Mr. He was right!
The legend of old man Mr. He tells us he used this herb to improve his vitality and turn his hair back to its original color amognst other things.
Well after using these prepared dark colored potato chips I have noticed a deep restoration of my yin jing and even some grays are going away!
I'm young but due to major stress I started noticing gray hairs and decided I needed to really remineralize and restore. He Shou Wu really lives up to its reputation.
These He Shou Wu chips are easy to work with and arrive promptly in excelent condition! Highly reccomended to anyone over thrity for longevity.

good product
I bought this for my husband and it came quickly and in good condition. It didn't look quite like it was pictured on the website but works well brewed as tea and is good quality.

Great Help
I ordered this product. I am pleased with this product. Hu Shou Wu. I bought from a Chinese import store in Dallas, TX. When I moved to Lubbock they did not have a Chinese community. I did not know what to do. I searched tediously for a good company that had this product. Found it at ActiveHerb. I am pleased with the prompt service, detail on shipping & quality of herb.

Fo Ti Root
This was my first time using Fo Ti Root and I learned that I had to decoct the roots in order to get the benefit. After using it for 2 weeks everyday I can see some wonderful changes in my hair. Thank you

Bang for Buck
Great way to make a good brew. I bought this as I can drink tea or also follow someone's advise of using the tea as a shampoo ... in hopes of helping the grays. I don't know if it really does, but I like the idea. Plus I like the earthy tea.

Real Fo-ti!
This is real Fo-ti, the actual root. I like that with this one, you can boil it and drink it as tea everyday. I don't know if it will be more potent but I would hope so. I am right now taking the Fo-ti hair and want to try this as well. I think it will have great effect on my hair and body since this is soo pure.

Product Q&A
Does the root slice completely break down in the tea or drink you’ve prepared?
No. It does not. Thank you.
Date published: 2021-08-26
Hi, I want to know if this is prepared according to CTM methods, since I have read reports that this herb even when prepared might cause liver damage.
Hi, Thanks for the question. Yes, the bulk herb is properly cooked according to the Chinese medicine tradition to reduce the potential toxicity.

Is this a powder?
Hi, Thanks for the question. No, this is not a powder. It is a root slice as shown by the picture. We also carry the extract granule form of the herb. See related product section above.
