In herbal remedies
Adaptogenic properties: Schisandra is classified as an adaptogen, which means it may help the body cope with stress and enhance its resistance to various stressors.
Liver support: It is believed to support liver health and detoxification processes.
Cognitive function: Schisandra may improve concentration, memory, and mental clarity.
Energy and endurance: Traditionally used to increase energy and stamina, potentially beneficial for athletes and active individuals.
Immune system support: Schisandra is thought to boost the body's defenses against illnesses and infections.
Anti-inflammatory: It may help manage inflammatory conditions due to its potential anti-inflammatory properties.
Stress and anxiety reduction: The adaptogenic qualities of schisandra may help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting overall emotional well-being.
In skincare
Anti-aging: Schisandra extracts may have anti-aging properties, potentially reducing the effects of aging on the skin and promoting a youthful appearance by stimulating collagen synthesis, improving elasticity, and firming the skin.
Skin conditioning: Used as a skin conditioning agent in face, neck, and hair preparations.
Antioxidant Protection: Schisandra berries are rich in antioxidants that help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
Soothing and healing: Schisandra chinensis has a calming effect on the skin, reducing redness and helping to soothe breakouts. Glycerin, itself, also helps to soothe irritation, protect the skin barrier, and promote wound healing.
Hydration: Glycerin is a humectant, which means it attracts and locks moisture into the skin, making it an excellent moisturizer.
Note: While Schisandra has a long history of use in traditional Chinese and Kampo medicine, it is important to remember that human studies on its effects are limited, and more research is needed to confirm its efficacy and potential side effects.
