Schisandra chinensis is a woody vine in the Schisandraceae family. This vine is native to northeastern China, Russia, and Korea. As one of the 50 most important herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Schisandra chinensis is medically used as a general adaptogen, as a kidney and lung tonic, as well as for night sweats, insomnia, and physical exhaustion. Clinical studies have largely borne out the claims made about this herb. Side effects are uncommon.
Schisandra chinensis is also known as wu-wei-zi, bei wu wei zi, northern five-flavor berry, and five-taste fruit. This herb is believed to increase mental and physical performance and endurance, improve vision and hearing, and decrease eye fatigue in situations where visual focus is required for extended periods of time. It is also said to help the body to cope with cold, heat, noise, and overwhelming emotions, among others. Schisandra chinensis may be given to improve circulation and as an aphrodisiac.
Clinical studies have shown that the essential oils, acids, and lignans in Schisandra chinensis may be useful in regenerating tissue in the liver that has been damaged by cirrhosis or viral hepatitis. Further, the dibenzo-cyclo-octadiene lignans may protect against excitotoxin-induced neuronal damage in the brain. This herb has also proven effective as an anti-bacterial in certain cases of lung disease.
