Plant description:
Schisandra chinensis : It is known as Five Flavors Fruit (WU WEI
ZI) in China. Berries (fruits) are used for therapeutic purpose. Fruits
are globose, red and of different sizes. The skin and pulp of the fruit
are sweet, sour, the kernels pungent and bitter; the whole has a salty
taste.
Eclipta alba : This plant is a common weed in
most parts of the world. It is perennial herb, erect or prostrate, 30-40
cm high. Stems are green or purple, bristly, thickened at the nodes.
Leaves are opposite, subsessile, lanceolate-oblong denticulate. Flowers

gomisin A, schizandirus and schizandrol. Extracts of the fruit have
