Schisandra is one of the most revered herbs in the Taoist system, celebrated for its capacity to harmonise the flow of Qi through all five major systems of the human body. Particularly valued for its affinity with the Kidney and Liver systems, this highly adaptive tonic nourishes the nervous system, enhances brain function, elevates immunity, and supports overall vitality, helping the body to maintain youthfulness in both appearance and physiology.

In folk herbalism, it is said that when taken for 100 consecutive days, schisandra purifies the Blood, sharpens the mind, improves memory, replenishes Kidney Essence (Jing), and strengthens reproductive function in both men and women. It is also recognised for supporting Lung Qi and helping to harmonise respiratory imbalances.

In China, schisandra is known as wu wei zi, the "five flavour fruit", named for its remarkable profile that embodies all five tastes: salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and pungent. Each flavour corresponds to a major organ system, giving schisandra the unique ability to influence the Liver, Lungs, Kidneys, Heart, and Spleen. This all-encompassing action is why schisandra is considered one of Taoism's ultimate herbs, able to regulate the entire system while protecting the Three Treasures of the body: Jing, Qi, and Shen.

Historically, schisandra was regarded as a 'beauty berry' of the Orient. Ancient Chinese royalty consumed it to preserve youthfulness, enhance radiance, heighten desire, and nourish reproductive vitality. Known for its capacity to regenerate Kidney Water Qi, schisandra helps to build primary essence, rejuvenate sexual fluids, and restore the body's natural glow, making it a powerful ally for graceful ageing and inner vitality.
