Disease description:

I’ve always had poor gastrointestinal health, primarily experiencing frequent abdominal bloating. A friend recommended drinking water infused with longan aril, jujube (Chinese date), and goji berries. Could you please tell me what benefits this infusion offers?

Dr. Shen Yonghua
Longan aril, goji berries, and red dates steeped together in hot water exert synergistic effects to invigorate Qi, nourish Yin, and tonify both Qi and blood. Among these, red dates primarily enter the Spleen and Stomach meridians and are especially effective for treating Spleen deficiency syndromes—such as poor appetite, abdominal distension, and diarrhea—thereby strengthening the Spleen and Stomach. Longan aril benefits Heart Qi, fortifies the Spleen and Stomach, and strengthens muscles; it is commonly used to treat palpitations, cardiac anxiety, shortness of breath upon exertion, insomnia, and general debility. Goji berries nourish Liver and Kidney Yin and are indicated for dizziness, blurred or dim vision, sore lower back, weakness and soreness in the lower back and knees, and diabetes mellitus. Combined, these three herbs provide comprehensive nourishment and tonification. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
