SCHIZANDRA (Schisandra chinensis)
Schizandra is treasured in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is becoming increasingly popular in Western herbalism where it is known as hepatoprotective, useful for acute or chronic liver disease, chemical liver damage, poor liver function and improving the detoxifying ability of the liver. It is also used as an antioxidant, adaptogen, nervine tonic and mild antidepressant helpful for improving mental and physical performance, endurance and adaptation to stress. It is used for chronic cough and asthma due to its antitussive effects and can be used to assist childbirth due to its oxytocic effects.
Traditional Use:
Schizandra has been used and revered in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. The ancient Chinese classified the herb in many ways - as a stimulant, tonic, antiseptic, relaxant and astringent. Schizandra has traditionally been used to treat a wide range of different ailments including coughs, fatigue, impotence, memory loss and nervous complaints. It has perhaps been most acclaimed for promoting longevity and increasing physical and mental stamina. Schizandra’s Chinese pin yin name ‘Wu Wei Zi’ translates to five taste fruit, giving it a special place in TCM due to the importance of the relationship between taste and herbal action. In herbal TCM theory this means that schizandra contains the qualities and benefits of all five flavours pungent, salty, sour, bitter and sweet.

Traditional Use:
Dandelion root has also been used for centuries to support the health of people with cancer. For such a ubiquitous herb, well-designed human studies are surprisingly rare.

Meadowsweet is one of the best digestive remedies available especially as an antacid for heartburn.

It has also been administered as a diuretic to increase urine output in people with kidney or bladder infections.
Each batch of Guèrison’s Meadowsweet liquid extract is tested to ensure there isn’t more than 10ppm of methyl salicylate (the legal limit).
Traditional Use:
Modern-day aspirin owes its origins to the salicin content isolated from meadowsweet in the early 1800s. In fact the name aspirin relates to this herb's former genus name Spiracea. The name meadowsweet would appear to accurately describe the plant, given the sweet scented frothy white flowers and its favoured growing locations, but the name is in fact a corruption of the old medieval name ‘meadesweet’, stemming from the days when the plant was added as a flavouring agent during the brewing of mead. The flowers are still used today to add flavour to some summer ales. It is also described in old European herbals including those of John Gerard (The Herball, 1597) and Nicholas Culpeper (The English Physician, 1652)
Actions:
Anti-inflammatory, antacid, urinary antiseptic, astringent. diaphoretic, diuretic, stomachic
