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, restore fertility and tone the chi.
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.
