He Shou Wu – The Ancient Secret of Vitality and Longevity

He Shou Wu, also known as Fo-Ti, is one of the most cherished herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Regarded as a superior herb, it is traditionally considered safe and beneficial for daily consumption — a testament to its deep-rooted place in Chinese herbal wisdom.

Legend of Mr. He:
The name He Shou Wu literally translates to "Mr. He's hair is black." According to legend, Mr. He, an elderly man, experienced a remarkable revival of his youthful appearance, vitality, and black hair after consuming this revered herb regularly — a tale that has cemented He Shou Wu’s reputation as a powerful Jing herb (a core energy tonic in TCM).

Our He Shou Wu is carefully sourced from the renowned Hubei Province, an area celebrated for its medicinal plant cultivation. The roots are harvested at their peak potency — when they are around three years old — by skilled gatherers trained in determining the ideal maturity of the plant.

The dried root is traditionally prepared in a black bean soup, enhancing its potency in line with TCM practices. This preparation method results in a pleasant earthy flavour, similar to black coffee, making it easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
