishing yin without excessive warmth—making this pairing a beloved everyday tonic in Chinese households.
