Spleen (Head To Toe Targeting)

Schisandra a Three Treasure tonic herb that was historically consumed by the Royal families of China. It is renowned for its ability to nurture beautiful, soft, and radiant skin. It is a powerful brain and memory tonic. As a sexual tonic, it increases fluids and sensitivity in woman, and has an astringing quality for male endurance. The Chinese name for Schisandra is "wu wei zi" which translates as "five flavored seed." The significance of this has to do with the therapeutic range of this herb. Its sourness and saltiness enter the liver and also enriches the Yin of the Kidneys. The bitter and acrid flavors enter the Heart and tonify the Lungs. Finally, the sweet flavor enter the Spleen and augments its energy. So, this incredible herb is able to tonify the Yin of all five Yin organs of the body. The more pronounced flavor of Schisandra is sour, and as such, its ability to stabilize the astringe the primal Qi of the Kidneys is more pronounced. It also is a powerful Liver tonic and helps to keep the Liver's detoxifying function running smoothly. Schisandra also has a long history of use as a beauty tonic. The Lungs are in charge of dispersing fluids to nourish the skin, and in its capacity of tonifying the Yin of the Lungs, Schisandra also enhances the Lungs' function of nourishing the skin to keep it hydrated. If there is a deficiency of Yin and Blood in teh body, a person may experience what we commonly call a "Shen disturbance." These may manifest as palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, nightmares, and a general feeling of unease. One of Schisandra's many functions is that of calming the Shen and soothing the Heart.

Its primary uses have been focused around beauty and sex, pictured in ancient art as a symbol of longevity and immortality. Benefits! Exalted as one of the most powerful “youth tonics” of all time, Schizandra has held true to its reputation, rejuvenating skin, helping to maintain its moisture while also protecting it from environmental and external stress. With usage overtime, it has also been utilized to reduce and protect from wrinkles. The powerful astringent properties of Schizandra Berry make it one of he most transformational beauty supplements of all time. Schizandra enhances sex drive in both men and women, for men improving sexual function and endurance, and in woman, increasing water qi from the kidney (and other areas) while counter-acting vaginal discharge. As Schizandra also has been said to be a powerful aphrodisiac, this herb can be very complimentary to intimate relationships. Inside and Out Beyond the surface, Schizandra can be used to aid and balance internal fuctions. It strengthens your respiratory system and purifies your blood, as it increases circulation. Schizandra opens up the airways, allowing all this purified blood and oxygen travel throughout each of your organs. Naturally, this increased oxygen flow runs straight into your brain, making Schizandra an extremely effective mind tonic, increasing alertness without a stimulant effect- a wakeful focus. While also known to have a calming effect, you are able to experience best of both worlds. Also a tenacious anti-oxidant, schizandra’s cleansing and liver-tonifying properties rank with Reishi. In addition, schizandra can be used to balance your nervous system, refine coordination, improve memory, enhance vision, increase sensitivity and strengthen endurance. Schizandra and Mind Power Schizandra is one of the major herbs almost always used in Chinese mind tonic formulations. It has traditionally been used to treat mental and emotional illness, improve mental clarity, concentration, and coordination, reduce forgetfulness, irritability, nervous exhaustion, stress, depression, and anxiety.   Phase 1 and 2 Liver Detoxification For a substance to effectively cleanse the liver, two phases must be initiated and completed for the body to completely rid itself of any toxin or undesirable elements. Phase 1 – A substance goes into the body and binds with a toxin, releasing the toxin from the liver into the blood stream. This poses a problem however, because the toxin that is released is almost always more toxic as it is bio-activated and has the ability to reabsorb into the body. It is like tearing down a wall in your house to remove toxic mold and leaving the debris on the floor. If you don’t remove it from your house you will keep being exposed to the mold and reabsorbing it. Re-exposure to old toxins in their new bio-activated form can make you sick. Much of this material will end up back in the liver again, or stored in other tissues. Phase 2 - Which is often times missed in cleansing protocols, is where the bio-activated toxin is safely removed from the body. If phase 2 is absent, then all we are really doing is poisoning ourselves. There are many substances that go into the liver that release bio-activated toxins. What people often term as a “healing crisis” is often these bio-activated toxins being released and doing damage in the body. Schizandra has been demonstrated to be effective in activating all of ones phase 1 and phase 2 liver detoxification enzymes safely and efficiently. You can take schizandra on a daily basis and never throw yourself into a healing crisis, yet, you will gently cleanse your liver. This is a great way for us to detox our liver from the thousands of chemicals present in the environment we are exposed to on a daily basis and receive a whole host of other benefits at the same time.
