Chinese Schizandra (Schisandra), Schisandra chinensis. Description, illustrations of the plant Lemongrass Chinese. Legends and tales
Schisandra has been known in China for its healing properties since the 15th century. And if ginseng is called the most effective and useful plant, then lemongrass is undoubtedly the second number! It also quickly restores vital energy, increases the overall tone of the body and gives vigor and strength. But, as always, there are nuances, therefore, using even natural stimulants, consult your doctor first. Lemongrass was very common in the Celestial Empire and, of course, legends were made about it. There is a rather scary and confusing story from the Southern Urals, but today we will remember the Chinese one. According to this legend, the miraculous power of lemongrass fruit was discovered by accident. Here is how it was. The bride of a young coal miner, who was burning coal in the taiga, suddenly and seriously fell ill. To save his beloved, he goes deep into the taiga in search of ginseng. After wandering for six days, the guy found the treasured root, but he no longer had the strength to go back - food supplies had long ended. Completely exhausted and entangled in the vines, he fell. And suddenly he saw clusters of bright red berries above him. With the last effort, he reached out to them and ... threw a handful into his mouth. It's risky to eat unfamiliar berries in the forest, the story could end there, but that's what it's all about. O miracle! Strength returned, the body was filled with vigor again. The guy found his way home and saved his beloved. Since then, for more than 15 centuries, Chinese medicine has been restoring vitality with the healing fruits of lemongrass. Europeans learned about lemongrass at the beginning of the 1895th century, and Russian scientists became interested in it around the same time. In XNUMX, the botanist and expert on Far Eastern plants Vladimir Leontievich Komarov published the stories of hunters that, going for a long time in the taiga, they do not take large stocks of food, but restore their strength with dried lemongrass berries. Thanks to this, they can chase sables for days without food and rest, maintaining good spirits and sharp eyes. Subsequently, preparations made from lemongrass were used during the Great Patriotic War - they were used for the rehabilitation of the wounded and given to pilots during night flights. Gathered lemongrass in the coniferous-deciduous forests of the Far East. Until now, its thickets can be found in the Primorsky and Khabarovsk Territories, the Amur Region, on Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. Lemongrass is unpretentious in care and decorative from spring to autumn. And being a liana, it perfectly solves the issue of ugly fences.
Chinese Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. Botanical description, history of origin, nutritional value, cultivation, use in cooking, medicine, industry
A woody liana or shrub with stems reaching a height of 8 m. The leaves are alternate, petiolate, fleshy, oval or pointed. The flowers are white, waxy, with a pleasant smell. The fruit is a globular berry of bright red color; seeds have a lemon smell and a specific taste. Blooms in May-June. The homeland of the plant is China. It grew on Earth in the Tertiary period. With climate change, Schisandra chinensis has survived only in East Asia and on the Atlantic coast of North America. Thickets of wild lemongrass can be found in the Far East. The plant propagates in natural conditions by seeds that are carried by birds and wild animals, and on industrial plantations - by seeds or cuttings of the vine. They are harvested in autumn or summer, rooted in special nurseries and then transplanted to a permanent place. Although Schisandra chinensis is one of the purely tropical lianas, it is the most frost-resistant crop of them, withstanding temperatures of -30 ° C. He is not afraid of either spring or autumn frosts, so he tolerates the climate of the middle latitudes well. The plant bears fruit in such conditions, the fruits ripen and produce viable seeds. Lemongrass prefers light, humus-rich soils with good drainage. The soil is prepared as for berry crops. Lemongrass does not like deep loosening. It should also be watered in moderation: with an excess of moisture, the flowers fall off. The plant does not tolerate direct sunlight, but does not bear fruit in the shade. Lemongrass sapling can be obtained from a young shoot of a plant. They choose the strongest shoot, away from the bush, cut it off with part of the rhizome and immediately plant it. Such an escape begins to bear fruit after two years, and seedlings obtained from seeds - in the fifth year. Plants need support. So that young seedlings do not freeze, they must be removed from the support in the first years for the winter and covered with leaves and needles. Schisandra berries ripen in August-September; on the bush they remain until frost. Judging by the spectrum of action on the body, lemongrass fruits contain a significant amount of sugars and organic acids (citric, malic, succinic, tartaric), vitamins C and E, and essential oil. They contain tannins and dyes, glycerides of higher fatty acids, iron, calcium, phosphorus, etc. The main substances that determine the physiological effect of Schisandra chinensis fruits, as proven in recent years, are the crystalline substances schizandrin, schizandrol and other complex organic compounds. They were isolated from lemongrass seeds. Along with them, the seeds contain valuable fatty oil enriched with vitamin E, essential oil, etc. Since time immemorial, this plant has been used in folk medicine in Korea, Japan and especially China. In ancient Chinese books, the ability of lemongrass fruits to sharpen eyesight is noted. In the Far East, hunters use lemongrass berries, stems and roots in the form of tea to prevent fatigue. In addition, when they go hunting, they take dried lemongrass berries with them: a handful of berries keeps strength and vigor, and gives greater vigilance to the eyes, you can hunt all day without eating. For a long time, Europeans did not know about the medicinal properties of lemongrass. Alcohol tincture from the seeds and fruits of lemongrass was widely used during the Great Patriotic War as a means of restoring the strength of the wounded soldiers. The property of the plant to improve eyesight also served well. Later it was found that infusions of the fruits of the plant tone up the cardiovascular system, increase blood pressure, increase breathing, and stimulate the activity of the central nervous system. The most effective in this regard were preparations from seeds and fruits, and less effective - from stems and bark.
