Ho Shou Wu

Name: Ho Shou Wu

Other Names: Polygonum Multiflorum Root, Fo Ti

Description: He Shou Wu, also known as Polygonum Multiflorum Root, or Fo-Ti, is a favored rejuvenating tonic in both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. It is used to increase and maintain energy and vigor, is beneficial to the musculoskeletal system and is used for aging - especially graying hair.

According to traditional Chinese medical theory, the yin (body fluids) and yang (fire of life) forces of the body must exist in harmony and balance, or negative health effects may arise. In the event of a yin or yang deficiency, the body may utilize precious vital energy in an attempt to overcome the imbalance. This use of energy, in turn, may bring about a qi deficiency, which affects the body's ability to age gracefully.

He shou wu herb (Polygonum multiflorum root) roughly translates into "Black hair Mr. He", since many Chinese have used this ancient herb to relieve body stress associated with normal aging and graying of hair. He Shou Wu is taken by mature Chinese men and women to revitalize the body and compensate for common qi imbalances associated with aging. This unique Chinese herbal formula tonifies qi, nourishes hair, relieves stress and helps make you look and feel younger. He Shou Wu is recommended for long-term use to optimize hair and body nourishment in qi deficient individuals
