PhoenixCare Herbal Stories

Jade Spirit Paste

Sometimes called “the ginseng substitute,” Yu Ling Gao pairs longan — which nourishes the Heart and Spleen — with American ginseng, which replenishes qi while keeping things cool. Yu, jade, speaks to its gentle richness; Ling, spirit, to its calming nature.

The Qing physician Wang Mengying recorded it in his Sui Xi Ju Yin Shi Pu as a tonic for those recovering from illness, childbirth or long depletion.

Real nourishment isn’t piling on — it’s letting energy and blood slowly find their source again.
