Another key ingredient in this fabulous Lymphatic Support Tea is the bright and beautiful #Schisandra berry.
This red berry has long been used in traditional Chinese and Kampo (ancient Japanese) #medicine for #liver disorders (http://www.sciencedirect.com/…/medicine-and…/schisandra) and stomach disorders, as well as a tonic to improve #vitality.
Its Chinese name, “wu wei zi” means five-flavored fruit, to reflect the five flavours recognised in Traditional Chinese Medicine: sour, bitter, sweet, salty, and pungent.
I choose to use this wonderful adaptogenic herb because of its anti-inflammatory effect and because it’s so rich in antioxidants. ..It’s been credited with controlling blood sugar and blood pressure, stimulating the immune system and speeding post-op recovery. It’s also reported to improve energy levels and mood, as well as improving sleep. The fact that it’s been used for thousands of used in years Chinese Medicine to regulate the lymphatic system was also pretty convincing!!!
As with all herbal medicines, it’s best to consult your Dr before taking any supplements. Schisandra comes with a warning to avoid if you’re taking drugs that are substrates of cytochrome P450 1A2, 3A4, 3A5, or P-glycoprotein.
