Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis), famously known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Wu Wei Zi, is a woody, fruit-bearing vine revered for its powerful adaptogenic and restorative properties.
The name Wu Wei Zi translates directly to "Five-Flavor Fruit" because its sun-dried red berries uniquely contain all five primary tastes recognized in TCM: sour, bitter, sweet, salty, and pungent.
