Herb A Day Campaign: Schisandra | Schisandra chinensis

Herb a day Campaign : Today's is a girl’s best friend, Schisandra. Let’s go on and toot her horn! The Chinese say Schisandra increases the elixir of life and boy are they right. Schisandra helps to lubricate the vagina. It brings moisture to the area and helps to make the tissues more supple as well. This herb is a favorite for women at any stage of life but really does benefit women in menopause. The tissues of the vaginal area get thinner and dryer as the hormones change and fluctuate. We may be able to combat this with Schisandra in our herb cabinet. As if we needed it to do anymore, these berries are amazing as an adaptogen. Adaptogens help to balance and strengthen the body systems. They also help the body to deal with stress, be it physical, emotional etc in a more positive way. It also gives many people a nice clean energy source. If you’ve never tasted a Schisandra berry you’re in for a treat. They taste, tart and sour and bitter and salty and bright all at once. Kind of like a jawbreaker candy, the flavors keep changing in your mouth □. I love this herb right here. It goes so good with female herbs like Red Clover Blossoms, Damiana and Red Raspberry. Or in stress and fatigue formulas with Ashwagandha, Eleuthera, Rhodiola and Gotu Kola. Or just pop a few and enjoy the party in your mouth as you eat them. Of course the guys can use Schisandra too. Us girls don’t get all the fun. My men can benefit from all of its other uses as well.
