Schizandra
What is it?
Schizandra is an herb derived from a berry that has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years.
What does it do?
Traditional Chinese medicine characterizes schizandra as an "adaptogenic" herb. The term "adaptogenic" refers to an herb that "usually has a normalizing action irrespective of the direction of the pathological state." In other words, it doesn't matter whether you're too sleepy or too nervous; either way, schizandra will redirect you from an extreme to an ideal, balanced state. Schizandra is also a powerful antioxidant.
Why is it important?
Being in a balanced state removes stress from the body and helps it to function more efficiently. Also, antioxidants are vital to getting rid of free radicals in our body.
Where can it be found?
The schizandra herb is derived from a berry. It can be found in many nutritional supplements. In China, it is often made into a tonic or added to tea.
