Fo-Ti
is a Chinese herb used to tone
the chi. Fo-Ti is derived from
the dried roots of a Japanese
evergreen called Polygonum multiflorum.
In China, where it is called Ho
shou wu, Fo-Ti is said to possess
almost magical rejuvenating properties
and it is especially popular with
the elderly who believe it can
help one maintain hair color,
preserve youthfulness, and restore
fertility.
Traditional Chinese herbalists
place great emphasis on the shape
and age of the Ho shou wu roots,
with the older roots being in
great demand. Made into a tea
or infusion for oral ingestion,
both Eastern and Western herbalists
recommend Fo-Ti as a supplement
to maintain youthful vigor, increase
energy, tone the kidneys and liver,
and purify the blood. Fo-Ti is
also employed by herbalists as
a remedy for insomnia, stomach
upset, and diabetes.
Fo-Ti contains a number of glycosides
that account for the herb's use
as a adaptogen. Ho shou wu roots
may contain compounds that support
immune, nervous and hormonal systems.
Fo-Ti
is often used by athletes to support
stamina and endurance and is suggested
to shorten recovery time after
a work out.
