Known as the quintessence of Chinese tonic Herbalism, Schizandra, also known as ‘Wu Wei Zi’ (’Five Flavour Fruit’), has been highly revered since the dawn of Chinese civilization for its amazing ability to develop and protect the primary energies of life. Containing the essence (flavours) of all five elemental energies (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), Schizandra acts to deeply nurture these elements along with all of the ‘Three Treasures.’ Schizandra enters all 12 Meridians helping benefit all organs of the body - a rare feat - earning its place as one of the top Superior Super tonic herbs. One of the premiere tonic herbs for the ‘mind’ with a ‘Shen stabilizing’ activity, Schizandra brings balance and calmness to the nervous system while enhancing the ability to concentrate and focus. Traditionally Schizandra has also been shown to clear and beautify the skin, strengthen and protect the Liver (Phase I & II Detoxification), nurture the Kidneys and restore sexual depletion while tonifying the body. Our American grown Schizandra comes from some of the finest highly mineralized nutrient rich soil in the World.
