We are now a couple of weeks into our 100 days of Schizandra challenge and absolutely loving this berry! Flavour shows which organ system a herb is entering. Schizandra has all flavours and enters and brings flow to all systems, and that’s why many Daoists choose this as their favourite herb. Because it maintains this bodily flow, it is a Jing, Qi, and Shen tonic, meaning it cultivates life on all levels of our being. It’s too good not to have in your life, especially when we’re sourcing for you the most incredible schiz available, imbued with the wild that it has grown in for millennia.
Side note: some ancient herbalists contested that it could not enter into all the organs with its flavour (see the weak one above), and argued that its ability to tone and augment all organs systems was from just how effective it was as a Liver tonic, and brought a regulatory capacity to this system that then allowed toning of other organs to occur.
Either way, it is the ultimate “do all” tonic herb and it works a treat at maintaining health and vitality.
