Polygonum multiflorum
Fo ti, also know as He Shou Wu, is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to tonify the liver and kidneys and to build blood. It is known to turn grey hair black again by augmenting the jing, or vital essence of the kidneys. The blood and essence deficiencies for which fo ti may be useful are often marked dizziness, tinnitus, vertigo, soreness and flaccidity of the lumbar and knees, erectile dysfunction, and early greying. Fo ti also moistens the intestines, helping to ease constipation. The fo ti we sell has been cured in a traditional preparation that includes black bean sauce and wine. This process enhances some of the root’s benefits and lends a smoky flavor.
**People with celiac disease may wish to avoid cured fo ti, as the curing liquid is not guaranteed to be gluten-free**

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
