How It's Used

In Chinese herbal practices, Schisandra fruit is valued for its broad benefits. It calms the mind, tonifies Qi, and nourishes the Kidney and Heart organ systems. It’s traditionally used for issues like insomnia, excessive sweating, and digestive imbalances caused by deficiency.

In Western herbal practices, Schisandra is recognized for its antioxidant properties and adaptogenic effects, helping the body cope with stress. It is also known for its protective benefits for the liver, brain, and heart, and it supports balanced hormone levels.

Fun Fact: Schisandra is called “the fruit of five tastes” because it uniquely contains all five main flavors: sweet, bitter, pungent, sour, and salty!
