Longan Fruit: Longan is a wonderful and delicious tonic fruit. It is believed among Chinese women that Longan is a great tonic for the skin. Longan has a 2000 year reputation as a love tonic. It is said that the most beautiful woman in the history of China, Yang Kuei Fei consumed Longan every day.

Schizandra Berry: Schizandra is a famous tonic historically consumed by female Chinese royalty and by Taoist yoginis. It is one of the few herbs that contains all three Treasures.
