Yu Ling Tonic comes from the "Sui Xi Ju Food Recipe" written by Wang Mengying, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty. It is made of longan meat, American ginseng and white sugar, and has the effect of nourishing qi and blood. In ancient times, poor patients could not afford ginseng, so they often used this paste instead, so it was called Daishen Paste.


Wang said that it "greatly replenishes qi and blood, and is more effective than ginseng and astragalus", which shows that its tonic effect should not be underestimated.

Production method

Material:

  • 500g longan meat

  • 500g American ginseng

practice:

  1. Grind American ginseng into fine powder.

  2. Wash the longan flesh and put it into the stew pot.

  3. Add American ginseng powder and mix well.

  4. Cover the mouth of the stew pot with cotton cloth and steam (add a small spoonful of rice to the water) for about 40 hours (can be done over several days).


Dosage: Put one spoon of Yuling paste into a cup every day and drink it with boiling water.




After more than 40 hours of steaming, the nutritional value and efficacy of Yu Ling Tonicwill be significantly improved, mainly due to several key reasons.


First, the long steaming time allows the effective ingredients of longan pulp and American ginseng to fully blend , thereby enhancing their tonic effect. This process ensures the synergy between the different ingredients, making the medicinal effect more significant.


Secondly, the extended steaming time can improve the efficiency of the effective ingredients in the medicinal materials being absorbed by the human body. Through long-term steaming, the active ingredients of the medicinal materials are more easily released, allowing the human body to better utilize these nutrients , so the nourishing effect is significantly improved.


In addition to improving absorption, long-term steaming also helps reduce the irritants that may be present in the herbs , thereby reducing side effects such as getting angry. This treatment makes Yuling Paste a gentler choice, suitable for those who need to take it for a long time, especially for those with weak constitutions.


Finally, according to traditional Chinese medicine experience, long-term steaming can make the nourishing effect of medicinal materials reach the best state. This is also an important reason why Yuling Paste is required to be steamed for more than 40 hours to ensure that the finished product can exert a more stable and lasting medicinal effect in the body when used.

Qi and blood deficiency is a common problem among people with sub-health. If a person with blood deficiency stands up suddenly after squatting for two minutes, his eyes will suddenly turn black, and it will take a while for his eyes to return to normal. This is usually a manifestation of insufficient Qi and blood.


According to Chinese medicine theory, Qi and blood are mutually generated, so blood supplementation at this time will have a very good effect. The main causes of blood deficiency include spleen and stomach weakness. Modern people often suffer from spleen and stomach weakness and insufficient Qi and blood production due to overeating or drinking cold drinks. In addition, excessive thinking will also damage the heart blood and lead to blood deficiency.


At this time, Yu Ling Tonic can become an important auxiliary product for daily conditioning, improving the patient's overall condition, not only enhancing the body's disease resistance, but also promoting the comfort and vitality of daily activities. Therefore, Yu Ling Tonic is a traditional Chinese medicine health product that is very suitable for people with weak constitutions.


For the elderly, weak Qi and blood are common problems, especially when facing memory loss, insomnia, and dreaminess. Yu Ling Tonic can help improve these symptoms. The elderly's body functions decline, and they often feel tired and flustered. Taking Yu Ling Tonic can help them replenish Qi and blood, restore physical strength, and improve the quality of life.
