Health Benefits:

In China, lychee is regarded as “gift for a joyful life.” The famous poet Su Shi of the Song Dynasty once exclaimed that he would like to stay in Lingnan and eat 300 lychees each day. Today lychees are commonly sold fresh in many Chinese markets, and can be found in supermarkets worldwide.

According to Diannan Ben Cao, “Lychees are helpful to nourish blood and tranquilize mind, increase appetite and invigorate spleen, and constrain sweat.” In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the lychee, much like the longan, is considered a “warm” fruit, so eating too many lychees will cause excessive internal heat.

Lychees are an old folk remedy for cough, cold, fever and sore throat. They can be decocted to invigorate strength, supplement blood, and prevent anemia. Dried lychees taste somewhat like raisins, and the Chinese use grated lychees as a sweetener in tea, a good choice for maintaining a beautiful complexion.

What’s more, lychee seeds can be used to lessen the pain of nerve inflammations.
