Schisandra
contains essential oils, acids and lignans which can, for example, help to regenerate liver tissue damaged by alcohol abuse or by hepatitis. One identified group of active ingredients is dibenzo-cyclo-octadiene lignans (1), which appear to possess therapeutic potential against oxidative neuronal damage induced by excitotoxins in the brain.
The herb's adaptogenic action may help improve physical and mental performance, relieve fatigue and build strength. Studies have shown that schisandra is effective against the bacteria connected with lung disorders. This herb promotes oxygen-supply for the cells, potentiates the body's immune system, and protects against stress. Probably thanks in part to its beneficial effects on blood-circulation, it is also said to improve sexual performance, both increasing the man's staying power and stimulating sensitivity in the female genitals.
Main properties of schisandra chinensis
*Increases physical and mental performance
*Increases acuity of vision and hearing
*Decreases eye fatigue in tasks requiring extended visual concentration
*Improves concentration and attention
*Increases physical and mental performance
*Restores strength after severe and prolonged exertion, and in convalescence from disease
*Strengthens muscular and speed abilities in sport exercises
*Helps the body withstand such stress factors as heat, cold, noise, emotional overloads, etc.
*Is successfully used in integrated programs for the treatment of gastrointestinal and communicable diseases, and some mental conditions
Modern Chinese research suggests that the lignans found in schisandra help regenerate liver tissue damaged by harmful influences such as viral hepatitis and alcohol. Lignans have been found to lower blood levels of serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), a marker for infective hepatitis and other liver disorders. High efficacy of schisandra chinensis has been observed in diseases of the gastrointestinal organs (gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcer), and in certain communicable diseases, as well as in some mental conditions.
Uses in daily life, for particular professions
Of particular interest are studies showing the beneficial effects of schisandra chinensis on healthy subjects. Administration of schisandra chinensis to road-transport drivers, aircraft pilots, seamen, and athletes has been found to permit them to maintain a high level of physical performance in stressful conditions. It has been proven to result in increased attention, improved endurance, and rapid recovery of strength following exertion.
