Certified Organic He Shou Wu - Large 5oz Bag of 30:1 Concentrated-Fo-ti - Organic Foti Extract- Fo ti He Shou Wu Organic-Plus Free Bamboo Spoon

He Shou Wu (or "Fo-ti") is the prepared root of Polygonum multiform, a Chinese plant. It is prepared by slicing the root shortly after harvesting and then cooking it in black bean soup (in a proportion of 10 parts He Shou Wu to 1 part black beans) until the soup is exhausted. The "prepared" roots are then dried. This process has been done in this way for around 1,500 years.

The most potent and effective form of He Shou Wu is the powdered concentrated extract. This delivery medium allows for the most active constituents to be delivered in the least space and in the most digestible form.

Purity Natural Beauty’s He Shou Wu extract has a ratio of 30:1. This ratio means that thirty or more pounds of the He Shou Wu herb have been concentrated into one pound of extract, making it extremely potent and allowing you to take full advantage of its benefits!

When it comes to He Shou Wu, typically, the older the root, the stronger the herb. The best He Shou Wu roots grown for herbal use today are at least 2-3 years old. So, at Purity Natural Beauty, we wait at least two years before picking our He Shou Wu roots! The tuber of He Shou Wu must be “prepared” in order to be used as a regularly consumed tonic herb. Unprepared He Shou Wu does not possess the tonic effects and can have unwanted side effects. Accordingly, our He Shou Wu is “prepared.”

As with any herb, quality, purity, and potency are of the utmost importance. To this end, organic herbs tend to be of the highest quality.

Purity Natural Beauty’s He Shou Wu is grown organically and is certified “organic” by EcoCert, a certification body accredited by the United States Department of Agriculture.
