Contains the leakage of Lung qi and stops coughs: for chronic cough and wheezing due to Lung deficiency, or patterns of Lung and Kidney deficiency. It inhibits the leakage of Lung qi above, enriches the Kidney yin below, and also stops coughs. It is thus an important and effective herb for treating chronic coughs.* Tonifies the Kidneys, binds up the essence, and stops diarrhea: for nocturnal emissions, spermatorrhea, vaginal discharge, and urinary frequency due to Kidney deficiency. Also used for daybreak diarrhea associated with Spleen and Kidney deficiency.* Inhibits sweating and generates fluids: for excessive sweating, especially when accompanied by thirst or a dry throat. With other appropriate herbs, it is variously used for spontaneous sweating, nightsweats, or even wasting and thirst disorder.* Quiets the spirit while calming and containing the Heart qi: for irritability, palpitations, dream-disturbed sleep, and insomnia due to injury to the blood and yin of the Heart and Kidneys or lack of communication between these two organs. Nowadays commonly used for various types of insomnia.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Schisandra chinensis\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChinese Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wu Wei Zi\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1lb\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePotency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:1\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sour, sweet - Bensky\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProperties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm - Bensky\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannels Entered:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heart, Kidney, Lung - Bensky\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nourishes the Kidneys, stops diarrhea, nourishes the Liver, quiets the spirit, generates fluids - Bensky\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lung deficiency, Lung and Kidney deficiency, Kidney deficiency, Injury to the blood and yin of the Heart and Kidneys, Lack of communication between the Heart and Kidneys - Bensky\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChinese Symptomology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chronic cough and wheezing due to Lung deficiency; diarrhea, nocturnal emissions, spermatorrhea, vaginal discharge, urinary frequency, daybreak diarrhea; excessive sweating; irritability, palpitations, dream-disturbed sleep, insomnia.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMateria Medica:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stabilize \u0026amp; Bind\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContraindications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contraindicated where an exterior disorder has not been cleared, or there is heat from excess in the interior, or in the early stages of a cough or rash. - Bensky\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Golden Needle Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471608266908,"sku":"HERB1465","price":65.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/2407\/0044\/files\/organic-schisandra-berries-wu-wei-zi.jpg?v=1787698248","url":"https:\/\/primenaturalfoods.com\/products\/schisandra-berries-wu-wei-zi-organic-1lb","provider":"Prime Natural Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
