Schizandra - Improve Strength & Stamina

Schizandra chinensis, also known as Schisandra (with an "s"in the middle), is widely used in China as it is one of the 50 fundamental herbs of Chinese herbology.
 
In China, it is called “wu wei zi”, which means "five flavor berry" because of its five tastes - salty, sweet, sour, hot and bitter.

This herb is also an adaptogen because its therapeutic properties adapt to conditions within your body.

So for example, if you have a hyper-functioning system within your body, schizandra tones it down.

If you have a hypofunctioning system, the herb strengthens the activity of the system.

Adaptogenic herbs are great for boosting the body's resistance to stress, anxiety and tiredness.
