He Shou Wu Root Powder- The Excellent daily herb to boost your organs

Long Luscious Lock Can Be Yours

I love discovering natural ways to accelerate my hair growth, the longer the better! Luscious long hair makes me feel sexy. I’ve got a secret to move your hair from good to great. Even if you love your hair worn short, I have still have a secret for you. It’s called Fo-ti and it can give you faster hair growth and better texture.

Never heard of it? I’m not surprised. It’s one of those exotic secrets you really have to dig for. Fo-ti is a plant that grows in areas of Asia, in places like China, Japan, and Taiwan. It’s also known as the ultimate longevity aid and supplements are made from the roots of the Fo-Ti plant. This root can also be called Polygonum multiflorum. Also be sure to buy prepared He Shou Wo although most supplements you would find would be, the raw root has a laxative effect.

You may have heard of it under the name of He Shou Wo, translated from Chinese as “Mr. He black-hair “. Legend has it that Mr. He was once tired and grey-haired until he experimented with the root of the fo-ti plant. Not only did he manage to restore his hair back to brilliant black, it also had more body and a youthful sheen.  Mr. He had a new energy and vitality. He Shou Wo is also very rich in zinc.

So, Fo-ti can help to prevent or even reverse grey hair and it can stimulate hair growth, nice benefits. You can see why I love it! Now be prepared to be impressed because it can do even more. Using Fo-ti leaves you with softer, thicker hair that just begs to be touched. How awesome is that?

It’s also a Chinese remedy for premature aging, as it is believed to nourish and aid the liver and kidney. It’s also been used to boost hormonal balance to help with night sweats, boost the libido in men and women, to increase energy, and to lower cholesterol and blood pressure.

Now for the not so great part that may or may not apply to you. The side effects are rare but can be loose stools or skin rashes. In really rare cases, it can cause numbness in arms or legs.  Really, anyone can use this herb but if you are pregnant I would skip it unless you are working one on one with an herbalist who advises otherwise.

I’ve been taking Fo-Ti on and off since I was 15. Every time, I noticed my hair grows twice as fast, I have more energy, umm, yes my libido is increased, just saying… Overall, I just feel happier (but that is subjective) and that’s not just because of the bonus libido side effect.

ASHWAGANDHA - THE HORSE WOOD OF MANKIND

Ashwagandha, one of the most powerful herbs in Ayurvedic healing, has been used since ancient times for a wide variety of conditions, and is most well-known for its restorative benefits. In Sanskrit Ashwagandha means “the smell of a horse,” indicating that the herb imparts the vigor and strength of a stallion, and has traditionally been prescribed to help people strengthen their immune system after an illness.

Ashwagandha is frequently referred to as “Indian ginseng” because of its rejuvenating properties, even though botanically, ginseng and Ashwagandha are unrelated.

Belonging to the same family as the tomato, Ashwagandha is a plump shrub with oval leaves and yellow flowers. It bears red fruit about the size of a raisin. The herb is native to the dry regions of India, northern Africa, and the Middle East, and today is also grown in more mild climates, including the United States.

Ashwagandha as an Adaptogenic Herb

In Ayurveda, there are specific herbs with adaptogenic benefits, Ashwagandha is one of them. Adaptogens are substances (a combination of amino acids, vitamins, and herbs) that modulate your response to stress or a changing environment. Adaptogens help the body cope with external stresses such as toxins in the environment and internal stresses such as anxiety and insomnia.

How to Add Ashwagandha to Your Daily Diet

According to Ayurveda, our bodies are woven from food. The nutrients we ingest are metabolized into the energy and information that form our cells, tissues, and organs. Every day our bodies need essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to maintain our body’s delicate balance. Taking an Ashwagandha supplement is a highly effective way to create that balance.
