One of the core elements of our long term health is the capacity to detoxify and cleanse the body, and it is one of the key intentions that our SuperFeast community have when approaching tonic herbalism. When we think about diving into the world of detoxification and tonic herbalism, our go to herb is always Schisandra.
The detoxification action of Schizandra doesn't come with any nasty side effects and makes it possible to cleanse the body of toxins before they do any permanent or long-lasting damage. This is thanks to an upgrade in the function and vitality of the Liver system. From the perspective of the ancient herbalists, this embodied detoxification is more broadly viewed as a smooth flow of Qi through the Liver system.
Schisandra is also one of the few herbs that tones all major organ systems, entering all 12 meridians and tones all three Treasures - Jing, Qi and Shen.
How do you like to incorporate Schisandra into your diet?
