POLYGONUM MULTIFLORI -( Fleeceflower root, Fo Ti , He Shou Wu)
Legendary anti-aging herb
Long ago, grandfather Mr. He became lost in the forest. Years later, those who found him were astonished. His hair had turned from white to black. To stay alive, the old man lived on the root of this plant we call Polygoni Multiflori. Today, the plant bears his name, He Shou Wu (Black haired Mr. He). Modern day doctors of Oriental medicine use this herb to strengthen the Blood and the Jing to regulate aging.
