Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis) is a woody vine native to northeastern Asia, with small red berries that have been used in Chinese herbal traditions for about 2,000 years. Called wu wei zi, or "five-flavor fruit," the berry is said to hold all five tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and pungent. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, each flavor is associated with a different organ system, which is part of why schisandra is considered such a well-rounded herb.
