Fo-Ti is known in China as He Shou Wu. Millions of people in Asia use Fo-Ti every day. Not without reason, because over the centuries Fo-Ti has made a name for itself as a preserver of youthfulness and sexual performance. It is regarded as the tonic for vitality, freshness and energy. In traditional herbal science, this plant is recommended above all for older people who wish to have a fulfilled sex life again.

"With Fo-Ti, women get firm hair with volume. Men stop hair loss with Fo-Ti. For both sexes, Fo-Ti stops the greying of the hair." (Source: Encyclopaedia of Chinese Medicinal Herbs)

Fo-Ti for the colour pigments in the hair

The colour pigments (melanins) are found in the so-called fibre layer of the hair. The mixture ratio of the black-brown pigment to the red pigment determines the colour of the human hair. Around the fibre layer the hair is protected by a scaly layer. Because this layer is transparent, the colour pigments of the hair shimmer through it. If the scales of this layer stand out, the hair colour appears dull, if they lie against it, the colour pigments in the fibre layer shine powerfully through the scale layer. Over the years, the production of melanin decreases. In order to maintain melanin production, the roots of the Fo-Ti plant are traditionally eaten in China.
