Description
One of Schizandra key elements is its adaptogenic nature. Adaptogens are herbs that directly target the endocrine system, encompassing the infamous HPA axis, Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal axis, along with the sympatho-adrenal system (our fight or flight response). In other words, its a masterful herb that protects and helps cope against many types of stress. Adaptogens also are said to target our hormonal and limbic system, which directly influences our mood, emotional body, perception and more.*Schizandra berries are called the 'quintessence of tonic herbs' by Taoist masters. Schizandra also circulates in the 'extraordinary channels' and facilitates the three Actives 'dan tian' (energy centers of the body). Schizandra promotes the beauty and functionality of the skin, benefits the mind, and detoxifies the liver without causing re-toxification when the toxins are eliminated from the body. It is a profound adaptogen and Shen tonic.*