Good results are obtained by the use of seeds in chronic gastritis: the secretory function of the stomach is normalized. Their effectiveness is great: even 2 g of powdered seeds is enough to lower the acidity of gastric juice. With gastritis with low acidity, the best results are obtained using lemongrass juice. In psychiatric practice, lemongrass is used as a stimulant. Produced tincture of lemongrass should be used as directed by a doctor. The Russian name "lemonnik" is associated with a lemon smell, which, when rubbed, releases leaves and other parts of the plant. In ancient times, the Chinese called it "a fruit that has five tastes": the skin and pulp of the fruits are sour and sweet, the seeds are bitter and astringent, and the fruit as a whole, if chewed, has a salty taste. Fresh berries of Chinese magnolia vine are not consumed. Juice from berries with double the amount of sugar is stored for a long time; when added to tea or water, a refreshing, thirst-quenching drink is obtained. Jam, jam, jam, compote, jelly are cooked from berries. Various drinks are made from dried leaves and stems, including aromatic tea of golden color. The dark red juice of lemongrass is used in the production of sweets, soft drinks. Recently, Schisandra chinensis has been widely used as an ornamental plant. In the gazebo, braided with lemongrass, it will be cool even on the hottest day, and the hedge from it is beautiful both in early summer, when the vine is covered with white fragrant flowers, and in autumn, when clusters of purple-red berries ripen.

Chinese Schisandra (Schisandra), Schisandra chinensis. Botanical description of the plant, area, methods of application, cultivation
Schizandra got its name for the pleasant lemon smell of all parts of the plant, especially the bark, in which the concentration of essential oils is the highest. Deciduous woody liana up to 10-15 m long, in the northern regions rarely exceeds 4 m. Branches up to 2 cm in diameter, curling clockwise on a support, are covered with wrinkled, flaky, dark brown bark. Young shoots with smooth yellowish bark. The leaves are elliptical or obovate, 5-10 long and 3-5 cm wide. They have a wedge-shaped base and a pointed apex, indistinctly serrated along the edge, slightly fleshy, bare above, dark green, pale below, with slight pubescence along the veins. Petioles pinkish-red, 2-3 cm long. Both leaves and stems emit a lemon scent. Schisandra chinensis is a monoecious plant, the flowers are dioecious. However, in some years only male flowers can be on the vine. The flowers are up to 1,5 cm in diameter, with a distinct aroma, white, but turn pink by the end of the flowering period. The flowers sit at the base of one-year-old twigs, located 3-5 at the leaf axil on independent drooping pedicels 1-4 cm long. Perianth of 6-9 lobes, of which the outer ones are drooping, the inner ones are converging, oval-oblong, obtuse, usually narrower than the outer ones. Anther column is three times shorter than the perianth. Carpels are numerous, rounded, with a short nose. Flowering period - May-June, flowering lasts 10-14 days. It is pollinated by insects, including bees that collect nectar and pollen. Resumes mainly vegetatively - offspring from the roots, rooting vines in contact with the soil. Renewal by seeds is less common. At the end of flowering, the receptacle grows, from one flower a racemose team of polyberries up to 10 cm long, planted with juicy red berries, is formed. This type of fruit is called a juicy multileaf. Seeds freed from the pericarp are round-reniform, on the concave side with a noticeable dark gray scar located across the seed. Length 3-5 mm, width 2-4,5 mm, thickness 1,5-2,5 mm. The surface is smooth, shiny, yellowish-brown in color. Seeds consist of a hard, brittle skin and a dense kernel, which may be absent in underdeveloped seeds. The peel breaks easily and freely lags behind the core. The core is horseshoe-shaped, waxy-yellow, one end is cone-shaped, pointed, the other is rounded. A light brown groove runs on the convex side of the seed nucleus. The bulk of the seed nucleus is the endosperm. At the pointed end of the apex (in the endosperm) lies a small embryo, visible under a magnifying glass. The smell when rubbed is strong, specific. Taste - spicy, bitter-burning. Lemongrass fruits ripen in September. Partially remain hanging in the winter. In the northern regions of the range, it almost does not bear fruit. Fairly frost resistant. The natural range of lemongrass is China, Japan, Korea, Primorsky and Khabarovsk Territories, Amur Region, Sakhalin (not higher than 51 ° N), Kuriles (Shikotan, Kunashir, Iturup). Thanks to its unique medicinal and flavoring properties, Schisandra chinensis