History of Schisandra Chinensis
Schisandra chinensis is the latin name for this traditional Chinese medicinal plant. This vine climbs deciduous woody trees. While the plant bears flowers and fruits, it is the latter that captivated Chinese herbalists. Hundreds of years ago, traditional Chinese herbalists found the schisandra berry could treat cough, asthma, and support those suffering from chronic fatigue. According to traditional lore, schisandra is “Qi-invigorating” [5]. The Chinese believed Qi was a type of life force energy. This schisandra chinensis benefit probably came from the anti-fatigue effects since researched in scientific settings.
