Schizandra: An Adaptogenic Herb

Known by many names, including Wu Wei Zi, Magnolia Vine, and O Mi Cha, Schizandra is a woody Chinese vine that produces very unique berries. In fact, the Chinese name of Schizandra, Wu Wei Zi, translates to mean “five flavor berry” because these berries are said to contain all five types of taste, including bitter, sweet, salty, sour, and spicy. The Japanese name for Schizandra is gomishi, while Koreans call these berries omija.

However, Schizandra is also one of the 50 fundamental herbs of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is used for a variety of health issues, especially liver and lung problems. For example, many users will take Schizandra for a cough. As an adaptogenic herb, Schizandra is also said to help the body resist breaking down under stress, both mental and physical.
