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.

Nutritional Benefits:

Naturally rich in iron, supporting energy levels and blood health.
Contains zinc, essential for immune function and skin health.
Provides antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
Traditionally valued as a powerful Jing herb, supporting foundational energy and vitality.

Our He Shou Wu is trusted by Chinese TCM pharmacy chains, with producers boasting over two decades of expertise and a reputation for exceptional quality.

About He Shou Wu Powder

He Shou Wu is also known as Foti root, Fo-ti-teng, or Ho Shou Wu.. He Shou Wu is an ancient Chinese herb, and like Reishi, is classed as a Superior Tonic Herb in Chinese medicine.

Mention of He Shou Wu can be found in the Chinese medical treatise dating to 713 AD, though it is not the earliest tonic herb listed in the Chinese herbal lore, its wide and prevalent use today has certainly made it one of the better known herbs.

Millions of men and women make use of He Shou Wu in the Far East.

The name of this herb literally means "Black-haired Mr. He," in reference to an ancient story of a Mr. He who restored his vitality, sexual potency, and youthful appearance by taking the herb now named after him. While we aren't sure if this is the same person, He Shouwu, a Chinese man, is reputed to have lived until the age of 132, and is the first consumer of this herb to be reported.

NB he shou wu is heat treated in preparation, so it is not a raw ingredient.
