Legend has it that famine struck the village of a man named Mr. He. While most people left to find food and temporary work,
Mr. He was too sick to leave.
He gathered and ate wild plants and roots to keep from starving. One of those was the bitter fo-ti root,
which the villagers hadn’t previously eaten. Gradually, Mr. He regained his health. His complexion brightened. He fathered a son.
And his greying hair turned black again. Ever since then Fo-Ti has been called
He Shou Wu, which translated means "black haired Mr He". Then there was Chung Yun, a famous Chinese herbalist who reportedly lived
to be 256 years old, used Fo ti on a daily basis. This herb is thought to have been responsible for both his long life and his
legendary sexual prowess, (he was said to have had 24 wives and over 100 children).
Thankfully, these days we have more to go on than just folk legends. Modern research indicates that this herb contains an alkaloid
that has rejuvenating effects on the nerves, brain cells and endocrine glands. It stimulates a portion of the adrenal gland and helps
to detoxify the body. Hair health, energy and vigour are the products of this rejuvenation.
