He Shou Wu health benefits, effects & how to use it

Secrets of Longevity He Shou Wu

“Fo-ti” or “He shou wu” is a remedy that is vitally important to Chinese herbology. In China, it is named ‘He Shou Wu’ (or ‘Black Haired Mr. He’) after a village elder who took it and was miraculously restored to youthful vitality.

This anti-aging herb is commonly known in the west as Fo-Ti Root (or Fo-Ti-Tieng) and is a member of the buckwheat family. This western nickname was given to it in the 70's and is now its most recognized name. The latin name for the Fo-Ti root's whole plant is polygonum multiflorum. The Chinese name is He Shou Wu which roughly translates as Mr. Wu's hair stays black. This should give you an idea of the potential that fertility herbs can have on your health, especially as you supposedly "get older".
