Note
Ginseng and Longan Combination is the premier classical Spleen-Heart tonic of Chinese tonic herbalism. This formula tonifies two of the three treasures: it strengthens the Qi (both the Qi and the Blood components); and calms the Shen, allowing it to grow.

When both Heart Blood and Spleen Qi are deficient, one should nourish the Heart and activate the Spleen energy. The Heart is nourished by enriching the Blood. When the vital energy (Qi) and the Blood are enriched, the Heart and the Shen are calm and the circulation of the vital energy (Qi) in the Spleen is appropriate and healthy. The Spleen should govern Blood, but when the Blood does not return to the Spleen it circulates improperly causing fatigue with poor appetite, palpitations, insomnia, amnesia, poor memory, irregular and/or painful menstruation.

Ginseng, White Atractylodes, Astragalus, Jujube, and Licorice are all major Spleen Qi tonics and facilitate the smooth circulation of vital energy. They support the upright energy in the body helping to keep the internal organs in place as well as strengthening the body's immune function.

Zizyphus, Longan, Poria and Polygala nurture the Heart and help to calm the Shen and are sedative. Polygala removes phlegm obstructions and opens the internal path between the Kidney and Heart. Polygala and Ginseng both strengthen the will. Dang Gui and Zizyphus tonify Heart Blood and thus have a tranquilizing effect on the organism.

White Atractylodes, Dried Ginger and Poria assist the digestive function by drying out excess dampness in the Spleen. Dried ginger is warming to the interior and improves nutrient absorption. Saussurea regulates the vital energy and facilitates the circulation of Qi in the Spleen. Saussurea thus promotes the smooth flow of digestive energy and prevents the invasion of Liver energy into the Spleen and Stomach.

Saussurea, combined with Poria and White Atractylodes, helps to warm and dry the colon helping to alleviate diarrhea associated with Spleen weakness caused by excess worry. Dang Gui and Saussureae help to regulate the peristaltic action of the Large Intestine with both herbs having an analgesic effect on pain and gas. Dang Gui and Zizyphus have a regulating effect on uterine contractions.

Jujube and Licorice help to harmonize the herbs in the formula.
