They are not only health-preserving fruits for fitness and beauty but can also be used to treat conditions such as insufficient body fluids after illness, kidney deficiency-induced nocturnal emission, spleen deficiency-induced diarrhea, forgetfulness, and insomnia. Modern medical research has found that lychees can improve digestive function and promote human blood circulation, thus having a moisturizing and beautifying effect on the skin; they can also enhance sexual function and are used to treat symptoms like nocturnal emission, impotence, premature ejaculation, and coldness in the genitals. Additionally, they can improve anemia and kidney yang deficiency-related symptoms such as soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, insomnia, and forgetfulness.
