This herb is the dried ripe fruit of Schisandra chinensis (Turez.) Baill. or S. Sphenanthera Rehd. Et Wils. of the family Magnoliaceae. Schisandra chinensis is widely distributed throughout northern China, Inner Mongolia, and Korea, where it is known as bei (north) wu wei zi. The latter species is abundantly distributed in central China, particulary the Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, where it is known as zhong (central) wu wei zi.
Schisandra fruit is collected in autumn and dried in the sun after removing the fruit stalks. It is used unprocessed, or mixed with vinegar or honey, steamed, and then dried. Schisandra has five distinct tastes. The skin and pulp of the fruit are sweet ad sour, the kernels are pungent and bitter, and the whole fruit is salty. This gives rise to the Chinese name "five flavor seeds." The plant is a climber and the dried fruit is a small berry, red or purple in color.
Schisandra is a tonic herb that benefits Qi and promotes the production of body fluid, with a slightly laxative effect. It also has astringent properties. Tonic, aphrodisiac, pectoral, and lenitive properties are ascribed to the plant. Schisandra fruit is an excellent adaptogenic phytomedicine and a powerful antiaging medicinal herb. In TCM, it is categorized as warm and astringent.
