Schisandra grow in most part of China. Those from northern areas of China called Northern Wu Wei Zi, and from the south-eastern of Yang Zi River named Southern Wu Wei Zi instead. They are collected in the fall time when the fruits are matured. The fruits can be used raw or processed with vinegar or honey.

Schisandra is a woody vine with numerous clusters of tiny, bright red berries. It is found throughout northern and northeast China and the adjacent regions of Russia and Korea. The fully ripe, sun-dried fruit is used medicinally. It has sour, sweet, salty, hot, and bitter tastes. This unusual combination of flavors is reflected in schisandra’s Chinese name wu-wei-zi, meaning “five taste fruit.”

Safety/Interesting Facts

Side effects involving schisandra are uncommon but may include abdominal upset, decreased appetite, and skin rash.
Some herbs are known to react with your medication. Please consult your physician before starting on any herb.

All herbs have property (warm, cold, hot or blend) and flavors (sour, bitter, salty, spicy or sweet). Mostly, herbs have one or two flavors. But very few herbs or food have all of the five flavors. Schisandra is one of these exceptions. Thus it can provide effects to various organs or systems.
