Dimocarpus longan
Sweet TCM fruit that nourishes blood, calms the spirit, and tonifies the heart and spleen. Often used for insomnia and anxiety due to blood deficiency.
Longan fruit (Dimocarpus longan) is a sweet, warming herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) used to nourish heart blood, calm the spirit (shen), and tonify spleen qi. Its primary modern applications include improving sleep quality, reducing anxiety, and supporting cognitive function, attributed to active compounds such as polysaccharides, adenosine, choline, and vitamins B and C. With an evidence level of C (limited/pilot studies), it is generally considered safe but contraindicated in conditions of dampness, phlegm, or internal heat.
The sedative and anxiolytic effects of Longan fruit are primarily mediated by adenosine, which acts on adenosine A1 and A2A receptors in the central nervous system to promote sleep and reduce arousal. Polysaccharides exhibit immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities, potentially reducing neuroinflammation and oxidative stress linked to cognitive decline. Choline serves as a precursor to acetylcholine, supporting cholinergic neurotransmission and memory function. Additionally, the fruit may modulate GABAergic activity, contributing to its calming properties.
