  • Legend has it that an incredible man lived to the remarkable age of 160, and his children to 130, all attributed to the extraordinary qualities of the Fo-Ti Root. Even in death, Ho Shou Wu's everlasting black hair stands as a testament to the miraculous root that significantly impacted his life. In Chinese, "Ho Shou Wu" translates to "Mr. Ho Black Hair." The Fo-Ti Root remains highly revered in Chinese medicine for its potential to promote graceful aging. According to legend, at the age of 58, Ho Shou Wu was unable to have children. After being recommended to take Fo-Ti Root, he not only became a father to many children, but also miraculously transformed his gray hair to black and his body to a younger state.
