"If you want to be initiating into tonic herbalism long term we get out of, "I've got a symptom, I take tonic herb to solve it," but rather we're trying to bring a smooth flow of Qi through all of our organs” - Mason Taylor
Tahnee and Mason discuss:
- Schizandra / schisandra as the five flavour fruit.
- Schizandra's actions on the Liver, Lung and Kidney channels.
- How harmonising your Liver Qi can aid sleep.
- The adaptogenic qualities of Schizandra.
- Schizandra as a potent sexual tonic for both men and women.
- Expressing reverence for the tonic herbs you are consuming and appreciating the lineage you get to be apart of by doing so.
- Schizandra; breast feeding and pregnancy.
- Schizandra and menopause.
