Fo Ti Root Powder (He Shou Wu)

Traditional Prepared Chinese Herbal Root

Fo Ti, also known as He Shou Wu, flowery knotweed, or climbing knotweed, is an important herb used in traditional Chinese herbal practices. The root of the plant (Polygonum multiflorum) has been valued for centuries and is typically prepared using a traditional curing method.
