Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis ) is an aromatic woody vine that is native to northern and northeastern China.

Schisandra fruit is called Bumblimass in Tamil.

Schisandra should not be used during pregnancy or in patients who are having trouble urinating.

Schisandra's dried fruit is used, and the herb is prepared in the form of powder, tincture (an alcoholic extract), and wine.

Research has shown that schisandra has adaptogenic properties, which means that it helps the body to fight disease and adapt to stresses from physical, mental, chemical, and environmental sources.