quickly gained popularity and can often be found in garden plots far beyond the natural distribution area. Fruits eaten by birds can be carried to natural communities. Recently, industrial plantations for the cultivation of magnolia vine for the needs of the pharmaceutical industry have been created in many countries of the world, which also increases the chances of dispersal of magnolia vine outside its natural range. Under natural conditions, it grows in cedar-broad-leaved and other coniferous-deciduous, sometimes in deciduous forests, usually in clearings, edges, clearings and old burned areas, more often in narrow valleys of mountain rivers and streams. Grows in groups, forms thickets. It does not occur in floodplains with prolonged flooding or prolonged waterlogging of the soil. In the mountains it rises up to 600 m above sea level. Photophilous, but at an early age withstands strong and prolonged shading. It can grow on poor podzolized loams and sandy loamy floodplain soils. Drained soils in the valleys of small mountain rivers and streams are optimal for growth and fruiting.
Schizandra fruits contain sugars (up to 1,5%), organic acids (8,5-20) - mainly citric (up to 11), malic (7-8), tartaric (0,8%); vitamins - ascorbic acid, thiamine, riboflavin. Tonic substances (about 0,012% schizandrin and schizandrol), tocopherol (0,03) and fatty oil (up to 34%) were found in the seeds. All parts of the plant, but most of all in the bark (up to 2,6-3,2%), contain essential oil, which is highly valued in perfumery for its delicate spicy-lemon aroma. The essential oil from the bark is a clear golden yellow liquid with a lemon scent. The composition of the essential oil includes sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (up to 30%), aldehydes and ketones (up to 20%). Fatty oil includes alpha-linoleic (up to 20%), beta-linoleic (up to 35), oleic (up to 34) and about 4% saturated acids. Schisandra chinensis is widely used as a food plant. Schisandra berries can be eaten fresh and dried, jelly, jam, soft drinks are prepared from the berries, in the confectionery industry - filling for sweets (for example, Korean hangwa). The juice is also used to bouquet wines. Lemongrass leaves are also used in cooking. Due to the presence of essential oil from the leaves and bark, an excellent substitute for tea is obtained. This drink has a delicate lemon aroma, original taste and has tonic and antiscorbutic properties. In Korea, this tea is very popular and is called omija hwachae. Schisandra chinensis berries are used to make drinks. You can prepare a semi-finished product by canning juice squeezed from berries, or whole fruits. Drinks made from lemongrass have all the medicinal properties of the fruit and are highly biologically active. Therefore, even drinks should be considered as a remedy and take into account the main contraindications related to treatment with lemongrass preparations. Schisandra berries do not lose their properties when dried. Drying of fruits is carried out first at a temperature of about 40 ° C, followed by final drying in an oven at 60 ° C. Raising the temperature above this is not recommended, since already at 90 ° C schizandrin is destroyed and the medicinal properties of the fruit are lost. The easiest way to propagate lemongrass is vegetatively - green cuttings, layering, shoots. The tops of young shoots are cut into cuttings in early July. The bases of the cuttings are immersed in a solution of heteroauxin for 12-24 hours. Then they are planted in a nursery with coarse river sand under a film. Layers of lemongrass are obtained from strong annual vines formed from rhizome shoots. In April, before the buds open, they are laid on loose soil, pinned and sprinkled with soil mixed with humus or peat (a layer 10-15 cm thick). The top of the laid shoot is tied to a trellis. The roots of the layers appear on the 4-5th month. Within 2-3 years, an independent, well-developed root system is formed. Layers are separated from the mother plant and planted in a permanent place. Schizandra rhizomatous offspring are separated from mother plants in April - early May. To do this, dig out 2-4 branches of overgrowth growing nearby, but far enough from an adult plant. The offspring are immediately planted in a permanent place. Their roots cannot stand even short-term drying. During the month, planted offspring are regularly watered and shaded from direct sunlight. The best landing time is the end of April - the beginning of May. For planting, choose a well-lit (within 6-8 hours) and protected from the cold place. Warmth and sun contribute to the laying of a significant number of fruit-bearing shoots. After planting, the plants are shaded for 2-3 