Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis): A “Jack of all trades” type of herb, Schisandra is the ideal companion to have on hand if you can only have one. Often referred to as the Five Flavor Berry (sweet, sour, bitter, salty and pungent), each flavor corresponds to a unique action in the body. It is calming, healing, restoring and has an affinity for nourishing the kidneys, liver, lungs, heart, nerves, skin, brain and stomach (see what I mean?). It strengthens and tones many organs throughout the body and can also act very specifically from combating headaches to tending a cough. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Schisandra is also known as “the beauty berry” because of its highly antioxidant, skin protective and detoxifying properties.
Herbal actions: Tonic, Nervine, hepatoprotectant, adaptogenic, antioxidant, immune tonic, nervine, sedative
