The berries of the Schisandra plant have a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. Schisandra berries are prized for their unique combination of five flavors: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and pungent, which is believed to have balancing effects on the body's vital energy.
- Medicinal Use: Schisandra berries are renowned for their adaptogenic properties, meaning they help the body adapt to stress and promote overall balance and well-being. They contain bioactive compounds such as lignans, phenolic acids, and flavonoids, which contribute to their medicinal effects. Schisandra berries are traditionally used to support liver health, improve mental clarity and concentration, enhance physical endurance, and boost the immune system.
- How to Use: Schisandra berries can be consumed in various forms, including as a tea, tincture, or added to culinary dishes. To make Schisandra tea, steep 1-2 teaspoons of dried berries in hot water for about 10-15 minutes. Strain the tea and drink it up to three times a day. Schisandra tincture can be taken orally according to the manufacturer's instructions. Additionally, Schisandra berries can be incorporated into smoothies, juices, or desserts for a flavorful and nutritious boost.