weeks. It is best to grow lemongrass on a trellis about 2 m high. When planting plants at a distance of 1 m from each other, they close in the 3rd-4th year, forming a solid wall. Schizandra rhizome of stem origin. It has many dormant buds. Awakening, they form a shoot. The depth of the roots is from 5 to 15 cm, i.e. they are located in the surface loose and fertile soil layer. Lemongrass prefers well-drained, light, neutral to slightly acidic soils. It does not tolerate overdrying, so the root space of the vines is mulched every year. On heavy soils, it is recommended to add 10-12 kg of sand per hole (60 x 60 cm and up to 50 cm deep) to planting pits. A drainage layer of gravel, crushed stone and coarse sand is laid at the bottom of the pit. As a nutrient soil during planting, 15-20 kg of rotted compost, composed of leaf humus with horse manure, is used. Organics are applied 2-3 times per season and watered. At the end of April, a complex mineral fertilizer is applied annually. In early September, phosphorus-potassium fertilizer is given with simultaneous shallow loosening of the soil. At the same time, lemongrass is a frost-resistant plant; in severe frosts, only the tops of annual growths freeze slightly. Prune lemongrass in summer or autumn. Spring pruning causes the "weeping" of the shoots and their withering. To prevent lemongrass from becoming infected with fungal diseases, it is necessary to carefully remove the fallen leaves from under the plants, and at the end of April, spray the vines with Bordeaux liquid.

The dried fruits of the plant are invariably included in the diet of hunters - Udege and Nanais. A handful of fruits can replace food and keep you strong for a whole day of hunting. Schisandra was described as a medicinal plant in the first Chinese pharmacopoeia in 250 BC. e. under the name "wu-wei-tzu", which means "fruit with five tastes" (the shell of the fruit is sweet, the pulp is sour, the seeds are bitter and astringent, and the medicinal potion from the seeds acquires a salty taste during storage). Fruit juice contains sugars (up to 1,5%), organic acids (from 8,5 to 20% - mainly citric, malic, tartaric), vitamin C.

Enhance the effect of psychostimulants and analeptics (including caffeine, camphor, phenamine). Application in medicine. The fruit of Schisandra chinensis (lat. Fructus Schisandrae) and seed (Semen Schisandrae) are used as medicinal raw materials. Mature fruits are harvested from September until frost. To obtain seeds, the juice is squeezed out of the fruit, and after the fermentation of the cake, the seeds are separated from the pericarp with a stream of water. The washed seeds are dried in the sun or in dryers at a temperature of 50-60 ° C. Dry berries retain up to 0,6% ascorbic acid and schizandrin, have an aromatic smell and a spicy, bittersweet taste. Fruits and seeds are used as a medicine that has an adaptogenic, general tonic and psychostimulant effect. The tonic effect of the fruit is determined by schizandrin, which increases the excitability of the central nervous system and stimulates the work of the heart and respiratory apparatus. It increases blood pressure, enhances the processes of excitation in the structures of the brain and reflex activity, increases efficiency and reduces fatigue during physical and mental stress. According to the ATC classification, it belongs to general tonic drugs (group A13A). Schisandra chinensis preparations are indicated for asthenic syndrome, vegetovascular dystonia of the hypotonic type, during the period of convalescence after somatic and infectious diseases. Lemongrass is also prescribed for overwork, decreased performance and when engaging in activities associated with great neuropsychic and physical stress. As part of complex therapy, it is used for violations of sexual function against the background of neurasthenia. As a side effect when using lemongrass, allergic reactions, tachycardia, sleep disturbances, headache, and increased blood pressure are mentioned. In this regard, these drugs are contraindicated in cardiac disorders, arterial hypertension, irritability, epilepsy, sleep disorders, acute infectious diseases, chronic liver diseases, hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, during pregnancy and lactation, as well as children under 12 years old. In order to avoid disturbing falling asleep, it is not recommended to take alcohol tincture in the afternoon. If side effects occur, the drug should be discontinued. Other uses. Lemongrass successfully grows on rubble-stony places (if there is fertile and sufficiently moist soil between the stones), therefore it is suitable for covering cliffs, wastelands, quarries, ruins, bare banks of reservoirs.
